Have you l looked at the forums at themagiccafe.com ?

I was reading a number of posts on this topic. It seems like marketing magicians to schools and marketing hypnotist have many similarities. Postcards postcards postcards. The trick seems to be finding the names of the various clubs and the officers, administrators. Many feel general mailings to titles get lost. 

The section just for hypnotists has posts on this also.

Hi Jimmy,  The information Brian gave you is right on the money. Find the names of the mothers who are in charge of various groups and relentlesly send them emails and post cards.  Good Luck, Don

Thanks Don & Brian...

Ive been postcarding but your right... they are doing nothing but emptying my bank account.

Im having a heck of a time trying contact or get information about anyone involved with school functions.

How are you digging for these groups/organizers?  Do you cold call every school?

Hi Jimmy I have a free  stage hypnosis class here at HypnoThoughts. This is from that site:

If you  want to book a high school show there are two very easy ways to do this. Some states have a book that list all the high schools in your state.  Call or email your state capital and ask for a list of all the public schools. Some schools are listed online and all you do is a Google search for high schools + your county and state. Once you have a list of schools make a flyer or post card and send it to the school. For grad night shows you should put "Attention Grad Night Committee" in the address.  Send out as many as possible and make sure your phone number and web site are clearly visibly on the flyer. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Thanks James,

I should have mentioned I live in Canada and am marketing in Canada .

We dont have grad nights in Ontario but schools do a lot of fundraisers and assemblies

Asembly Post Cards are going to Student Activities Council

 

The problem is trying to track down "what" fundraisers the schools are doing.

Have you had any luck addressing them to Principles?

 

I appreciate the advice James!

Jimmy send them to the schools and put Attention: School Events Manager in the second line of the address label. That way they know who it's for. I use this for school assembly show.

I do not believe in cold calling to be honest or sending post cards because just like junk mail you get blocked or thrown in the trash, every now and again you get lucky. Try www.sendoutcards.com a great way to send the school decision make a birthday card which includes your hypnosis video promo or attending National school conventions help too
