What is the Best Way to Distribute Handbills/Flyers?
A great way to advertise is to distribute handbills at concerts of similar genres to the artist you are promoting. Distribute handbills during the concert. Distribute handbills at the door as people arrive or leave. Mention the artist website as you distribute handbills. i.e. “Hey check out [artist] on myspace!” or “Listen to [artist] on artist.com.” Leave some handbills and any other promotional materials at the merch table. Ask the merchandise person for permission first. Most clubs also have a table near the entrance where you can leave a stack of flyers or stickers. If security asks you to stop distributing handbills or promoting, stop! Always ask permission if posting flyers inside a store, venue, or any business. Leave handbills on car windshields in the venue parking lot during shows of artists with a similar fan-base to the artist you are promoting. Always do this in groups! Check your local newspaper for upcoming shows. You can also search for shows in your area on ticketmaste
