If your campus has a centralized events calendar, it can be helpful to put your workshops on there to broaden the audience.
Another thing to look at is if your campus has advertising kiosks (such as in your student center or specific buildings). I have created a quick graphic in PowerPoint and asked whoever manages them to include it in the rotation if possible. If you go this route, make sure you have a nice short URL or a QR code to easily direct people for more information.

We use that as last resort though.

Hi All, This is a little out of the normal discuss, but seeing that we are in constant decline with workshop sign-ups it can only mean that our advertising is not up to standard. What would you say is the best platform to advertise other that the usual twitter, emails, etc. Regards Martin The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
