Consider This…

• On a scale of 1-10, how busy would you say you are?

• When you’re rushing from your room to class, or from class to a meeting, or a meeting to the dining hall, how often do you stop to look at a flyer on the wall?

And, most importantly…

What makes you think any of your peers are any less busy?

Let’s face it. Flyers don’t work.

So Let’s Try Something New.

Let’s try something…

A little more labor-intensive.

A little more thoughtful.

And a LOT more effective.

#21: Stick it On Candy… It’s pretty unlikely people will turn down free candy. Hand out candy with event details attached via stickers or tags. (IMAGE CREDIT: TVLand/Grasskirt Blog)

#22: Fruit Works Too, By the Way.Appeals for attendance don’t always have to be unhealthy. Consider handing out clementines, bananas, or other fruit that might appeal to people, with details attached via stickers or tags.(IMAGE CREDIT: Just Jared)

#23: BalloonsMost of us haven’t been given a balloon in quite a while. What if you handed out balloons with event information tied to the string, or even rolled up inside the balloon? It’d be a nice brief return to childhood that shared information. (IMAGE CREDIT: K-Onodera.net)

#24: Fortune Cookies Yep, you can buy fortune cookies customized to share event information. It costs a little more, and you’ll need to have all your information prepared well in advance, but the impact will be well worth it.http://www.fancyfortunecookies.com/Personalized_Vanilla_Fortune_Cookies_p/van1020.htm (IMAGE CREDIT: Fancy Fortune Cookies)

#25: PensTwo facts- everyone always needs a pen, and they can be gotten for pretty cheap if you know where to look. For bigger events, consider customizing pens or pencils to remind people about your event.http://www.orientaltrading.com/personalized-paper-ball-point-pens-a2-47_1665.fltr?Ntt=personalized%20pens (IMAGE CREDIT: Oriental Trading)

#27: Water Bottle LabelsYou can make these or buy them, but could be great for outdoor events on a hot day (hint, hint: involvement fair!), and provide something they want AND something you want them to have.http://www.orientaltrading.com/api/search?Ntt=water+bottle+labels (IMAGE CREDIT: Oriental Trading)

#28: MagnetsTake advantage of the fact that most halls (and most homes, for our commuter friends) have fridges, and create magnets saying what your flyer would! Magnet sheets can be bought for fairly cheap, and customized to carry your message. http://www.orientaltrading.com/awesome-adhesive-magnetic-sheets-a2-57_9500.fltr?Ntt=magnets (IMAGE CREDIT: Seriously Solutions)

#29: Treat FlagsConsider creating flags out of toothpicks and adhesive labels that list the information about your event, and hand them out stuck in brownies, cupcakes, or even apples or oranges to promote your event. (IMAGE CREDIT: TVTropes.org)

#30: Stuffed ToysCute fuzzies make (most) people happy. You can get a large amount for a small bit of money, and create a small label or slip with event info to slide in their paw or collar. (IMAGE CREDIT: FX)
