How to Promote an Event for Free

Why Promoting is Important

Promoting is the backbone of any company’s success. An event can be hosted spectacularly. But its all for nothing if nobody turns up to appreciate it. Which is why you want to get the word out about your event to as many potential clients as possible. However, we understand that this task is easier said than done. Especially if you’re on a budget. After all, most of the more traditional forms of advertising (ie: Facebook ad and TV ads) always cost a rather steep fee. So, what are some great ways to promote and event for free? Well, we’re about to find out.

How to Promote an Event for Free

French Riviera Parties

We at French Riviera Parties have put together a unique platform which allows service operators like you to broadcast your events. And all with just a few short clicks of a button!

Create your account and select from our three fantastic bundles. For less than 200€, choose from our Platinum or Gold options. Or of course, we offer an equally as good Free Silver package! Promote your events however you want. Uploaded images or teaser trailers. Provide brief or detailed summaries of the services that you offer. Even link your social medias and website! From there, watch as your ticket sales soar!

Ticket Sales & Giveaways

Nothing grabs an audience’s attention like free or discounted offers. Which is why offering ticket bundle sales and giveaways is one of the best ways to get people to interact with your platform and promote an event for free. Consider offering Early Bird Specials, VIP tickets or Group Discounts.

Similarly, giveaways are a popular way to attract potential clients and also promote an event for free. Get followers to like and share about your event to be in with the chance to win free tickets and fantastic prizes! This might also potentially entice clients who might not necessarily have been interested in your event before. After all, we’re all a sucker for a freebie!

Hashtags

People tend to underestimate the power of the hashtag. Not only is it super easy to use, you would be surprised at how much exposure it can renovate for your event. And with 1 billion Instagram users as of 2020, you can bet that your account will be seen by more of a target audience than you could have ever imagine.

Something to keep in mind is that there’s no such thing as too many hashtags. So get tagging and watch your event reach hundreds of thousands of users each day. And all in just a few click of a button!

Newsletters

Nine times out of ten, clients will book for events via their email address. Be sure to keep track of these emails and keep previous clients up to date on future events you intend to host via subscriptions and newsletters. After all, if they were interested in your services once, chances are they’ll be interested again.

Also consider offering special discounts to loyal customers. Its yet another incentive to encourage ticket sales and thereby promote an event for free.

Facebook Events & Pages

Facebook is without a doubt the single most used social media platform in the world. After all, as of 2020, Facebook is estimated to have over 1.69 billion users! So promoting your event here can have a major impact. And one of the best features? Facebook is free to everyone and anyone!

You are free to have as many Facebook pages as you want. So if you offer several different events and services, you’re more than welcome to create a unique page for each one.

What’s more, you can even create public event pages that will let other Facebook users know about upcoming events you’re hosting. If you really want to amplify your audience, then consider sharing your event on other Facebook pages and Facebook groups within your niche. This is undoubtedly going to help get more exposure and thereby promote an event for free.
