Train Of Hope

lets_get_it_right

Hi
they did us a small news article some weeks ago but we are hoping for a nice feature soon as we need to get this advertised to sell the seats on the train but we really dont want to use what we have raised so far by spending it on adverts!
thank you for the reply.

Check out The Media Trust for details of how to write press releases etc. You have to have a 'story' but getting onto local radio etc can be a good way to go.

Hi
I think social network sites are best left for professionals so you will see in the next few days some mentions on twitter and face book but not by me personally.
Great suggestion though.
We would love to access corporate companies and get some corporate bookings as it is a fantastic dining experience. Plus its all for charity.
thank you for the replies.
I have been orgainising this since last Sepember and it feels as if its close now.
Looking at getting a plane involved for some more wow factor for the day!
regards
