I haven't been advertising much lately and it seems to be working. Due to being in a career transition and not knowing what the future holds, I don't want to book too far in advance. That being said I have two customers that are keeping me pretty busy. They have sent me 6 gigs from halloween to NYE. One is a golf course and the other a nice hall and both are less than 2kms from my house.

Pretty much some of the same things as in the past....
Large Bridal Show in Springfield, IL. Just one booth.
Smaller Bridal Show in Hillsboro, IL. Utilizing 2 booth spaces and we'll be providing lighting and sound for the Bridal Fashion Show and sound for announcements. We'll also be doing photographs for the the Fashion show as we get a lot of referrals from this Bridal shop.
Possible Bridal Show in Decatur, IL. If we do this one, it will be just one booth.
A lot less money spent on print ads, maybe none at all.
We're going to let the YP age run another year and then will probably pull the plug on it as the ROI is pretty much non-existant.
New Polo shirts with our logos embroidered on them. We're veering away from the white ones that we've had in the past.
New Dress shirts with our logos embroidered on them and like the polo shirts, we're gonna have more colors than white.
That's just off the top of my head.

Our YP ad runs from July to July. Last July we took the colour out of the ad and and took the display ad out of the adjoining market. This cut the price in about half
We are going to run some radio ads in prime booking season (January and February)
Finish developing the website.
New jackets and shirts
Direct mailing and emails to venues and schools

Unfortunately I currently have no working capital so all my marketing will come as minimal / no cost.
I also have only 1 non-bar event left on the books for 2009 so not much available there. With that being said it's a sweet 16 and it's this Saturday. I'm hoping to get some help so that I can take some nice pictures and possibly some video.
I will continue to work on improving my search engine stats. I will also work harder on persuing every lead that comes through my email and phone.
I also would like to add more upselling ability to my site. I'm going to get better uplighting and mongram pictures somehow to increase sales.

If you get a little time Cam check out the Guerrilla Marketing series it should be available at your local Library. There is alot of great ideas that can be implemented at very little or no cost
