Marketing & Promoting An Event

Campus Partners

The Communications team can field questions, lend support and offer their services for a wide variety of event support purposes, but you must read through their materials and follow instructions: Print Services, Visual Identity, Publicize Your Event.

Reid Campus Center Table Toppers

Looking to advertise an upcoming event? Consider using the table topper option in the Reid Campus Center.

To use the table toppers you will need to:

1. Print around 50 copies of 4” x 5.5” advertisements on cardstock-weight paper. (Note that this is slightly slimmer than a 1/4 page.)

2. Contact Juli Dunn (dunnjl@whitman.edu) to make arrangements to stuff the table toppers.

3. Find time to stuff them (takes about 30 minutes to stuff the full set of table toppers spread through the building).

This is a great advertising option for events with a specific day and time as the table toppers will be refreshed regularly.
