Event Marketing is crucial to the success of your event. If your event is a trade expo, seminar, or conference, event marketing plays an important role to make it profitable.
In fact, event marketing is the profit center. It is important to know it by heart. Here are some tips to make your event marketing work like a well-oiled machine.
1. Define Your Target Market
Who is your target market? The people that will sponsor and buy your tickets to attend. What problem will your event solve that they are compelled to attend or support?
When you know the answer to this question you can create the right message, and know what marketing mix and promotion mix to use to reach them.
2. Create a Message that Connects
All successful marketing messages came from understanding and listening to your target market.
Your marketing message should connect to them by telling them that their problems will be solved when they attend or support your event. Your message must allow them to see the benefits of spending their time and money on your event.
3. Use Digital Marketing
Yes, need we to say more!
Digital marketing is the new marketing. It gives you the reach and the accuracy to connect to your target market at a speed no one can imagine.
Bill Gates once mentioned if your business is not on the internet you are out of business. So take heed.
4. Use Sales Promotion
As part of the promotion mix, sales promotion gives you the ability to create an instant sale.
Use discounts, freebies, games, and other sales promotion tools to make your offering attractive.
Sales promotion always delivers!
5. Use Email Marketing
Email marketing is a direct marketing tool that allows you to have an effective conversation with your target market.
However, avoid email spamming. Use it sparingly and do not, I repeat, do not email every day!
6. Create a Landing Page
A landing page is your 24/7 store for your target market that wants to know about your event.
Make it user-friendly. Fast to download and all the necessary information about your event are there.
Lastly, always add a call-to-action where they can register immediately. Even better if they can pay on your landing page.
These are the event marketing tips that you can use easily and effectively.
