How to hold events using social networks

Social media has changed the way users participate in various activities. Immediately after applying to participate, people are looking for affordable ways to be active online. The variety of opportunities available to marketers to communicate and interact with interested audiences is nothing short of exciting. Below are the most effective ways to organize an event that arouses increased public interest:



Creating a Joyful Atmosphere

Since the start of promoting an event on social networks, organizers are given a chance to strengthen their brand position and create a community dedicated to the upcoming event. Use advance information about the event and available digital platforms to attract participants to communicate online.

Hashtags

Hashtags help interested parties become active participants in this conversation. By marking an active event with an appropriate tag, you can constantly exchange information in real time, store posts that will serve as a source of qualitative and quantitative feedback after the event ends.

Helpful advice: make the hashtag as succinct and concise as possible. Twitter, for example, only offers 140 characters. Make sure the tag size meets the established standards. Avoid using exact dates. If the event gains popularity, the hashtag can be reused.

Manage conversations in real time

Studying posts, tweets, and comments posted on social networks helps establish trust with potential clients, provide a unique user experience through timely answers to questions, finding optimal solutions to problems, and providing high-quality customer service.

Push notifications

Enabling Push Notifications for selected social channels brings a lot of benefits. Thus, not a single published post, photo, comment will be left without attention.

Paid posts

Paying for posts on social networks helps increase the number of users who see them. Promoting an event with paid content increases reach, engagement and conversion rates. The result will be more participants and active subscribers. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram have convenient, easy-to-manage tools that allow advertisers to quickly implement paid promotion.

Giving the audience a behind-the-scenes look

People like to feel like they are part of something unique. When organizing an event, familiarize the public with it in advance. Offer user-only content, show exclusive, behind-the-scenes videos using Instagram and Snapchat stories. Short, attractive photos or video materials help create a festive atmosphere and add individuality to the event.

Encouraging active participants

Gone are the days when you could sit quietly and listen to a keynote or presentation. It's time to connect on a deeper, more interactive level. Encourage questioners, comments and feedback using the social tools available to members.

Twitter Poll

Communicating with event participants and resolving important issues via Twitter allows you to collect feedback or opinions from the audience in real time, track important discussions, transferring them into the digital space.

Shared posts

Encourage presenters to create presentations that are worthy of mention on social media. From using hashtags , to encouraging audiences to ask questions on Twitter, to producing slides that are accessible to participants, spending time finding ways to interact with speakers helps create memorable key points.

Facebook Live

It doesn't matter who is present at the event now, it matters who might be there in the future. Use Facebook Live to share snippets of the event with followers who were unable to attend. Thus, users gain the opportunity to gain the missing experience.

Production of visual materials about the event

It all started with a humble photo booth - a place where anyone could take pictures with fun props. There's no denying that photo booths still have their time and place, but photo production services make it possible to instantly post pictures online, drawing more attention to the event.

Geophysical Snapchat filters

Snapchat is capable of instantly capturing an event as it happens. Geo filters are accessible, customizable filters that overlay user Snaps and appear when a user visits a specific location. Anyone who receives a photo or views a story will be able to see the organized event. In this way, the event organizers will be able to induce the syndrome of lost profits among potential future participants.

Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories will allow you to capture an event happening here and now, with the ability to apply filters, add stickers, and create a multimedia story using videos and static images.

From creating visuals and developing marketing strategies to logistics and organizing specialized workshops, communicating in real time and selecting the right channels for the right audience, social media plays a critical role in planning, promoting and executing an amazing event.

Know where your target audience is, tap into popular channels, and create engaging content before, during, and after the event that compels audiences to engage and share their experiences.
