Survei Hip Hop

Use your resources in planning an event. Without the help of my friends and people they knew, the event planning for Hip Hop Hunger would not have gone as well as it did. Your resources will of course be different than mine, but I thought it would be helpful for me to provide this list. Here is a list of my resources for promotion and how I used them:

Situational:
[] RHS (Rogers High School) Leadership's room for making posters and lunchtime announcements.
[] Making a watercolor picture advertising the event as a project for Art Class.
[] Inviting friends from church and school.
[] Meeting and inviting friends' friends from church and school.
[] Meeting and inviting friends' friends' friends from church and school (okay you get the point).

Helpful People:
[] Teachers' and students' wisdom with experience
[] Musical Artists I mostly had already had some form of communication with
[] The RHS school newspaper calendar
[] Students in my leadership class and friends who added unique colors to the black and white posters.

NOTE: if you're planning on doing this event at your school, you may want to ask someone in charge if it's okay to make the event information available to everyone in and out of school or to what groups can you advertise the event.

Online I used:
[] The Hip Hop Is Music forums (for asking questions on how to promote an event)
[] BLOGGER.com for making a website to promote the event
[] Local Community Websites
[] Facebook for inviting friends to come
[] The News Tribune's (local paper) online calendar
[] Upcoming Yahoo!'s online events listing
[] ClubFlyers.com for flyers (thanks Leonard for recommending this!)
[] Sphere of Hip Hop's forums for advertising
