Promoting Your Show

The KC Fringe Staff works very hard to promote the overall festival through print, radio, web, billboards, word of mouth, carrier pigeon, really whatever it takes! To be fair, we do not promote individual shows or tell the media whom to cover. The most successful past shows have taken the initiative to get the word out to people in several ways. Here is a list of ideas that you may find helpful for getting more butts-in-seats at your show:

• Take advantage of the Fringe kickoff party on Thursday July 21st to do short teasers of your act. Many people decide what shows they want to see then!
• Show up for Late Night at Fringe Central at the end of the evening during festival to talk to people and generate a buzz about your show.
• Hand out fliers to your show at events or places where there are lots of people, such as First Fridays in the Crossroads.
• Place fliers at Fringe Central and Fringe 411 for people to grab.
• Place ads in local publications.
  
• Used social media like MySpace, Twitter and Facebook to promote your work.
  
• Reached out to the media (papers, TV, radio) to generate interest. Here is a list of some media contacts around town.
