Event marketing can be an expensive endeavor, and as an
event marketer, you want to ensure that your event provides the best return on
investment (ROI) possible. One of the most effective ways to do this is by
coordinating your marketing efforts with your sponsors,
exhibitors, speakers and influencers.
If you have sponsors, exhibitors, speakers or influencers
for your events, they can be crucial to the success of an event. They also put
in resources to be a part of the events. By working closely with them, you can
create a more cohesive and integrated marketing strategy that will benefit
everyone involved.
Here are some steps that event marketers can follow to
coordinate their marketing efforts with sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and
influencers:
Understand their goals and objectives: the first step in
coordinating your marketing efforts with them is to understand their goals and
objectives. This will help you tailor your marketing messages to better align
with their needs and increase their chances of success.
For example, a sponsor may be looking to increase brand
awareness or generate leads, while an exhibitor may be more focused on
promoting a new product or service. By understanding these goals, you can
develop a marketing strategy that meets the needs of both parties.
Develop a joint marketing plan: once you have a clear understanding
of their goals, you can develop a joint marketing plan that incorporates their
objectives into your overall marketing strategy.
This plan should outline how you will work together to
promote the event, including joint social media campaigns, email marketing, and
content creation. By creating a cohesive marketing plan that includes your sponsors,
exhibitors, speakers and influencers, you can maximize your reach and increase
the visibility of your events.
Leverage their networks: sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and
influencers often have large networks of followers and customers, and by
coordinating your marketing efforts, you can leverage these networks to
promote your events – other people’s marketing.
For example, you can ask them to share your events on their
social media channels, include information about the events in their email
newsletters, or even offer discounts to their customers to attend the event.
By tapping into these networks, you can reach a broader
audience and increase the chances of successful events.
Provide them with valuable content: to encourage your sponsors,
exhibitors, speakers and influencers to promote your events, you should provide
them with valuable content that they can use to engage their audiences.
This can include pre-written social media posts, email
templates, and graphics that they can use to promote the events. By providing
them with valuable content, you make it easy for them to promote the events and
ensure that their messaging is consistent with your overall marketing strategy.
Measure your results: to optimize your ROI, you should
measure the results of your coordinated marketing efforts. This will help you
identify what worked well and what didn't, and allow you to make adjustments for
future events.
By tracking metrics such as social media engagement, email
open rates, and ticket sales, you can gauge the success of your marketing
efforts and make data-driven decisions for future events.
Coordinating your marketing efforts with sponsors,
exhibitors, speakers and influencers is essential for maximizing the ROI of
your event.
