CULCHETH Players have used new marketing tools to try and boost audiences for their forthcoming panto – free hot mulled punch and mince pies!
The goodies were on offer on Victorian Day – and the group hopes they will result in more people attending Jack and Beanstalk at Culcheth Sports Club next month.
Chairman Steve Beech said: “Over the past few years the numbers of people who attend our performances have fallen.
“Obviously the current financial climate does not help but after the group attended the Victorian Day to promote the panto, winning punters over with free hot mulled punch and mince pies, we found that a large part of the Culcheth community did not even know of our existence.”
The group hopes that raising its profile in the community will mean bigger audiences.
Members have also commissioned a new logo to create a new brand and re-launched their website, which is now more interactive, withlinks to its Facebook and Twitter pages to make it more informative.
Mr Beech said: “It also gives information on the group’s past history. You can look at past production posters, photos and video clips along with the availability now to book tickets for performances on line.”
New members are also needed for both acting and backstage roles.
The panto will run from Friday February 22 to Sunday February 24 and all tickets are £6.
