Make sure to submit your event to these places:

- Bloomington Music Yahoo! Group (must have a Yahoo! account to post)
Advertise: The content of your flier is up to you, but I suggest making the information legible and in somewhat large print. Make sure to include band names, venue, time, cost, and date. If you are looking for professional quality design and printing, incaseofemergencypress and mile44 are great resources.
It also a good idea to drop off recordings of the bands you are promoting at local radio stations. If you are promoting a national act, make sure to ask the radio station if they have a special “coming to town” section to add your recording to.
Let your friends know about events through social networking sites.
I don’t highly recommend this, but sometimes it helps to text or call your friends the day of the show to remind them.
Make sure to go to other events in town. Bloomington offers multiple concerts every night of the week, so meeting other musicians and people with similar musical interests is easy. Our weekly events list will show you what is happening. It can be as simple as “support your friends and they will support you”.
