Positive PR	The Spring Living Fair is a very attractive story in the eyes of the media. The story presented - young student volunteers supporting local sustainable entrepreneurs within the community – will resonate deeply with a whole range of media. This will support our Public Relations related awareness efforts.
Exposure	Promotions for the event will be targeting approximately 100,000 young and aware households within Vancouver. The marketing mix will include the use of various channels. Mass media such as local radio and television will be leveraged to raise awareness. Unconventional methods including, street teams, online and social networking mediums will be used to build interest. Promotional goods will be distributed the day-of in order to continue to build the relationship with the community.

This result’s in comparably higher value per dollar spent - which leads to increased positive perception throughout the community as apposed to other mediums.
