I am shooting a local event / fair that includes a Car and Bike Show and would like some advice. See here (external link) for the event.
My main task is to capture the event so I cannot man a stall or spend lots of time taking bookings. (Here (external link) is the link to last's years shoot)

1. I plan to produce a flyer that people can pick up and that offers a discount to photos of the day (via a coupon on SmugMug), say 20%. People could then order prints of the day, as well as increase my profile in the local area. The flyer would be available at the information desk.
Is this a good strategy?

2. The first 200 car and bike entrants get a bag of goodies and I plan to insert a flyer, for greater exposure. Again, the hope is that car and bike owners would contact me during the day, I would take the photo (which the event organisers want anyway), and allow me to potentially sell images via my website. Again, good strategy?

Attached is a possible design. What are your thoughts on the flyer?


cheers, Paul

I'd imagine you're doing as much as you could, plus I'd make sure to carry some business cards and flyers with you.
