_____

**Promotional Strategies**

Promotion will be done mainly through social media. Media agencies will be contacted to advertise and act as a media partner for the event. SMS and phone calls will be made on a timely basis to inform difference colleges about the event. 

1. PRE-EVENTPAGE Create a pre-event central page to capture early interest of the Rotaractors. 

2. SOCIAL MEDIA Hashtags (#) campaigns on Facebook, Instagram for people to follow along with your event through a simple search on their social media networks. We will have our hashtag ready to go from the moment we begin promoting our event. Social media quizzes games to fetch attractions, as well pre-event promotional materials to capture the interest of the youths. 

3. PAID PROMOTIONS Paid social media campaign to attract maximum participants and youths from schools, colleges to encourage them to be part of the event. 

4. EMAIL Regular emails to colleges and prospect participants constantly grabbing their attention for the event. 

5. PRESS RELEASEConduct press release to spread awareness about the event. 

6. MASS EMAILS Use mass promotion tools like MailChimp, Mailerlite to reach out all the possible participants. 

7. PROMOTIONAL VIDEO Throughout the phase of promotions, multiple high standards promotional videos will be produced to grab the attention of the potential participant. Hack The Midlands I’m assuming ourupcoming hackathon will be virtual.  


___________

Therefore, https://hackthemidlands.com/sponsorship.pdf ‘s Virtual hackathon proposal seems to be a good standard of what we may want to put out. I do not think them being based out of the UK should be a problem. 


I really like the creativity within this proposal.

It’s short and sweet, but also gets straight to the point which I also like.

The main platform used and emphasized is Discord

**Hack.init()**

This proposal is extremely detailed. To the point where they have an emergency evacuation plan included. I just think their Table of Contents is cool lol.https://2017.hackinit.org/s/doc/Program-Prospectus.pdf**
