Determining your Audience

First things first, you of course need to determine who exactly you’re advertising your event for. What are the social demographics? The social class? The professions range? And so on and so forth. Once you’ve identified this, then you can start thinking more on how you plan to advertise.

Hashtags

It may seem like something so simple, however, people really underestimate the power of using hastags. If your event or company don’t already have one, then make one! And use it at every possible chance you get. Along with related hastags of course.

Collaborate

If possible, consider collaborating with other pages or influencers. It’s a great way to promote and advertise an event to people who may not necessarily ever have come across your account. Plus, other accounts are usually more than happy for that little bit of extra exposure so it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to find someone to partner with.

Ticket Deals and Competitions

We’re all a sucker for some great discounts. Which is why it can be a great incentive to get people invested in your events! Consider hosting photo contests on Instagram or Facebook for people to be in with the chance to win free tickets to your event. Not only will this encourage people to interact with your account and become potential client, its also a way to reach even more people! Nothing gets a company more exposure than word of mouth.

Also on the topic of tickets, add discounted prices for certain bundles. For example, early bird specials, group tickets, VIP tickets, etc. And of course, make sure you ticket host website is easy to buy from and navigate.

Real Photos and Reviews

One thing you want your advertising campaign to be, is real. You don’t want to use stock photos and perfect yet impersonal reviews. You want you future clients to be able to trust you and the services you provide.

So don’t be afraid to use original content. Document all the fun you and your guests had from past events. Ask participants to leave honest reviews and include them on your official websites. It’s the smallest things which can really help your advertising game thrive.

Invest in SEO

For anyone who hasn’t heard of SEO, it is an online tool which allows you to identify key search words and phrases that will allow you to maximise the discoverability of your event on Google search. Yes, the tool may not be free. But it’s well worth the money. In fact, it’s expected that the use of SEO can help boost ticket sales and visibility by up to 10%!

Going Forward

While these are just some of the main ways to advertise your events, there still plenty of other small little things you could do here and there. But that’s entirely up to you. Once you’ve achieve the above mentioned steps, you should be on your way to hosting one of your biggest and most spectacular events!
