Why you need to market your event - and why you should hire MBD Marketing & Events to do so!1/22/2023
A good event attracts visitors, a great event draws a crowd. Marketing and events, while completely different concepts, go hand in hand. What is event marketing? When it comes to company or corporate events, event marketing is the term used to describe any event where a company’s product or service is promoted. Marketing events can be anything from a small gathering of like minded customers/followers, to a large scale industry convention. These events can be live and in-person, or held online, like webinars and meetings. Any event where you can showcase your product or service can be promoted through event marketing. This marketing campaign is built much like any other campaign - with clear goals, strategy, and a timeline that begins well before the event and includes follow up outreach after the event. This same structure can also be applied to any community gathering or large scale event. Why you need to consider event marketing in your plans The main goal of any event - whether it’s for business or fun - is to bring people together. Event awareness is key. If you are planning a business or organizational event, including event marketing into your plans will help you:
Most importantly, event marketing allows you to build strong, in-person, relationships and trust with current and prospective customers. Business events help engage customers on a personal level. Trends in event marketing There are numerous studies out there that provide statistics proving why event marketing should be part of your company’s general marketing strategy. In a world that continues to focus more and more on digital advertising, emails, and online content, event marketing offers a personal touch that many customers are craving.
How to incorporate event marketing into your overall strategy Even though we feel event marketing is more successful than any digital advertising campaign, in terms of reaching current and potential customers, we don’t suggest ignoring your digital marketing channels when it comes to event promotions. Social media and email campaigns are great tools for event promotions. Scheduling your event on an online community calendar, such as a local chamber calendar of events, is a great way to connect with other businesses and customers in the greater community. Social media is a great tool for pre and post event promotions and wrap up. Create event hashtags to promote on social media. Schedule posts to build up excitement for your event. Create engaging and exciting visuals to share a few weeks before your event, and to thank guests and partners following the event. Promote your event in relevant LinkedIn or Facebook groups. The possibilities are endless! Create a messaging campaign for your social media and online channels that promotes the event, allows you to tag event partners and vendors (a super easy way to increase the size of your audience), and thank customers and event attendees afterwards.
