Revision as of 12:10, 2 January 2011
Publicity
Media coverage
- Blog coverage:
- I'll get on to the Londonist and Makezine to write a blog post nearer the time (2-3 weeks?). We got a really good response from them in the past. --Teabot
- Also try the Thingiverse blog - could link to our things
- Special guest appearance: London Hackspace visitor Cory Doctorow in his capacity as the author of 'Makers' - cape and goggles optional - perhaps cutting a ribbon cable to open the new unit.
- We've received a little interest from mainstream media in the past. Should we approach these organisations to try and get some coverage? Perhaps even more relevant now given the 'siliconroundabout' hype.
Advertising
- Is it worth buying some online ads? We tried Facebook last time - was it a success? I have a free Google Adwords voucher if that is of any use --Teabot
- Flyers in local hardware stores
Demonstrations
- Would be nice to have some kind of project display area to showcase what kind of things are done at the space. Projects with immediate appeal:
- Anything Kinect related
- The Quadcopter build
- Lasercut stuff - There have been some beautiful builds lately: puzzle box, Tetris/Mario pieces etc.
- 3D printed stuff - some members are building RepRaps currently?
Promotional materials
- Free Hackspace keyrings?
Food & drink
- Licensed bar
- Unusual beers
