Step 4: Publicity and Marketing

You must set up an event page on the SU website using the online admin tools (all Society/Club execs can access these).  The event can then appear on the SU’s list of forthcoming events, and it provides a channel for people to buy their tickets online.

There are plenty of ways that the Students' Union can help you publicise your events.

All society and sports club promotional material (flyers, and posters etc.) must have the Students’ Union logo displayed on it. It must appear out of the tab and in the bottom right hand corner with no obstuctions around it. Please ensure you use with the grey version or black or white can also be used. If you have any questions about logo positioning, please email marketingdepartment@warwicksu.com

SU Website

You can set up your own internal article to display to your members when they log in by following these steps:

1) Log into the SU website (www.warwicksu.com) and click the ‘Admin’ (cogs) tab;
2) Select your society under ‘Organisations’ (you must be an exec member to do this);
3) Click on ‘News Admin’ and select ‘Add News Article’;
4) Upload all relevant content (images, event description etc) and save.

Note: please make sure the box marked ‘Allow Non-Members to Read’ has been unticked before you save your news article.
