With a great program and line up of exhibitors, we're all set to draw a great crowd. However, as a new event, the expo requires a LOT of promotion to insure success. So, MI Green Team is doing its part, including:

• coordinating the event with the established popular farmers' market to share its audience 
• securing media sponsorships  
  
• posting calendar listings is many area media outlets
  
• publishing paid ads in December and January Natural Awakenings Magazine, and in January Body Mind Spirit Guide 
• sending event announcements to 6,500+ email subscribers on MGT and affiliated lists 
• posting many paid Facebook ads from MGT Facebook pages with 5,000+ Likes
  
• distributing printed posters and postcards to participants and others
  
• maintaining a detailed event website www.NYNYWE.com 
  

Experience tells us that this effort is about half of the effort needed, and that as much or more of the attendance is generated by participants' efforts, including word of mouth, email, social media and advertising. So, that's where you come in! Now and up to the day of the event is the perfect time to promote your expo participation, by:

• joining and inviting all your local Facebook friends to join the NYNYWE Facebook event (https://www.facebook.com/events/3102267886666020/) 
• tagging and sharing event posts on MGT Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/migreenteam & www.facebook.com/miearthday)
• donating door prizes and sharing prize drawings Facebook posts   
• placing web banners, sending email announcements, and linking to www.NYNYWE.com (see below)
  
• ordering and distributing posters and postcards at your or other busy locations
  
• checking the Invite webpage for additional promotional ideas and resources
• letting us know how your promotions are going, so we can recognize your efforts and encourage others

Direct promotion is THE best way to insure turnout at your exhibit. The final weeks before the event are the very best time to promote! With your help, we're building quite a buzz and looking forward to another great crowd at the New Year, New You! Wellness Expo.
