Tis the season to be jolly and tis the season to party party party. I’ve been trawling our site and there is loads of festive fun coming up. If you’ve got an event coming up and you’ve still got quite a few tickets to sell, here are some tips for promoting your event last minute...
PICK UP THE PHONE
Email marketing and promotion on social media is great, but if you want to sell tickets fast, why not just pick up the phone. Speak to people and get them to buy tickets there and then. It’s easier to get people to commit when you speak to them personally.
USE VIDEO
Using a video can be a really effective way to grab people’s attention and get your message across with not a lot of cost and effort. You can use the video on email campaigns, on You Tube, Facebook and Twitter. We’ve all seen how fast a video can go viral on You Tube, if you can create something really popular you could create a buzz in no time.
WHO ATTENDED YOUR PREVIOUS EVENTS?
As well as inviting them to your event, get them to refer your event to a friend. They might be going to your event, but haven’t even considered telling all their friends about it. You could even offer them a commission if they sold enough tickets.
SEND REMINDERS
Once you’ve sent an email out inviting everyone, don’t just leave it there. Pass on to any other Event Organisers you know and get them to send to their database too. Follow up on every email that goes out, preferably with a phone call. Then a few days later send the email out again to anyone you were unable to reach. Repeat every few days leading up until your event.
