Top 5 Event Marketing Mistakes to Avoid

“Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.” – Steve Jobs.

Mistakes are inevitable, especially when you are hosting large events. Here are some of the epic mistakes that Markable Solutions requests you to avoid:

 

1. Untargeted prospect list for event invitation

A prospect database’s size and quality are equally matters while doing event marketing campaigns. An inaccurate, untargeted list will never give you the amount of registrations your management wants.

2. Wrong messaging

Event messaging has to be well worded and appealing to the general audience. An event could be on a highly technical topic, but should reach out to your audience is an engaging way so that they feel compelled to attend.

3. Promotion on wrong channels

As per research by Hubspot and Constant Contact, on an average, companies use five different event promotion channels of which email marketing is the most widely used, preceded by mail invites (47% companies use it) and social media marketing (40% ). During promotion make sure that you choose the channels relevant to your business and where you have enough prospective event audiences.

4. Too early or too late promotion

Prospects might lose interest if you start event promotion too early and starting too late might is always an issue. Events should be planned 5-6 months beforehand and promotional campaigns should be initiated not more than 3 months in advance.

5. Not taking outside help

It is always good to hire outside experts to make sure that your team is more focused in achieving event goals and less worried about event recruitment or campaigns execution.
