JANUARY 2014 PLAN

Marketing Campaign Describing paragraph: Mj will write up a describing paragraph and run it past by the group in the facebook group. Business cards: Each member has a stack to give out to people to promote the Launch and The Art Crowds website and Facebook page. Mixed feelings about this Might be something to think about later down the track.

Newspaper: Logan has contacts to someone who works for the local Newspaper

Sunday Markets: Also mixed feelings. Maybe something to consider when we have more events under our belt.

Posters: Want modern looking posters to promote the competition.

Approaching schools go directly to the arts teachers, guidance officers : Should be done during the first week of Term 1 2014. Start getting in contact with the important people the Arts teachers, guidance officers etc. MJ needs to have chat with Zane Trow before this happens. Approaching other Redlands arts groups: Not so important but if we are doing It we are only looking at art groups aimed for young people.
