Well, I've never tried to advertise an event before. I thought that after laying the groundwork, finding the avenues to advertise, getting some word-of mouth going, getting some regulars, etc., it would get easier. Turns out that a lot of free advertising outlets (e.g. periodicals) will not accept recurring events, even though it occurred to me that the same bars who post events have basically the same thing every week: a band. The band changes and people go there and do the same thing every week: listen and drink beer. Those get posted every week: same venue, same activity. Why can't I post a weekly event? *sigh* It's just wearing me down to have to put up flyers all the time. Does anyone know of like a flyer distribution service or something or know any better/less effort-intensive ways to advertise in Buffalo?
