Section III. Marketing
The marketing of an event is the primary responsibility of the
sponsor. The Public Affairs office is available to be of assistance
with
the publications (events brochure, posters, programs, tickets,
etc) for an event and the marketing through local media (press
releases, newspaper ads, etc).
A. Marketing an event through
publications
Publicity. Sponsors should arrange that events be publicized
on the campus at least one week in advance through the college's
regular
means for communicating with faculty, students and staff. Sponsors
are encouraged to announce events in Around the Heart which is
distributed by a daily e-mail message to campus listservs,
a blog at the Web
site and a weekly printed edition.
Publicity off-campus, for public events, should be coordinated
through the Coordinator of Events, who will involve the office
of Public
Affairs as appropriate.
Around The Heart - Information about
events not listed in the semester's Events Brochure submissions can
be sent to aroundtheheart@earlham.edu. Submissions should only include
title of event, location of event, time of event, contact person
and ticket information. Around
the
Heart is e-mailed daily and printed weekly; it is available
online.
Events Brochure -- The Events Brochure is the College’s public
calendar of events for each semester. The brochure is mailed
one month before each semester starts. Requests for Events Brochure
submissions
occur by mid semester of the fall and spring semesters for
the following semester’s events.
When an event is listed in the public Events Brochure all
submissions for the newsletter, Around the Heart and press
releases will
be the responsibility of Public Affairs. For additional
information not
stated in the Events Brochure to be used for marketing
the sponsor must contact Public Affairs at least four weeks prior
to the
event.
Posters – Contact the Public Affairs office at least six
weeks prior to an event with all the pertinent information
not contained
in the Events Brochure. The Office of Events can provide
a listing of sites in the community that accept campus posters.
Press Releases – For
events not listed in the Events Brochure, submit information at
the online press
release form.
The press releases will be sent to area news agencies
and radio
stations three weeks prior to the event.
Web Events Calendar – Once
the sponsor has received confirmation of the space Request then
submissions to the Web Events Calendar
can be made to the Web Calendar Editor at ext. 1581.
Programs – If your event requires a printed program, make
arrangements with Public Affairs at least six weeks
in advance.
B. Other marketing opportunities
The Office of Events can provide specific information on these
and other marketing opportunities
