If you’re a musician living in the Syracuse, NY area, you know you have competition when it comes to marketing your music-related event. You know your band is talented, but what can you do to get people to come out and enjoy your gig? You’ve seen posters for just about every event stuck on corkboards everywhere, from your favorite coffee shop to the grocery store – often, many at a time. The memorable posters are the ones that look great and stand out – and that’s the kind of poster that can help get people in the door at your next gig.

A fairly inexpensive way to promote your band or musical group is with posters announcing the event. The key to making it a successful way to promote your group, however, is all in the details. You need to make sure they’re well designed, using visually attractive graphics, fonts and colors, and of course have very clear details about venue, costs, and dates and time. And, by creating a poster that is designed to sell your gig, you’re showing the venue you’ll be performing at that you care about making the event a success, too – and that translates into being asked back again. It’s always a good idea to provide the venue with some of the posters you have printed as well, so they can hang and distribute them. After all, they need to make money from your gig, too.

If you plan on having posters printed for your event, make sure you start the process in advance. You’ll want to be able to work with a graphic designer to get just the look you want for your band, and a look that all members agree with. When you have several opinions, sometimes that process can be a bit lengthy. The benefit of creating a look for your poster well enough in advance is that you’ll be able to use that same template time and time again, just changing event information and making simple design edits like changing out photos. Having that basic, agreed-upon template in place will make it easy to get your poster print-ready for the next gig.
