Promoting the hybrid events

Building a website

You can begin promoting your event by making a dedicated website for your event. This webpage will act as the gateway to your event.

This website may contain information like date, time, speakers, guests, and so on. The CTR will depend on the content and the appearance of the website.

Keywords for better SEO

To get more reach on the internet, you can optimize your website for a better ranking on the search engine. But how will you do this? The answer is keywords! You need to search for popular keywords regarding the event. And then use these keywords in your website to make it rank higher. But you need to be careful while doing this. Because too many keywords can backfire and your website may rank lower than the previous position. And too few keywords won’t do much help. So use the appropriate amount of keywords.

Email marketing

Email marketing is one of the favorite marketing techniques of digital marketers. And this because of the results that this technique provides. You can make a list of your contact’s email. And use this list to share the newsletter, latest updates, and other information in the form of an email with them. These emails will attract the attention of many people. And these people will come across your event or website. Hence, getting potential attendees for your event. Send these emails regularly to keep relevant people interested in your event. Also, these emails will act as a reminder to attend your event.

Event teaser video

Another effective way to create the hype around your event is by making a teaser video. You can share this teaser on all the marketing channels to get the attention of the maximum number of people. Also, this teaser video needs to be appealing because you will introduce your event with video to many new people. So don’t forget to include crucial information about your event. Like what is your event about? And what are the date, timing, and duration of your event? Or who will be the guest at your event? And so on.

Social Media Marketing

Today the fastest way to make anything popular is by sharing it on social media. And once anything goes viral on social media, it can be viewed by millions of people in a few days. So if you really want to market your event, use social media. But before you start posting on social media, you need to understand a few things about it. First, the type of content supported on each social media platform. And the current trends on these platforms. So make a strategy considering these factors to promote your event on social media. Apart from this, you can also collaborate with social media influencers.

YouTube Marketing

YouTube is the second largest search engine on this planet, right after Google. Not only this, it was the earliest platform dedicated to video sharing.

You can upload videos related to the event. It can be a teaser video or message from the guest, speakers, or sponsors. So upload regularly on YouTube, just like social media, to maintain the engagement level.

Ask sponsors to promote the event

Apart from all the marketing channels, you should ask your sponsors to spread the word about your event. This will work in two ways. First, they promote your event to the people they know – family, friends, and social media followers. And secondly, they will feel valued and part of the marketing strategy. So involve your sponsors in marketing. And get access to their audience. Also, ask them to upload videos and posts on their social media accounts and Youtube channels. This will make your event visible to a broader audience.

Self-promotion of speakers

Since the speakers at your event have their own peer group and following, ask them to promote themselves. Tell them to tell everybody they know that they are going to address at your event. They can inform their family, friends, and colleagues. Also, share this information with their followers on social media. And post information about the event like the time of their own slot and so on. By using this, your event will get noticed by the people who are a fan or know the speakers at your event.

Vlog of the event
