6 Marketing Tips for School & Team Fundraising -- Silicon Valley Style

6 Marketing Tips for School & Team Fundraising -- Silicon Valley Style

Last weekend I attended a high school music fundraiser and it was one of the BEST Fundraisers I’ve ever attended. The event had four fantastic bands from Los Angeles that each drove 3 hours to get here.  Between sets, student played solos/duets on a side stage.  The talent was phenomenal!  These bands were early versions of Green Day or The Cult, who play major LA clubs like The Voodoo Lounge and Whisky A Go-Go!  And here they were, volunteering their time to help our local High School Band!

There was only one problem -- hardly anyone showed up.  In fact, I didn’t even show up. Why?  Because I had no idea it was so legit.  I expected the same old local bands, playing the same old local music fest.

Luckily my wife texted me with, "Get down here now!" And when I did, the place was mostly empty. Maybe 125 people.  

Who knew?  Precisely – WHO KNEW?!
