How to Pack Your Event
27.04.2010.
You have the best event scheduled with all the right elements
in place, now all that is left to do is to promote it so that all the
seats are filled. Though marketing an event may seem like the icing on
the cake, it is actually one of your most important elements. You need
to come up with a game plan to get the word out in a way that will
leave people rushing to get tickets.
With that in mind, one of the first things that you need to decide on
is event ticket
printing. Be sure that you put some thought into this before
confirming your order as the tickets are going to be one of the first
impressions that your audience has of the coming attraction. There are
several services available for ticket printing
so make sure that the company that you choose to go with has plenty of
designs to choose from, a high quality finished product, as well as a
fast turnaround time. Another key element with ticket printing is to
include anti-counterfeit barcodes in order to prevent duplicates from
being printed.
Write a press release and send it to local media outlets such as
televisions stations, radio stations and newspapers. They generally
have a local section where they list these types of events. If yours is
a bigger event, they may even run your story.
If your budget allows, have
round labels printed. If not, print
some yourself. Deliver these to area retailers and restaurants that
appeal to your target audience. If the owner will allow you to, have
some additional fliers printed up to look like your posters and have
them by the register so that customers who are interested in your event
can take the information home with them.
Lastly, utilize email as this is free advertising. Put together an
email blast and send it out to all of your contacts. Ask your friends
to send it out as well. Hopefully your email will be forwarded around
in order to further the buzz about your coming event.
The most important thing that you can do when promoting your event is
to provide a positive, fun feel. Through all of the mentioned outlets
for promotion, be sure that they leave your audience feeling like they
have to go out and buy tickets now before they sell out.
