Everyone knows the benefits of flyering for shows. The problem is, there's not a good listing of places in the St. Louis area to flyer. That is, until now. Listed below are places that allow people to post flyers for upcoming events. If you can think of any others that should be listed, by all means ADD 'EM! Thanks.

Hartford Coffee (3974 Hartford St. at Roger)

Local Harvest Grocery (3148 Morganford)

The Royale (3132 S. Kingshighway Blvd.)

KDHX (3504 Magnolia Ave.) (Go during the day so you can post one on the bulletin board in the lobby as well as drop off some for the various programmers you think would like to know about the show.) 

 

MIDTOWN/DOWNTOWN:

 

Saint Louis University (Several flyer kiosks on campus, but they need to be approved and stamped by Student Services. Your best bet is to get a faculty member or student to get them approved, otherwise they'll get taken down.)

 

NORTH COUNTY:

 

Guitar Center (11977 St. Charles Rock Rd.) 

Sound Revolution (7751 N. Lindbergh Blvd. & 10075 Lewis and Clark Blvd.)

 

SOUTH COUNTY:

Guitar Center (9177 Watson Rd.)

 

And, obviously, the venue where the show is taking place. It's usually not a good idea to flyer for a show at a venue where it's not happening. So don't flyer the Creepy Crawl with a show happening at Lemmons, for example.

These are just a few ideas for inexpensive or free self promotion of your band or show. Try to use all or most of these tactics for every show you self promote.  Remember, the more fans you get to the show, the better the chance you'll have of getting booked there again and building a following in St. Louis. Good luck!
