*sending posters and flyers to local record stores or lifestyle outlets

*creating an email press release to send to print media and radio and following up to ask about reviews or interviews for your show

*call print media and radio contacts and ask if you can send a physical press kit

*exploring radio possibilities – local programming focusing on shows in town

*sending bulletins to your friends at myspace.com or other related sites
