Today we held a promotional event for Roger Phillips' forthcoming outside broadcast in Sankey. As discussed in an earlier blog, we have already successfully held one of these events in Ainsdale last month. The purpose of today was to raise awareness of the event to ensure that the forthcoming event was well attended. The BBC Bus was taken to Sankey and parked in a central location for the day.
The primary objective was to engage with members of the public and to invite them along.
Many passing members of the public were curious about why the bus was there and ventured aboard to talk with us. We also had promotional merchandise on board the bus which was generously distributed to members of the public.
We also visited (on foot) a number local churches, shops and community centres who were very interested and agreed to display promotional posters within their premises.
Overall I feel that today was very successful having generated a lot of interest and awareness.
I developed my interpersonal and communication skills by engaging with members of the public and local businesses. It was essential to be enthusiastic about the event and also to be able to accurately answer specific questions regarding the event when asked.
