This means digital marketers have new opportunities to get more out of events with an elaborate strategy and the right tools &#8211; on the right platforms.<\/p>\n<p>It is not enough anymore to just advertise for the event before it occurs and then leave the crowd to enjoy themselves. Today\u2019s generation demands that the event be covered throughout its duration and continue to give updates after it is over.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how you can proceed with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/blog\/how-to-get-more-people-to-event\/\">the ultimate coverage of the event<\/a><\/strong>, to leverage the benefits that Social Media Marketing has to offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEFORE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-447 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/hashtag-01-300x300.png\" alt=\"hashtag\" width=\"135\" height=\"126\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">1. Create A Unique Hashtag<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nA vital element to track all the information, social media interactions, promotions, audience engagement, etc. Try to keep the hashtag short and sweet, but at the same time unique and catchy. This Hashtag should be used on each and every one of your social media posts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/694-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"fool proof promotion plan\" width=\"180\" height=\"161\" \/><strong style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2. A Fool-Proof Promotion Plan<\/strong><br \/>\nThe first step to creating a good <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/digital-marketing\/social-media-marketing\">Social Media promotion<\/a><\/strong> plan would be to identify the platforms that work best for you. Each platform has its own qualities that you can use to your advantage.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>3. Use Targeted Ads<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIdentify your audience. Create Facebook Ads or boost existing posts to a targeted audience. Introduce them to the existence of your event and interest them enough to make them want to attend it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>4. Promote Your Social Media Offline<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nFor businesses trying to reach an audience that rarely uses Social Media, it is important to guide them to your Social Media handles with the help of some offline marketing &#8211; fliers, hoardings, and\/or any other methods that are effective and fit into your budget.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>5. Host Campaigns<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nCampaigns are an amazing tactic to get people to participate on your Social Media pages. Organizing fun and interactive contest with a prize such as discount vouchers or free tickets is the best way to do this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DURING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-458 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/219079-P1BBTS-579-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"live updates on social media\" width=\"287\" height=\"274\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>1. Keep The Live Updates Flowing<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nLive updates in the form of posts at regular intervals or live Instagram stories work really well to keep the attendees informed about the highlights of the event.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>2. On-site Promotions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nKeep small but entertaining events on-site. This will surely create FOMO for all the non-attendees, who will try to make it for the event the next time it happens (if it is a recurring event). You could incentivize participation with freebies and vouchers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Business4-149x300.jpg\" alt=\"doubts and concerns\" width=\"147\" height=\"250\" \/><strong style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">3. Address Attendees\u2019 Doubts and Concerns<\/strong><br \/>\nMaintain a high standard of engagement throughout the event. Keep a track of all the attendees\u2019 posts regarding the event (by tracking the posts with the official hashtag). Try to reply to all the concerns or questions your attendees might have.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>4. Display Social Media Posts At Venue<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAn incentive to get more social media coverage on the pages of the attendees is to display their posts at random on a screen at the venue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AFTER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>1. Post-Event Narrative<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOrganize your attendees\u2019 favorite moments in a chronological order to narrate the event through the eyes of the audience. Post this as a video or a series of posts on your social media handles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-448 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/testimonial-01-300x300.png\" alt=\"testimonials\" width=\"275\" height=\"172\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>2. Testimonials<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAsk your attendees to rate your event. Ask them what they loved the most about your event, or about their overall experience. Post these on your event\u2019s Social Media handles.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>3. Post-On-Site Pictures<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nPost a lot of pictures of the event, clicked by professional photographers. Try to post candids of the attendees enjoying the event. Post pictures of anything and everything interesting that took place.<\/p>\n<p>To determine the success of your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3mindsdigital.com\/digital-marketing\/social-media-marketing\">Social Media Marketing<\/a><\/strong> efforts, analyze the amount of engagement your pages received, the number of mentions on your attendees\u2019 profiles, and the impact that was created on the non-attendees.
