Blog

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..?
