Be honest now, you just got off Facebook, didn’t you? There is nothing to be ashamed about. We are all hooked to different social media platforms, in some way or the other. And smartphones have nurtured our obsessions. Social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter or Instagram are just a click away. Plus, the handy apps make them easier to use. Today, you don’t even have to open your laptops to go online. One click, and the job’s done.

With Facebook literally connecting us all, event management and ticketing has become rather simpler. Facebook helps you reach out to more and more potential customers and thus, that automatically increases your ticket sales. Let’s see how you can optimize your effects:

  • Make sure you create an event page on Facebook. An event page would contain relevant details about the event, like the date and the venue. That way, people can check out your event and let you know if they are interested or not. Also, interested goers can share the event link with their friends. This helps publicize your event. As your event picks, so do your ticket sales.
  • Track your users. Let’s say someone lists your event as interested. Your next step would be to lure him or her in. Now that you know their interests, you could keep reminding him or her about the event and even resort to multi-channel marketing. Increasing the frequency of reminders will surely catch the attention of the event goer, and he or she might just buy the ticket!
  • Improve your search options. If an interested customer has heard about your event but is unable to locate the event page on Facebook, you lose out on event attendees. Your events shouldn’t be hard to find. The marketing campaign should be so extensive that entering a few keywords should be enough to pinpoint your events. We recommend the use of hashtags too. These are useful if you are searching for something that is already trending.
  • Event attendees want something that immediately piques their interest and makes them want to take a step. Your Facebook events should be attractive and appealing enough. Use images. Use catchy and fun headlines. Go for interesting captions. Do whatever it takes to draw the customers to your event page and to your event ticket selling websites. Marketing is a game; it’s all about how you lure in the maximum number of customers.

Facebook, today, is one of the largest platforms for event promotions, paid and otherwise. So come on, join the wagon!

The kind of social media overdose we are dealing with today, EVERYTHING has to go up on Facebook, even your dog’s first bark anniversary. Likewise, everything has to be tweeted about, too. And the civilian is not the only one who’s affected by this social media wave. Right from politicians to celebrities think Facebook and Twitter are the best channels to let their followers know what they’ve been up to, so as to establish a connection between them and the common public. Amidst all this, if you’re still relying on flyers and banners to do the promotional job for your events, you’re a bigger bimbo than the cheerleader who’s celebrating her first tweet anniversary on Facebook!

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.
