   You can do a promo pack for an event the way you do for an individual 
artist,or group, full color For some reason professional looking documents 
make things seem more legit and important,it's seems silly ,but I know it 
works. I know ,a power point presentatiopn.
  Doing a full or partial benefit for a nonprofit can be a way to get help 
with funding ,space promo etc. set up etc. Even letting nonprofits set up 
tables in exchange for promo can really help get people in the door.
ALWAYS put up a mailing list for people to sign,and ask them to sign about 
once per set,like just before break when you remind them of the CDs and 
shwag available for a nominal fee.When you can say -"and we've got nine 
billion names on our mailing list" bookers for venues take you more 
serioulsy.
  Nothing wrong with identifying the number of people you can email promo 
to 
as your mailing list.
