If you've booked an event or fund-raiser at Martini’s:
Thank you for thinking of Martini’s for your event! We'd like to share some tips we've learned in promoting hundreds of events, parties and shows during the last 5 years.
Martini’s has no built-in crowd. Few people drop in at Martini’s just to see what's going on. That means you must make sure people know about your event and make a commitment to attend.

Be careful of your ticket price. People won't pay double or triple what they think a show or party is worth just because they know you or because it's a good cause.
If you are providing live entertainment and plan to use our house sound system, you must hire our house sound technician. If you are hiring a DJ, you don't need to hire our sound technician, but the DJ must be self-contained and not plug into our house sound.

In addition to the cost of your entertainment and the sound technician, you will probably be asked to absorb the cost of the following: room rental; security; dinner and drinks for your entertainers (if you choose to provide it); a ticket seller, door person and ID checker; cleanup; servers; bartenders; and other costs that may be associated with the production of your event.
If you have not picked a date yet, consider a weekday. We can be more flexible Monday through Wednesday.

If your event is a party or fundraiser, assume that you must use our bar. We rarely allow you to bring in your own beverages.

We are counting on you to bring in people to enjoy s. It's great that people may buy a ticket to support your event. But we want them to show up, hear the entertainment, learn more about you or your organization, see Martini’s, drink a beer or soda.

Promoting your concert or event:
Your show or event will be included on our calendar grid. Your part of that grid will include the name of the band, two or three words to describe you, the show start time and the price.

Your show or event also will be included in the calendar section of our website. Also, please send us a photo of your band or your entertainment. It should be a high-quality JPEG of at least 640x480 pixels, but no larger than 2000x2000. You may also send any relevant logos and the link to your website.

Again, we're counting on you! If you're lucky enough to have a promotions company, ask them to read this. Otherwise, it's up to you to spread the word.
Here are some ideas:
o Send notices to the local media. Call local media and ask them for coverage.

o Make flyers and posters. Bring or mail your posters and flyers to Martini’s and we
will take them to other locations willing to help promote your event.

o IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not post flyers on public or private property without permission. This means telephone poles, empty buildings, windshields of cars. The city will fine you and Martini’s, too.

o Start a street-team. Give away CDs ... or guitar lessons ... in exchange for help with promotion.

o Radio advertising is very expensive. Too expensive for promoting most shows. Call the local stations, plus public radio stations in SW Florida and ask whether they're willing to help promote your show. You'll find relevant contacts on our media list. Ask us for suggestions and help. Just remember: We really want your concert or event to succeed. But we have dozens of events to promote. You are the biggest and best promoter you have.
