HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR EVENTS

Once you have created your presentation or the other details for your events, follow these steps to help you be successful:

STEP 1: Choose a date and time that you figure your target market would be mostly likely to attend.

STEP 3: Create a colourful graphic that represents the topic of the webinar/event (Canva, Adobe, MS 365 or other program).

STEP 4: Create a script to post with the graphic. Include:

  • Brief description of the event using pertinent advertising power words
  • Logistics: Day, date, time, online or physical location
  • Call to action with sense of urgency:
    • “Register now at www….”  
    • “Reserve your spot now…”  
    • “Get your tickets before it’s too late www…..”
    • “There are only 2 days left to get your tickets. Register now at www…..”  “Have you registered yet?”
  • SEO Keywords: The words and phrases consumers would type in Google and other search engines to find information about the topic you will present.
  • Your target market (i.e. Who is the event for?): “This is a great event if you’re looking to buy your first home.
  • Add Hashtags at the end that include “Keywords.”
