Help Us Promote
The 13th Annual View the Cruise Committee will promote the festival; however, it is proven that artists who consistently promote the shows they attend will have the most sales. We will provide you a promotional piece that you can email to your followers, as well as share on social media. We recommend that you promote the show several times a week leading up to the show, then every day the week of the show. You may
want to set up an event on Facebook and personally invite your friends and followers.
