SPREAD THE WORD!

Whether you're promoting your own Playday event or spreading the word about the wider campaign, use the official Playday resources for maximum impact.

 

Playday postcard and event poster

You can customise the postcard and event poster either electronically or by hand - here are a few tips to get you started!

 

Customising electronically

If you work for a local authority, ask your communications team to help you produce your event resources. If your organisation doesn't have a dedicated creative team but you have access to some design programmes, it's fairly simple to add your own text and logos. You could even ask around the office to see if there's a budding designer in your midst!

 

Follow these five simple steps:

1. Download the file and save to your computer.

2. Open in programmes including Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and Acrobat Professional.

3. Add your own (and partners') logos and don't forget the details such as where, when, what time and any special instructions.

4. Include some extra text to promote your Playday celebration. Think about what will encourage people to attend.

5. Save as a PDF ready to print at your local printers (why not offer to include their logo in return for free or discounted printing?)

 

If you don’t have access to the necessary computer programmes, you can print the poster, get the children and young people on your planning group involved and enter your event details using pens, paint, stencils and stickers. As well as having lots of fun, your young artists will also get to display their designs across their local community!

Don't forget you can contact us to order free printed copies of the poster and postcard.

Raise the profile of Playday and galvanise others to get involved by spreading the word across your whole community.

As well as displaying the posters where you work, you could ask to put them up in: Libraries, community centres, town halls, doctors’ surgeries, health centres, leisure centres, schools, hospitals, youth clubs, out of school clubs, play settings, church halls, shops, police stations - and anywhere else that will help promote Playday to your local community.

Lots of places also have stands for fliers and other information - so don't forget to take along copies of the Playday postcard too!
