 B & G Sponsored Event owners, Bill and Gail Rocheleau, are vendors as well as coordinators.  As such, they know the importance of advertising.  Advertising is very high on their list of priorities when planning an event.  They feel it is very important for their vendors to know what is being done to promote each event.

1.) Keeba Agency has been hired to do online advertising, podcasting, exposure on Social media, etc.

They feel that Keeba Agency has done that and much more.  They have done far more than what the contract agreement covers....thanks to Mr. William Lee.

2.) Since September 1, 2018 B & G Sponsored events have their own podcast show.  It will run at 8:30 on Saturday mornings starting May 11, 2019.  They are looking for vendors who would like to guest on their show.  Please contact Bill or Gail if you are interested in being a guest.  The shows are prerecorded so you don't need to be concerned about falling out of bed early to participate in the program.

3. B&G Sponsored Events advertises in the Patch.com & other Pierce County newspapers.

4.) Flyers are made readily available to all vendors when their space has been confirmed in the confirmation email.  It is requested that all vendors help with advertising.  B & G cannot reach each individual vendor's family, friends or customers.

5.) B & G places their bright pink signs in the neighborhood Thursday before each the event.  If we were To put them out any earlier invites them to grow feet and walk away.  

6.) A stand up flag was purchased for the last show.  More flags will be purchased as funds allow.

7.) B & G has one person who hands out flyers for each show to all of his contacts and at work.

8.) They are constantly looking for new and unique ways to advertise... The B&G podcast now on iHeart Radio! 

9.) B & G, with the help of the Keeba Agency, are actively seeking more ways to publicize current happenings on Social Media.   

10.)  It has been expressed to B & G in the past, that a few vendors feel that it isn't their responsibility to advertise for a successful event.  They are only half right.  It is not the responsibility of the vendors to PAY for any advertising.  Paid advertising comes from vendor fees.  But it is the vendors responsibility to do free advertising to help insure success. 

 Vendors are encouraged to advertise on their social media platforms. The link to the Facebook event page is found in the confirmation e-mail, please, click on the link say you are going and invite your contacts.
