Promote Hypergrid events
Plan for event promotion at the Event Venue of the Virtual Worlds Fair. Performers, agents, venues, event managers and outfitters are invited to place kiosks promoting their offerings. Instructions are given as to how to get authority to place the kiosk and where.

Promotional kiosk design
What is a promotional kiosk?
- A single object. Portable and replicable.
- Shows its story outside where everyone can see at a glance.
- Tells its whole story briefly.
- Provides links to more of the story.
What's in a promotional kiosk?
- Call to the target audience: picture/graphic and/or catch phrase.
- Be sure the target audience will know you are calling to them.
- Promotional content: Why your target audience should be interested.
- Pictures or web links to sample content or previous work.
- Follow me links: blogs, fan groups.
- Action links: How people can get what you offer.
- Links may be web links, HG addresses, or Landmarks.
- Gift to keep: Gift gives links on click.
- Contents embedded in notecards can't be accessed on other grids.
- Kiosk should be phantom unless it has to be solid.
- You probably want to make kiosk full-bright.
Kiosks at the VWF venue
Clusters of kiosks
- Clusters are intended to help visitors find what they are looking for.
- Promotion: instruction, web links to instruction, talent agents/agencies
- Regular events and venues: location, schedule, calendars.
- Special events: links to web sites that list these, calendars.
- Outfitters: avatars, instruments: Links to market place and stores.
- Music streaming help: Instructions and servers
- Available talent: Singers, musicians, comedy acts, game shows.
Kiosk placement
- To place a kiosk, you have to be a member of the managing group.
- The managing group is FWV Eventers in OpenSim.Life
- For an invitation to the managing group, contact:
- Selby Evans, Kitely
- Jamie Jordan, OpenSim.Life
- SingerGirl Mode. OpenSim.Life
- Bill Blight. OpenSim.Life
- The Entertainment Venue is a 2x2, so plenty of room.
- The center is at 256x256.
- For the present, we will not assign areas to exhibitors.
- There will be one builder group with rez authority in the build areas.
- Placement will be on the honor system for now. I hope it can stay that way.
- Tall Kiosks okay but need to be farther from center.
