Promoting Your Concert
Now that you have booked your concert, we have information to help you reach out to the community. Many times a person can be reached with the gospel by listening to music. This will help to provide an avenue for you to reach out to the lost in the community or to encourage fellow Christians.
To make your concert a success, we have put together some promotional ideas. You can print out this list so you, or someone on your team can check off each item.

Defraying the Costs of Your Concert
The following is a list of simple, standard ways to insure that your concert is in no way a financial burden to you. It certainly doesn't have to be.

* CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP *
This truly is the hallmark of removing financial stress. There are always individuals, organizations, and businesses that would love to have their names associated with a Christian family event. The average corporate donation is a multiple of $250, or whatever they agree to. Also, in lieu of money, have businesses donate goods or services. Hotel rooms, food, advertising ... you can have all of these details taken care of at a reduced, or even no cost. In return for the support of these individuals and businesses you can guarantee that their name be prominently mentioned in publicity, or their logo displayed on the tickets, posters, and brochures (and then have the printing donated as well). You can provide the businesses a certain amount of free tickets, a choice of reserved seats, a chance to meet the artists at a reception or meal, or whatever interests them in investing in this concert. Hopefully there will be several investors at your disposal with no interest other than quietly facilitating a positive community outreach.


* TEAMWORK *
If you are still intimidated by the issue of numbers, simply partner up. If you are a small church, join with a couple of other churches. Besides splitting the costs, you automatically increase the involvement and attendance base for your concert. With a little coordination and willingness to work with others, this can be a very positive thing.



We hope that these ideas, as simple as they are, will put you at ease about what is always an area of needless concern. As you can see, it's perfectly feasible to have your entire event covered with just a little pre-planning and effort.


Fundraising Opportunity
Make a concert a benefit. Your building fund, youth group, a children's home, or local domestic violence center ... or whatever the need might be in your community. As willing as people and organizations are to be a part of a Christian outreach effort, they are usually even more inclined to support a good cause. Give them a cause to 'get behind' and you'll be surprised at the seemingly staunch sponsors you can involve.

Concert Flyer
Once you have confirmed a date for a concert, you can download a "Concert Flyer" to put up inside your church or other churches in your area or in various locations around your town to advertise your concert. Just click on the link below the "Concert Flyer" to pull that flyer up and you can type in all of the necesary information on that flyer before you print it out. You may print as many as needed.
If you do not have the capability to print the flyer out, just contact Scott @ (770) 227-5374 or skot@crimsonriver.org and we will be glad to mail you a "Concert Flyer".
