I am new to PC and hope to find what wording works the best in free ads offered in local small town circulation
Should I primarily emphazie recruitment or stick to booking a party.
Any help in finding key words, would be appreciated
Good Luck to All

Well if the ad is free then maybe you could mention both. I think if I had to pick one I would try to get bookings first. That way at your shows you can mention recruiting.
 
I'd stick with parties if you are new. I think its easier to recruit people at parties.
