Non-profit Small Fish In A Big Ritzy Pond
I am PR Chairman for my 120-member championship women's chorus. We are not professionals, are all-volunteer, and we have busy lives. We need advice on how to get some publicity and ticket sales for our shows without spending money. (none to spare) Our market is Los Angeles/Orange County. We compete against internationally-known talent in an entertainment-rich area. Major newspapers won't even list our show in their show sections. (nothin's free in this town) We are NOT community based, as we rehearse in one city and perform elsewhere, so we get no mileage from local resources. We have few contacts and little clout to call upon. We need some guerilla tactics to get heard and get known.
