1. With over 1.49 billion active monthly users, Facebook houses practically everyone. So, you have the entire world for your audience. For the cherry on top, Facebook offers casino event pages and other strategies to reach out to your target audience using features that are either extremely cheap or completely free.

2. And since we are talking about free, who doesn’t like discounts? From a customer perspective, it’s a tendency to buy anything that comes with an alleged discount or freebies. Early bird discounts and word to mouth deals are the no-risk classics, but you could also try other offers that guarantee maximum participation.

3. A hashtag is the easiest way to create a #buzz. Create a crisp hashtag and use it everywhere, including the website you’re selling tickets on. It’ll register your casino event in the minds of your potential attendees and serve as a gateway when they want to actually register.

4. Getting them interested in the step second to grab their eyeballs. Your landing page should have one amazing image or teaser that gives the general idea about your casino event and aims at captivating the hearts of the audience. If you get them excited about the event, nothing can stop them from buying the tickets. Basically, show them what their money is worth.

5. Once you have their attention, tell them the finer details of what all they’re getting with their tickets. Wherever you’re selling your tickets, make sure the important details and descriptions of your casino event are available to the customers.

6. Use Yapsody’s social media widgets to share your casino events directly on your Facebook and Twitter once you’ve put them up on your Yapsody webpage. This will make sure your customers are updated about your casino events without delays.

7. Seek local media’s attention. Find bloggers, journalists, or shows that are related to the theme of your event or your industry, and request them to mention your casino event on their platforms. Give them the important details about your event – the what, where, when, and how – so that if their followers are interested, it’ll be easier for them to reach you.

8. Set your ticket prices wisely. Make sure the prices are worth whatever your event is offering them. At the same time, don’t keep it too low or you may come off as unworthy.

9. Your ticketing websites are only meant to provide you with a platform to sell tickets, so relying on them to also promote your event effectively would be foolishness. You know your audience better than anyone else, hence, your strategies are bound to work out. Also, emails from a ticketing service may also be regarded as spam by your customers.

10. Yapsody offers you 24/7 help through email and a live chat. You could also drop by at our office and seek our advice or just chill with us. Apart from that, our FAQ section, Support section, and blogs will help you optimize your promotional strategies in order to make your casino event a success.

Well, you’re not to be blamed entirely because definitely, if you haven’t been using the social media strategy to promote your events, it’s just because you aren’t well “updated” about it. Let us do the honors, in that case!

TWIT-BITS OF TWITTER MARKETING

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Twitter? Okay, the blue bird, and? Yeah, 140 characters, and? Oh, come on! If there’s one thing Twitter is so full of, it’s the hashtags! Hashtags are the most effective AND effortless means to promote your event on Twitter (and Facebook, too). All you need to do is come up with a short, witty and crisp hashtag related to your event and throw it around every tweet about your event. If your hashtag is eye-catchy, people will be using it, too, and it’ll soon be a buzz.

Let’s face it – there are very few enthusiasts around twitter who’ll just casually slip in hashtags to your event in their tweets for nothing at all. So, loosen up things on your end and offer a free entry or gift hampers to a lucky user for using your hashtags.

If the event you’re hosting is a big affair, you can level up and commit an entire Twitter account for the event, instead of hashtags. This way, you’ll have a one-stop site for everyone who wishes to know anything about the developments in your event.

Shake up your tweets every now and then! You DO get pissed, don’t you, if your mom keeps reminding you to do the same thing over and over again? Well, your followers will get annoyed, too, if you keep on announcing that your event is coming. Instead, tweet about upcoming events – sponsors, giveaways, online contests – to keep them engaged and entertained.

Lastly, it’s good to ask for retweets, as long as you don’t overdo it, because then you’ll be looked at as if you’re heavily desperate to make this work out.

THERE’S A REASON FACEBOOK HAS ‘EVENTS’ – USE IT!

Status updates and personally pinging friends on Facebook are fine, but when you’re talking about a real event and big promotion, that won’t work. Your statuses are likely to get lost in the stream of profile picture updates, vacation photos and “10 things you never knew about blah” posts. And just how many chat windows are you planning to pop-up to copy-paste-send the same message? Not only is it tedious, but it’s impersonal and has a negative impact.

What you can do is create a Facebook Page for your event, and then create a Facebook Event from that. Creating a Facebook Page has many side-benefits, like:

• You can have a “Like” button on your personal blog or website for the event.
• Anyone can be invited to the Event you create.
• You can rely on the targeted Facebook ads to reach out to non-friends or followers who might be interested in your event.

The key to social media marketing is SHARING. Whatever you do, the progress you make, keep your followers updated on Twitter and Facebook (they being the largest platforms) so that your event doesn’t seem distant to them.
