Ashkenaz Publicity

As a supplement to efforts made by the artists and promoters, Ashkenaz does the following to publicize our shows:

  • 3000 print calendars are distributed monthly to our patrons and the community at large
  • weekly strip ad is run in the East Bay Express
  • show and artist info is posted on our web site calendar; feel free to email a photo and/or description to Susan at ashkenaz.com if you have materials you would like to see here
  • weekly emails are sent to approximately 3200 subscribers, including targetted lists for most genres
  • shows are promoted through our Facebook page - come befriend us at www.facebook.com/ashkenazberkeley
  • our monthly calendar appears in all local publications that have free listings, including: Berkeley Daily Planet, Contra Costa Times, East Bay Express, SF Bay Guardian, SF Chronicle, and the East Bay Daily News.
  • several 11x17 posters are printed for every show, which are posted around the club about 2 weeks in advance; if you have a generic poster, or graphics you would like used, please send them to susan at ashkenaz.com
  • your CD will be played in the club in the weeks preceding your show - please make sure we have a current recording!

    At our discretion, Ashkenaz also posts some shows to websites such as www.jambase.com and www.ireggae.com, organizes ticket giveaways on radio stations (KALX, KPFA, KALW), and sends out press releases for selected events.

    If you would like us to print extra posters for you to put up around the community, please contact Susan Pleck at susan at ashkenaz.com. The expense for this will be deducted from the door on the night of your show.
