A primary promotional component of the Artists Sunday program is the Artists Sunday Toolkit. Toolkits will be issued to all Artists and Artists Sunday Partner members later in the year. We reference it here frequently on the Artists Sunday web site, but since the kit will not be out until early October, we thought it might be a good idea to discuss what it will include, when it’s released.

The toolkit is a digital packet that includes marketing copy, graphics, logos and more. It’s designed to augment your own marketing and messaging, not replace it. It allows for flexibility and creativity but it also provides a guiding hand so that all Artists Sunday alliance members share the same key, unified message across the country, making for a strong, loud, message that will resonate with consumers.

So what’s included in the Artists Sunday marketing toolkit? Artists Sunday Toolkit includes:

1. 1. * Marketing Strategy Playbook. The playbook for maintaining the integrity of Artists Sunday.
   2. * Spread the Word Checklist. Raise awareness and engagement for the movement.
