Top Five Ways To Use Social Media For Event Promotion by HessConnect

Top 5 Ways You Can Use Social Media to Promote an Event Exponentially!

imageCREATE VIDEO PEOPLE WILL SHARE

Because events take place in person, they engage the senses in a way online content cannot. Creating stellar video with great visuals and sounds helps drive people to your event and it also increases the chances people will share news of the event with their friends.

 

imageGIVE AWAY TICKETS TO CREATE BUZZ

Nothing motives people more than that opportunity to win something free. Give away a ticket or two for your event to really amp up the buzz. Contests provide a rapid way to generate interest in your event – especially if you have the right prizes. Ask us how to run contests through any of your online platforms.

 

imageCREATE A TWEET FOR ATTENDEES

If people are excited about attending your event, ask them to click a button and tell their friends about it. This is something easy that you can place on the “Thanks for Registering” page. Contact us for the code to customize a tweet and be sure to customize the “tweet text.”

A facebook event listing provides another easy way for attendees to share your event with their friends. Each time someone shares that they are attending your event creates the potential to drive more people to your Facebook Page. A Facebook Page is also a channel for asking questions, providing an alternate means of customers service. Remember to also @tag event names in your Facebook Page updates.

Chances are you have great insight within the minds of your event speakers. Why not pool that knowledge into a great blog post. Ask experts to contribute a short writeup on their favorite tips, tools or ideas on a specific topic. This is a great way to involve the experts while offering up ongoing exposure for your presenters.
