Hi,
I've been making e-flyers (for music events) for about a year now, which are steadily getting better as I learn from my mistakes.
Is anyone else out there making them? A lot of promoters haven't really embraced the idea yet, with many just putting a jpeg of their print flyer onto their website.
I was thinking about maybe gathering together a little collection of the best e-flyers from around the globe in order to promote the format (I'm not sure if format is the best term but you know what I mean). What do you all think?

Just dropped by to say that the amore flyer was neat-o! Love the font. Is jugend coming back in style?

Thanks mate, I think jugendstil is very reminiscent of the kind of vector graphics people are working with today.

Maybe it's a job for the k10k matchmaker...

Jevad:

Do you ever have problems getting it returned? I've sent out a few for myself to other architects, but somehow I got on a SPEWS list and it blocks my IP address. It sucks. They will not respond to any emails I send to them (the SPEWS people) to get my address off the f***in' list! I really hate that. I assume that it blocked all emails that contained html.
Ever experience this?

They don't go out as HTML. The promoters send out a plain text email with a link in. Less intrusive that way. They also live on the front of the site - http://www.sanchopanza.org - apologies for the layo and bushwacka one which was done in a hurry and is a bit shite!

Jevad:
Ah - you're thinking HTML email, but I'm thinking cyber equivalent of paper club / gig flyer....

How would I sell this idea to our clients?
Would I explain them as interactive announcements for there upcoming events? Just that they are online?
Or is it much more?
thanks,

same thing really...e-flyer can be an html email - or no?
please explain!
- mrming0
The promoters I'm working with have basically changed the marketing of their events from offline to online.
They used to keep a mailing list of postal addresses, have print flyers and a short newsletter
made and send it out once every so often.Now they communicate the stuff that was in the newsletter via their site, and run an email list instead of a postal one. When there is an event coming up subscribers are sent a short text email with a link to the e-flyer. The e-flyer is also available on the front of the site in the time coming up to the event.

Jevad:
I guess it is the same thing really. I need to be more specific! What I'm looking for is people who are making interactive promotional pieces (prob in flash / shockwave) for entertainment events (gigs/club nights/exhibitions etc)....

ahh - gotcha....yeah I do a lot of that too...
