Spreading the Word About RP
| Tell a Friend About RP via Email |
|---|
| Talk Up RP in Forums, Blogs, etc. |
|
When you run across an appropriate place to mention RP - such as music forums like those on
CraigsList.org,
SlashDot discussions that are about music or radio,
websites for artists that are played on RP, or other appropriate locations - don't be shy about letting
people know about Radio Paradise. Be sure to include our web address in your post.
IMPORTANT: it isn't an accident that we used the word "appropriate" twice in the preceding paragraph. It's important not to spam forums, post on non-music-related sites or site areas, or otherwise annoy people in RP's name. That'll only reflect poorly on us. |
| Post or Pass Out Flyers & Cards |
|
We can't afford to mail out copies of flyers and promo cards, but we'd be happy to provide the artwork for you
to print your own. We have artwork for 8.5" x 11" flyers and 3.5" x 2" cards (standard business card size). You
can print out a few flyers to stick up at your local indy music store or coffee house, or you can have Kinko's
print you up a couple of thousand and hit the cars in the parking lot at a U2 concert.
We do request that you always ask permission before posting flyers anywhere. We don't want you to get into trouble (or get us into trouble...). Right-click the following links and select "Save Target As..." or "Save Link As..." to save the graphics files to your hard drive: Print-ready 11 x 8.5 Flyer 10-up sheet for 3 x 2.5 Handout Card (coming soon) Note: download instructions above are for Windows. The procedure is slightly different if you use Linux or a Mac. |
| Put a RP Plug in your Email Signature |
|
Almost every email program lets you add a "signature" to the bottom of all of your outgoing emails. Many RPers add
a brief mention of RP along with our web address to their signature. Something like "Check out my favorite radio station:
Radio Paradise - www.radioparadise.com".
In Outlook Express, you can do this by clicking "Options" and then the "Signatures" tab. If you need help, you can email webmaster@radioparadise.com. |
