Posters and flyers again will be placed around the target market such as London Road, Skate board shops and most importantly Universities. The posters will be very basic image which is agreed on but needs to be finalised along with a unique strapline such as ‘wanted’ (for arrest) or a ‘Birthday theme’ again which needs to be confirmed.
