Event Marketing & Event Registration - Urban Chamber 

This presentation will provide a look into using events as a marketing tool, provide some  best practices around promoting the event and go in-depth into best practices for online registration for events.    At the heart of small business marketing are the campaigns that drive action – collections of marketing activities that help a small business or organization to achieve its goals and objectives. One important campaign type that many nonprofits and small businesses have used, but would like to learn more about, revolves around Events. When you run an event you want to make sure that you leave ample time for the promotional activities that will drive your registrations, and you want to create and provide an optimal online registration experience. If you have run events or are considering running events, and you’d like to build on your knowledge of these two important elements of running a successful event, this session is for you.

Attendees of this presentation will learn:

•  Types of events (more than just fundraisers), goals for events, a quick note on charging or not and events as part of the Engagement Marketing cycle 
• Promoting the event (with a sample promotional schedule and activities) 
• Making the most of an online registration tool, with best practices focused on what information to ask for on registration form, social proof, payment/donation options, etc. 
• Post-event actions, including review of stats and social activity and sending out a survey
