Marketing campaign?
We are concentrating on building a following in the local community and beyond to the greater island community. We target social media like facebook, instagram, and link with fellow art, craft and design communities and bloggers.
Our print campaign consists of local newspaper ads, postering, and signage.
Each vendor will be sent a stack of marketing material to distribute personally in their community. We invite and encourage each vendor join the Show of Hands facebook event page and send out personal invites to their friends, family and networks.
