Email Newsletter: Send an email to your subscribers with all the details of your comedy night. Include the date, time, ticket price, and a link to purchase tickets. You can also offer a discount code or early bird special to incentivize people to buy tickets. Hell, if you’re feeling generous, throw in a free drink or basket of onion rings. People love that stuff.
Street Team: Enlist the help of a street team to promote your event. These are your foot soldiers, your guerilla marketers. They’re gonna hit the streets, put up flyers, and talk to anyone who’ll listen about your comedy night. And if they’re really good, they might even convince people to come in for a drink or two. Get your staff to talk to customers in your bar. Offer them a free raffle ticket for a grand prize or a small commission for each ticket sold.
Partnerships: Partner with other businesses in your area to promote your event. This could be a local radio station, newspaper, or even a nearby hotel.
