It's not too early to start thinking about ad sales for the Heart of Carolina Band Festival! It's a great way to earn Fair Share money and ensure a successful year for the band program. Our most successful salesperson last year managed to earn their entire Fair Share through ad sales!
Attached are a letter describing the ad sales program from this year's HOC Chairperson, Jodi Tolley, and the ad sales form, which can be used to specify the type of ad desired as well as pricing. As noted on the sales form, Meredith Blackwood will be coordinating the ad sales, and you can direct your questions to her. Ads will appear in the HOC program, and be seen by more than 3500 spectators who will attend the event. The ads are one of the most cost effective forms of advertising available to local businesses.
Be sure to take advantage of this great program. Starting now, we have a chance to get ahead of the other programs that will be competing for those ad dollars. For more information, login to the left and check out the Heart of Carolina links.
