Brochures and advertising for senior portraits?

Im getting ready to order some brochures. Does anyone have any input on where you actually hand these out. Where do you advertise for senior portraits?
What places can you leave or distribute your brochures?

How about direct mail? Sending the brochures directly to the seniors (and their parents).
I've talked to several very successful photographers who say that this still works really well.

Try advertising on Facebook too. I know this doesn't help on the brochures but word does get around on facebook. You could also had out a brochure to any senior you shoot to held out to their friends.

How do I know who are seniors when sending out direct mail. I don't want to mail my brochure to an older couple who do not have children.

Place flyers on car windows in the school parking lot, place ad in year book, contact principal.

Good Luck

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.
