Printed Publicity Tips

1. Include your name, the position you are running for and a photo in a prominent position.

2. Make a list of reasons why you’re running for this position and choose the 2 or 3 best ones. Make sure you research these properly before you use them.

3. Use these 2 or 3 points as the basis of your manifesto.

4. Ensure the manifesto is properly spaced and in a legible font. Avoid using CAPITALS.

5. Find out whether the manifesto will be in colour or black and white. Most of the time your publicity will be photocopied so make sure you don’t rely on colour.

6. Don’t put too much on the page or it will look cluttered.

7. Don’t put text over photos as this can be difficult to read.

8. Always ensure your publicity meets the guidelines of the union.

9. Ask for a number 2 vote if the voter has a preferred candidate.

10.Make sure you ask them to vote!
