What is the Best Way to Distribute Handbills/Flyers?

 
A great way to advertise is to distribute handbills at concerts of similar genres to Chris.

Distribute handbills during the concert.



Distribute handbills at the door as people arriving or leaving

Mention Chris''s websites (mechanicaldummy, planetchrisbrown, chrisbrownonlinestore, chrisbrownworld) as you distribute handbills. i.e.

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 ticketmaster.com.



To find out if artists with upcoming concerts in your area have a similar fan-base to the Chris , you can visit www.last.fm, type in the his  name in the search box on the top right, and see “User Tags” for musical genre on the right. The “Similar Artists” section on the left may also help you to determine whether this show is a good place to promote your artist.
