go to your yahoo main page and click on "more yahoo services" then click on "upcoming" add your event to every different community. g mail, hotmail etc...
Post it on CraigslistWhat are some ideas to gain last minute publicity for an event?
try contacting the local radio station and tell them about the event . maybe they will broadcast it
post signs in high traffic areas(malls, busy streets, ect.), craigslist, recycler, going.com, ect.. you kinda dropped the ball if your just promoting this now.What are some ideas to gain last minute publicity for an event?
print up 2' x 3' yard signs and distribute them all over



small market? big market?



Sign shakers are cheap and very effective. Hire students/interns to stand out in the street with signage.



Newspaper? Do you have one? Get them involved. Articles daily up to event. If you have no clout, some of your board/sponsors do.



Local TV/Radio? Are they involved? Free publicity.



Who are the "celebrities" in your area? Get them involved.
Depends on your product. Think out of the box
