Will this activity/event give us good publicity or directly reach lots of people? If
the answers are no, you should reconsider your plan.
Below we outline a few methods that can be used for events and outreach.
MEETINGS AND DIRECT OUTREACH TO PEOPLE
When organizing a public meeting, you first need to identify your target group and what
financial resources you have. These two factors will determine what type of meeting you
want to organize.
The preparation of public meetings follows a fairly standard checklist:
1.
Determine the target group
2.
Decide the type of meeting to be held
3.
Plan the program
4.
Secure the venue
5.

6.
Brief the speakers
7.
Publicize the event – use posters and other publicity
8.

9.

10. Organize the security and fire marshals
11. Organize the catering
12. Organize the decorations
13. Organize the tables with party information
14. Pay all the accounts
RALLIES
A rally is the most expensive and among the largest of political events and should
primarily be used to motivate already strong party supporters. Rallies are not very useful
for informing or reporting, or for consulting your community or mobilizing new support.
