Dottie Lux, producer of Red Hots Burlesque, stars in Burlesque and Why! I was asked to help promote Burlesque and WHY? A theatre production that goes beyond the bump and grind and gets to the nitty, gritty facts behind a group of dancers who reveal their inner workings and reasons to their dance. From their website, "The average American conjectures many reasons why a woman takes her clothes off on stage, but rarely gets the opportunity to ask her. In Red Hots Burlesque’s first stage show Burlesque and Why!, an intimate cast of Red Hots’ star performers will get even closer to you with a behind-the-curtain storytelling stage show. Over the first weekend in August this cast of diverse women will bare their stories, addressing the gamut of sex work, body image, sexualization and more."

I have a bachelors degree in marketing, international trade to be exact, with an emphasis on fashion. I marketed our Mad Women show at the Mojo Theatre like crazy and the show was fantastic! You can see some photos here.
Anyway, my friend Dottie, asked for some help and I think it would be important to share with you as well, what I shared with them. I've been re-learning marketing for the internet world. When I got my degree, the web was just taking off and Amazon was only a jungle in South America.
Here's some of the best tips I gave her and some links to study further if you wish to delve deeper into the marketing world. Now I'm giving it away... but if you want to send me something in exchange for this info, I would great appreciate it if you bought tickets to our next show: The All Male Revue!
Buy tickets here!
First, ask yourself these questions.
Now get busy.
