How to Organize and Hold a Promotional Event for a Bubble Show?

During preparation, you must understand what format of the event will take. There are three types of promos. The first is when you perform as part of a big concert program at a city festival. The second is an event that you completely organize yourself. And the third is your performance at wedding exhibitions.

Suppose you have a day of the city fest. Naturally, there will be many artists. Your free performance will be a temptation for many parks and other different venues. Initially, you contact the organizers and offer them your services: a 10-minute bubble show as a part of the general program. You ask them to place our ad board, or to mention you on their banner with your phone number.

Or you can make a separate curtain on your desk, on which there will be information about you with your contact details. People will take pictures of you, and they will have your phone number in the pictures. It is also very important that you are correctly announced before and after the performance, so that viewers understand who performed and who to look for later.

The second type of promotional event is when you organize everything yourself. You can contact the administration of any park. On a regular weekend they normally have no shows. Offer them your services, that you will do a 40-min bubble show, and then you will blow bubbles with kids. In exchange for this, ask them to hang your banner in the park. I can offer the following option: throughout the entire summer, every Saturday we entertain children for one hour in the park blowing bubbles with them. The banner with your advertising will hang all summer and autumn. With your photo, logo, and phone number.

Seems like a very good move and with the right approach it will bring you certain benefits. First of all, they will come to know you. And secondly, many will want to see more, because you can't show a lot of things outdoors. People will see your costume, props. In general, when choosing artists for a holiday, they will more likely choose from those whom they have already seen in person.

There is one more kind of promotion – a promo-performance at wedding exhibitions. Definitely yes, because at these exhibitions you show yourself not only to your potential clients, but also to presenters, organizers, all people who are in the weddings industry. You need to hang around, especially if you are a beginner, especially if no one knows you, you need to show yourself off. Be sure to participate; although, for such promotional events you are usually asked to pay some fee, but it's worth it, believe me.

In winter, holding promotional activities is a little more difficult. You have to contact cinema theaters, shopping centers, try to talk with them. It is not always possible to perform for free in very large shopping centers.

They can even ask you for money. In this situation, you might be helped by ad agencies that work with them. You need to search, ask around, maybe on the eve of some holiday they will by interested in a bubble show.

If there are no bubble shows in your city, then you can't do without promos at all. If there is a bubble show in your city, but very small and inconspicuous, you also cannot do without promos. Because the market is just dead.

If you do not know that there is another bubble in your city, then, most likely, you will not be searched on the Internet either. Therefore, do a promotional event, it helps a lot to unwind.

If you want to perform at a concert or in a shopping center, then you must understand in advance what kind of event it will be. If it takes place on Monday at 10 am, then, most likely, your participation in it is unlikely to bring you a bunch of new customers and some kind of benefit at all. If it is a weekend evening, there will be a lot of spectators. And if it is a day of the city fest or some other large-scale event, then you need to grab it with your both hands and be sure to participate in it.

Also, you need to think in advance what you will show and how often and also what you will allow children and adults to do with your props. Imagine that you are surrounded by a crowd of 30 people. They are not so easy to tear off the tray, and most likely you will lose half of your wands. They will disassemble them for souvenirs.
