Just because it’s a given that prom rolls around every spring doesn't mean you won't have to get the word out and build prom buzz! Posters, flyers, and banners are the tried-and-true solution, but to get students really pumped for prom, try these five ideas.![]() Go digital Digital prom invites allow you to use gorgeous colors without paying a bundle for printing. Use emailed invitations to supplement printed ones. If you've got a Photoshop-savvy prom committee member, have him or her create an amazing JPEG (or even use Flash animation) to send out. It's a great way to make sure that every student saves the date. Dot-com prom Build a website or Facebook page for your school prom. Students can head to your site for all kinds of prom updates: You can post pics, reveal prom court nominees, publicize your fundraisers, and get people excited about your theme. You can also set up online polls via sites like SurveyMonkey.com or PollDaddy.com to get instant student feedback. Button up Everyone loves buttons -- they add a punch to everything from messenger bags to makeup cases. Custom-printed buttons with a cute message are a perfect way to publicize your prom. Keep your text short and sweet: "Future Prom Queen, 5/21/09" and your design simple and bright. Make the idea stick Get a big batch of stickers custom-printed and stick them everywhere to remind students that prom's coming. Backpacks, binders, bumpers...just remember to get permission first (we're trying to have fun here, not vandalize). Remind them sweetly We guarantee sweet success with this one. To get students thinking about the prom, hand out candies imprinted with the date of your prom. There are a lot of sugary options out there, from custom-printed lollipops to Hershey's kisses stamped with stickers, so do your homework before you treat the students.
