It goes without saying that social media can be a fantastic and highly effective way to promote your event. With the right strategies, you can reach a large audience and get them interested in what you’re doing.
Here are some tips on how to make the most of social media when promoting your event.
Create an Event Page
Creating an event page is one of the first steps to promoting your event on social media. Your page should include all the details of your event such as date, time, location, ticket pricing, etc. Make sure you’re specific with details like street addresses for this Armadale function space, for example, or the exact dollar amount of ticket prices.
You should also include visuals such as photos or videos that will help bring your event to life and make it more visually appealing. Be sure to include links where people can purchase tickets or register for the event if necessary.
Engage with Your Audience
Once you have created an event page, start engaging with your audience by responding to their comments and answering any questions they may have about the event. This will help build relationships with potential customers and show them that you are invested in their experience at your event. Additionally, encourage people to share their experiences at the event through photos or videos, which can then be used for future promotion purposes.
Use Hashtags Wisely
Hashtags are a great way to increase visibility on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter by helping connect users who may have similar interests or who use certain keywords in their posts. Use hashtags relevant to your industry/event when promoting it online so that more people are able to find it and engage with it.
Additionally, create a custom hashtag specifically for your event so that attendees can use it when posting about their experience at the event – this will make it easier for others to find out about the event through social media channels.
Share Content Regularly
Once you have all the basics covered, start sharing content regularly about your event on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. This could include short videos highlighting key features or speakers at the event, behind-the-scenes photos from preparation activities, or interviews with participants who have already attended past events organised by you or similar ones in other cities/countries - the possibilities are endless!
The key here is consistency - try to post something new every day leading up to the big day so that people stay engaged and interested in what’s coming next (and don’t forget the hashtag tip mentioned above!).
