Today we cover our Social Emails strategy with another one of our superb Growth Experts, Michael Hayde. If your event sees a significant amount of “walk-up” or on-site registrants, today’s topic should be of interest to you.
Before we dive in, here are the excellent events that InGo started growing this week:
Simply put: Social Emails alert qualified, potential attendees
that their friends and colleagues plan to attend an event.
Here’s how the strategy works in three steps:
(with pictures!)
1. InGo generates a Social Email that has two parts. The first part of the email allows for easy sign-on with Facebook and LinkedIn.
The Event organizer sends this email to the Event’s registrants. Registrants can then sign on and post to the social network. Often, an event organizer will set an incentive for registrants to sign-on socially.
2. The second part of the Social Email highlights who has registered to attend the event. The “See Who’s Coming” link shows the registrant who else plans to attend. The registrant can then see who in their social network plans to attend.
3. Registrants that click on a link in the Social Email go to a customized Event Landing Page. On this page, the registrant can see who plans to attend and can invite his or her social network contacts to attend the event.
Event Organizers use Social Emails to market their Event.
Thanks for the time – we look forward to growing your event soon!
