Re: was marketing...now Publicity

Dear Glenn,
I am not sure what other AIS clubs do, but some obvious moves are ads in the local paper, letting  other area garden clubs and societies know about it, letting local nurseries know -- maybe they would even post a flyer for their customers to see, and letting the schools know -- the high schools home ec departments could receive a flyer. Just print a flyer and send it to all likely destinations.

Good points Julia.  I would like to add that I have never seen anything pertaining to any AIS type event publicized outside the AIS bulletin or local club newsletter.  This conversation has got me to thinking about "Publicity!"  My wife, Linda, has just been appointed Publicity Chairperson for our local club.  Neither Linda or myself has had any experience at this before and Linda is the first person in our club to hold this position.  How do other clubs handle publicity for shows and sales?  How do you all bring in non club/AIS members to these events?
