Promoter's Zone

How does Northants Touring Arts help?

Being a promoter can be both fun and exciting, but it is also hard work. It needs someone motivated at a local level. Promoting is often led by one person and is very successful. A group of volunteers, however, spreads the load and can make promoting more fun with different people taking on different responsibilities. There is a difference between publicising an event by putting up posters in public places, and actively encouraging your local community to attend.  Remember NTA is here to help you.

To help promoters put on a show we provide the following:

• A 'menu' of events for promoters to choose from. The menu gives a description about the show on offer and details such as technical requirements, space needed, suitable age range and cost.
• A venue visit for new venues.
• Written agreements to promoters and performers.
• A4 posters and A5 flyers overprinted with your show details, eight weeks before the show. (where available)
• A Show Sheet telling you all about the show.
• Press releases to press, TV, radio and What’s On guides.
• A tour brochure that is distributed throughout the county.
• A listing on the Northants Touring Arts web site.
• A post show call (if we are not at a show) to see how the show went and to find out what we could do better next time.
• Opportunities for promoters to meet, share experiences, receive training and visit each other’s events.
