The Next 3 Event Promotion Meme
I was reading my friend Julius’ event manager blog again recently to pick up some inspiration. It’s always full of great ideas for event promotion and management. Anyway, he had this slide deck embedded from SideShare with some innovative ideas for how to promote an event offline. I hope Julius you don’t mind if I share it here too, but also try to build on your 15 with a few The Next 3 Event Promotion Meme …
Here are my Next 3 ideas:
1. Contact journalists writing about topics related to your event and ask if they would like a press pass
2. Create a thought leadership background piece and pitch it as a guest post for related blogs
3. Call your top five customers and ask them if they know of anyone else who might like to attend
I would also like to throw down the Gauntlet to some other bloggers to see if we can grow this list to something really useful…
Raxraxrax – I know Rax can put together a good event, having worked on Smirnoff’s sponsorship of the London Bloggers Meetup with him. But I wonder if he could share some pearls of wisdom?
Peter Marshall – Peter holds regular exhibitions of his photographic work and will no doubt have a wealth of experience in attracting an audience. Peter, any thoughts?
Mecca – responsible for all sorts of social media events and shenanigans, I wonder if we can tempt Mecca into joining our meme with a few ideas for inspiration..?

Actually, I’ve never heard about promotion offline, so your tip is a nice example. You’ve done really great piece of job!
I think you are right. There are more people who are offline then those who are online. So we are missing on a huge list of buyers who do not use internet for purchases. Thanks for the ideas and info.
Yeah, I noticed that most of the time, offline event promotions are overlooked by organizers; hence, they missed some potential contacts who might turn to be valuable assets in their network. This is indeed a very good tip for online event organizers.
Nice post. All the links attached are good but event manager blog is excellent. Thank you for sharing this.
Your three are as good as Julius’ (and should definately up the list!). I hope Rax, Peter and Mecca also contribute to the meme! Very nice!

Hello,
It’s great do event by offline because event is practical knowledge to know what the people thinking and we can discuss with them face to face. And we can also get the idea from the people.
I think most of us need to unplug for a while, these are good ideas.
invaluable tips. Thanks a lot. Will definately help out.

Working from home is a great opportunity! I cant wait until they move government, economics, wall street, and stock exchange work to the house! Some of them they already have (stock exchange)!
I echo what one commenter said: you have be careful what you link out to. With a billion internet sites, Google is looking for reasons to filter out yours.
they could be very useful for the event’s success.
Great list! Thank you so much for sharing.

I would have a contest that has a great reward, one that is very appealing. The catch however is that those who enter the contest will hear who the winner is at the event and must be in attendance.
thanks for those great ideas, your blog has been bookmarked. Keep up the good work.
Interesting ideas, I must really say. Thanks for sharing
Some great tips, thanks for sharing. In particular, I love the tip featuring the journalist.
These three are awesome and just try these and see the result.
We IMs sometimes tend to forget that there is an outside world and that it can be good for our business. Good you put those advices here!
you ideas are good, I hope I would make the most of them.
Meme’s can be fun, but sometimes they can be annoying too, hehe.
Interesting ideas, but promoting a blog offline seems like to much work for little return.
Great resource. Your ideas are good too.

so, I wanted to add that,
Some event can suffer from an excessive promotion, therefore it´s sometimes it remins exclusive, if it is a quality event.
Quality is alongterm strategy, so there are things to watch out, using all those tips can create an excessive communication making it too popular ar reluctant for some persons!
anyway, good blog, good post also, but …
I will print this one (hope you dont mind it, ill give credit to you dude). I will share this to our team so we can have other unique ways of promoting our events.
Thanks a lot.!
Contacting journalist is never anything easy as I’ve noted in the past..
Marketing for personal injury laywers and attorneys, how to market your practice ?I am a personal injury lawyer currently working for a company, but I am interested in starting my own practice, how should I go about marketing my personal injury practice ?
These three are awesome and just try these and see the result.
These are my tips:
Get published in press, have spokesmen, give out promotion products and get web presence through related forums and blogs.

Networking with sports clubs who have contacts with olympic medal winners can be a great way of getting a spokesperson and press coverage.
Great article. You’ve got some good ideas there. contacting journalist would be a good idea. The exposure will be really good.
You can also find out which radio & TV stations do public service announcements or community event announcements and take advantages of
A great idea is to make the whole thing a theme from start to finish from your color choice, your advertising package, your local promotion your television promotion newspaper radio displays banners brochure stands etc. Make sure everything works well together it is a big job planning an event from scratch and there are so many things to take into account. I wish anyone who is taking on these kinds of projects the best of luck. One more important point is to make sure the people you are working with are competent enough to delegate otherwise the job will never end.
This a good example for social media marketing and I hope it convinces many others to see the potentials of social media marketing. Many people still print flyers
Event marketing online is a very powerful and usually free method of getting the word out fast. I have already been using event sites , some other ideas would be coupon sites,promo codes, and other sales incentives that would entice a customer to buy or whatever your CTA is.
Great ideas you have there, contacting journalists is a good idea but could prove difficult to do.
Fantastic tips, any event organiser should take note of those.

Thanks for the tips. i am just in the process of organising an offline event myself and will be using some of these ideas to encourage it to be a success.
Would love to see how these methods work.. I personally feel that the internet is one of the greatest methods of advertising an event. However, one shouldnt forget about offline methods. I think that the joining of the two can be very powerful. Good post!
Your post is very interesting as well as it is very useful. Posting in net can be very beneficial to all. Posting huge information and services in the net can be useful to all, it requires time and effort. But still you did a great job.
This article has really got some wonderful ideas to attract customers to the products. I usually write letters to “prospect corporations” - public relations contact person to get attention.
