Word-of-mouth is often the best promotion for an event. And nothing spreads faster than the word-of-mouth buzz for a big party. A good way to create instant hype for your party is to distribute tickets. Through your fliers and advertising, get the word out that tickets for the event are limited and won’t last long. People never want to miss out on a party, and distributing tickets only increases the hype. Before you know it, people will be lining up to come and safely party the night away.
You have all of these great ideas, now how are you going to pay for it? If you work hard, you may not have to put up much cash of your own. You'll want to start by making a list of target donors. Look in athletic or theater programs to locate those who have supported school projects in the past. Next, make a list of businesses that your student body supports on a regular basis, such as fast food restaurants, music stores and yogurt shops. Add to the list businesses that are run by parents of students that attend your school.
The next step is to decide what to ask for. For instance, you'll want to ask your local music store to donate a few CDs, or local restaurants to donate gift certificates. If you can't think of goods or services the business could donate, then you may want to ask for a monetary contribution to cover expenses. You can raise money on your own through activities such as car washes and bake sales.
