Dark Monday Marketing for Theatres

​

Presented by Alex Miller

​

Up your game to promote your shows with minimal time and money.

​

Marketing and public relations can be a tough area to handle on top of everything else you do to put on a great show. But every empty seat represents a missed opportunity, so how can you help fill them without expending too much time and money?

​
