Roll Call: Phish> Bfast, 5/31

[NickNels]

If someone throws up a flyer of some sort I\'d def print a bunch up.

the flier for this must be good and should be approved by the band, imo. must also include directions as simply stated and clear to read as possible.

and maybe work out some sort of deal w/ the club like show your phish ticket and get a free drink or $2 off admission (or whatever). just some sort of extra enticement. my .02.

Good idea, but it really shouldn\'t be a problem filling this place up.  400 people, right?  The venue is literally 3 miles down Commonwealth.

:lol: at the thought of the band "disapproving" a flier.

What if Phish decides to pull some epic biz where they play till like 2:00AM?

that might happen because - wait, what do the kids say? - they\'re scared of the breakfast!

:sigh:

Dave has been Mr. Postivie recently about The Breakfast

everything just pales in comparison to of Montreal

[Spacey]

The flyer should be a baseball card and easy to carry.

I\'d say downright mean, at times...

i like this.

front and back.

front = picture of band
back = directions and vital information

Promotion is an investment. The only way to get noticed is to do something different. With proper use of your network this project could be done and ready for print by the weekend.

Offer the venue the opportunity to invest in this idea because 400 people will bring a lot of money. The venue\'s information is on the back, free advertising for them.

You will have much more success with an idea that is creative then the same run of the promotion ever band uses. People will keep these. They will want one.

That place will be packed and a line outside. The reason? Someone actually looked at the piece of paper you gave them instead of pocketing it or tossing it aside without a care.

The only question is what is the price of earning more exposure and fans.

[bdfreetuna]

The price is free. I\'ll make one tomorrow I\'m just too damn busy today. It will be one sided so any of you can print it out and spunions don\'t get confused by strange pieces of paper with flowing egyptian text on more than one side.

Spacey.... normally you\'re right on the money bro but I think this = guaranteed sell out. I\'ll make some funky handouts tomorrow we can all pocket a few dozen. No need to try to get venue to "invest".... I think they did enough by booking The Breakfast right after Phenway. The rest is up to us. And as for the handouts... I got it covered. Hang tight !

If someone can post a send-space link to a sample cd (i have one i have of the best of the best of b-fast in 2008 thread), but am open to suggestions, i have a repeater i can use and bang out a good number of cds.

Phish is playing right down the road like an hour before the show. LOL

Here\'s how we sell this out::: 25% creating buzz on PT
                                    ::: 25% handing out handouts
                                    ::: 50% getting your friends and their friends to go and hype the  shit out of it to anyone around you @ Phenway.

[Jim Cobb]

guaranteed sell out

no such thing.

plus, selling the place out is one thing.  selling it out and having to turn away just as many people as you let in.....  that goes a LONG way and word gets around about that stuff.

[tyzack]

Also, I agree with spacey, but I have about as much skill in graphical arts as I do in building thermo-nuclear devices.

[roach2226]

if 1 out of every 75 people from the 30,000 walk down the street its gonna sell out. i think ima get my ticket ahead of time

[antbach]

I can get 500-1000 two-sided full color business cards (2" x 3") with great color and whatnot done really cheap, though I\'d think that\'s be a bit small.
