Goodbye Good Bye

Goodbye Good Bye

Dear Disappointed,

We're sorry to hear you missed the Hello Sailor concerts, although a total of two thousand other people didn't. (The Union Hall was sold out).

The advertising campaign was split into two parts: — a large article in Salient the week before, — handbills in the cafe and at Sasracs, — posters around varsity. Although as soon as the posters went up they seemed to disappear. On subsequent re-postering trips it was necessary to deface the posters so that they might remain on the walls. We have learned — next time it will be a very ugly poster. So there.

For the Opera House concert there was newspaper and radio advertising in full force, plus posters plastered on all available surfaces.

With such a campaign it would appear that to have missed the concerts you must have your eyes and ears shut. Any help with publicity, ideas for making it more effective, or constructive comment on what went wrong would be recieve d with interest.
