How to Promote Click Happy in your region:

First of all, thank you so much for agreeing to collaborate with us on bringing Click Happy to your region.

There is so much that we want to share with your youth but as we all know getting them to activities that are new can sometimes be challenging.

Here are somethings we have found that have helped in the past.

Where to market the workshop:

• Schools
  • posters
  • links to the clickhappy.org/live page for their newsletter
  • ask the art teacher to shoulder tap their most talented young artists
    • Highschool years 9-11 can't yet take photography so this course will give them a leg up.  Best for talented visual artists.
    • Highschool years 12-13 might be swamped with their NCEA boards but this will give them extra help.
    • Ages 10+ for young stand out creative kids, or also those with a social conscience as CLick Happy is a leadership development program for young creative activists as well as being a straight photography course.
• Facebook
  • Your page
  • Local community pages (we find these get lots of buy-in)
    • if you haven't already joined community pages please do.  This is free advertising and gets so much traction for this project and any future ones you are offering.
    • Suggest people tag families with creative kids.  (we have had this go viral from that in the past).
    • Our suggestion is to post with a different photo and put a new one up about every other day for a couple of weeks prior to our arrival this will hit as many people as possible if they will let you post like this.  The rule is that most people will need to see something 7 times before they take action and that may not even be the case now a days.
• Your local camera shops or clubs - let them know we are coming and give a poster.
• Youth Organizations (their kids learn a new skill) - This benefits them because their youth will be better able to showcase what their organization is doing.
• Local charities who have young volunteers - Same reason as above.
• Homeschoolers - always looking for new ways to push creativity.
• anyone else you can think of - (please let us know so we can add it to the list)
