In today's digital economy, ecommerce platforms have become
a crucial tool for event marketers to reach a wider audience and boost ticket
sales.
With the right event marketing strategy, event marketers can
make the most out of these platforms and increase their visibility to potential
attendees.
In this blog, which follows on from our earlier blog: ‘Ecommerce Equation’, we'll discuss how event marketers can leverage ecommerce platforms to
enhance their event marketing strategy.
·
Leverage the power of online marketplaces: online
marketplaces are a great way to reach a large audience of potential customers.
These platforms offer a variety of features that can help you market your event
effectively. For example, you can create a profile for your event, upload
promotional materials, and even sell tickets directly through the platform.
·
Optimize your product placement: when selling
tickets for your events on ecommerce platforms, it's essential to optimize your
product listing to ensure that your event appears at the top of relevant search
results. To do this, make sure to include relevant keywords in your product
title and description, such as the name of the event, the location, and the
date. Use eye-catching images and provide appropriate descriptions of the events
to entice potential attendees. You can think of your event as a 'product' - read our earlier blog: 'Event Cycle'.
·
Use sponsored products: one of the best ways to
increase the visibility of your events on ecommerce platforms is by using
sponsored products. Sponsored products are paid advertisements that appear at
the top of search results, making them more visible to potential attendees. By
bidding on relevant keywords, event marketers can increase their chances of
appearing at the top of relevant search results and drive more traffic to their
product listing.
·
Listing your events on event listing platforms,
you can increase your exposure to a large, targeted audience. You can also
leverage the platform’s built-in marketing tools, such as email newsletters,
social media integration, and analytics.
·
Customer reviews are a powerful tool for event
marketers, as they can help build credibility and trust with potential
attendees. Encourage past attendees to leave positive reviews of your events on
ecommerce platforms, and make sure to respond to any negative reviews promptly
to show that you take feedback seriously. Positive reviews that are genuine can
help improve your event's visibility and drive more ticket sales.
·
Offer discounts and promotions: another way to
increase ticket sales on ecommerce platforms is by offering discounts and
promotions. You can also run limited-time promotions to create a sense of
urgency and encourage potential attendees to purchase tickets before they sell
out.
·
Cross-promote your events: event marketers
should consider cross-promoting their event on multiple ecommerce platforms to
increase their reach. By promoting your events on multiple platforms, you can
increase your visibility to potential attendees and drive more ticket sales.
Ecommerce platforms offer event marketers a powerful tool to
increase their visibility and drive ticket sales.
