Thanks for booking The Sloppy Boys! Get ready to sell a lot of drinks at the bar!

MARKETING

We promote consistently on our weekly podcast, socials and discord server, but YOU are our boots on the ground in your city! We’re relying on you to get the word out locally! Here are the best practices we recommend:

Post our show poster, or additional promo materials (our videos, etc), to your Instagram grid and/or Facebook page at least three times:

  • upon announcement

  • a week before the show

  • in the days leading up to the show (NOT the day of the show!)

Including us in your monthly lineup listing post is excellent, but does NOT count as any of the above! Posting the show buried in a “carousel” is also nice but does NOT count as any of the above!

We run our own socials (@thesloppyboys) and are ready to accept collab requests at any moment!

SOCIAL MEDIA

Place the physical 11×17 poster at points of interest throughout your community, not just inside your venue!

  • telephone poles, community boards, coffee shops

  • other friendly businesses

  • local arts & culture listings/calendars
