# Local Broadcast Event Promotion
This playbook describes a strategic approach to promoting events using local radio and television stations. The focus is on effectively reaching a target demographic within a geographic area to increase event attendance.

### Step 1: Research
Identify and research local radio and TV stations that align with your target demographic. Consider factors like the station&#x27;s audience size, the typical content they broadcast, and their engagement within the community.

### Step 2: Contact
Reach out to the stations with a tailored pitch. Highlight how promoting your event can benefit their audience, and provide clear details about the event, such as date, time, location, and purpose.

### Step 3: Negotiate
Discuss promotional opportunities and negotiate terms, such as airtime, rates, and the potential for cross-promotions or sponsorships. Aim for packages that fit your budget while maximizing exposure.

### Step 4: Create Materials
Develop captivating promotional materials tailored to radio and TV formats. For radio, focus on engaging audio content. For TV, produce visually appealing commercials or segment features.

### Step 5: Schedule Spots
Work with station representatives to schedule your promotional spots. Aim for times with high listenership or viewership to ensure the best reach.

### Step 6: Monitor
Monitor the performance of your promotions. Collect data on audience reach and engagement, and be prepared to adjust your strategy if necessary.

### Step 7: Follow-up
After the event, follow up with the stations to thank them for their partnership and share any relevant success metrics or attendee feedback that can strengthen future collaborations.

## General Notes

### Rights &amp; Permissions
Ensure that all promotional materials comply with broadcast regulations and intellectual property rights. Obtain necessary permissions for music, images, and other content that will be used.

### Budgeting
Carefully plan your budget to accommodate for promotional costs without overextending your resources. Factor in the potential return on investment when considering expensive slots.
