Printing
Contact your venues directly as they have access to a Fringe preferred print supplier for all your poster and flyer needs.
You will need a print ready .pdf file.

1. Old Town Square

Social Media
Here is a list of FB groups you should join and post in.
Please remember that you should post in Estonian in Estonian groups to make sure you have the best impact, even if your show is in English.
Here an easy sentence to drop into Estonian FB groups
I’m performing at Tallinn Fringe, come check out my show! = Ma esinen Tallinna Fringil, tule chekka mu showd
Or also ask your venue to help with some quick translations. Don’t use Google Translate, it will most probably not be correct and you’ll come across sounding weird.
