How To Use Events In Your Marketing Strategy

Some people see events as fluff, a nice-to-have, but to do that is to miss out on a huge strategic advantage. Bringing people together accelerates brand affinity, it enables greater buy-in. Facilitating more and more people to speak of you highly and recommend you to others is the nirvana of marketing, it’s what growth and creating positive change is all about. So let’s find out how you can use events in your marketing strategy!

Contingency planning for face-to-face events during Autumn and Winter

Great news yesterday, as Covid19 hit its lowest infection rate since October 2021 in the UK. This is fantastic for events, connections and getting people together. We are in the process of planning in-person events for Winter 2022 – but it would be foolish not to think about our contingency planning, you need to have robust plans in place, should the situation change. 

As part of our event planning we are always doing risk assessments. Part of the risk assessment is contingency planning – considering all the possibilities and options to overcome them. Covid19 contingency planning is just part of the risk assessment and is good practice. 

How to make value central to your event success

It has been said time is the most valuable resource that you have, we all have to choose how we spend it. Time is a pressured element because there seems to be so much to do and not enough time to do it all. If someone chooses to come to your event it has to offer value above their usual tasks. The event needs something that captivates them enough to choose: “I’m going to use my time attending this event instead of doing my usual activities”.  So, let’s look at how to make value central to your event success.

Re-imagining events in the future

Every time there is a global shift – the financial crash of 2008, the fallout from 9/11, the pandemic of 2020, there is an opportunity as humanity evaluates what’s important, where should we be focusing? What’s important to me, my workplace, my business, my family, my people? Our perspective can shift, a little or a lot. What does this mean for events in the future?

Podcasting – What are you listening to?

When we are walking, travelling on a train or driving a car, sitting in a park, in a garden or at the beach, we can choose to listen. Technology enables us to listen to our favourite playlist, radio show, podcast or audio book wherever we are. Multi-tasking (travelling and listening) is one of my favourite things. Getting some extra steps in and learning at the same time!
