Where to advertise photography workshops?

[johnembrace]

Hello,
I'm starting to orgainize nature digital photography workshops for the not for profit company i work for (Embrace Cooperation Ltd), to provide a new income for the charitable projects, we run. We have been running free nature photography workshops and they have had lots of interest and always over booked. But as we are now asking people to pay I was wondering if anyone has any advice as where we should advertise either online or via magazines to make your workshops successful. Any advice would be much be welcome.

Thank you John

Hi John.

A few years back I used to teach IT to adults (now retired). During a CertFET teaching course I did one of the projects was to set up a mock workshop, draw up lesson plans and a scheme of work and then show how we could get message out to the people and what we could do to bring them in, eg, time, cost and logistics etc.. There are all the usual places associated with the theme of the workshop that you can advertise and in your case photo mags and web blogs like this are good sources. You could also try your local radio station to see if you can get a free plug. Also photo clubs in your area might be able to get their members interested and maybe you could do a deal with them, like sign up 5 and get one free place. If you are affiliated to the local college you could ask them to let you leaflet photography students or put up a poster or two. Good luck. It's hard work, but extremely rewarding.

All my workshops were successful because I designed them around areas that the student wanted to get deeper into.
