As an event marketer, it's crucial to understand that event
promotion and marketing are not just about informing people about your upcoming
events but also about competing for the audience's attention.
In today's world, the attention economy, people are bombarded with a constant
stream of information and distractions, making it increasingly challenging to
capture their attention. To stand out, event marketers need to approach event
promotion and marketing as a competition for the audience's attention.
·
Limited attention span: one of the main reasons
why event marketers need to think of event promotion and marketing as a
competition for the audience's attention is that people have a limited
attention span. According to studies, the average attention span is for a matter
of seconds. This means that event marketers only have a short window of time to
capture the audience's attention and make a lasting impression.
·
Increasing competition: another reason why event
marketers need to approach event promotion and marketing as a competition is
that the competition is increasing. With so many events taking place
simultaneously and various forms of entertainment available, it's becoming
increasingly challenging to stand out and capture the audience's attention.
Therefore, event marketers need to work harder and smarter to ensure their
event stands out and attracts the audience's attention.
·
Importance of engagement: event marketing is not
just about informing people about your events but also about engaging with
them. Engaging with the audience can help create a memorable experience and
generate buzz about the event. To engage with the audience, event marketers
need to create compelling content and experiences that resonate with them and
capture their attention.
·
Impact of social media: social media has become
a powerful tool for event marketers to reach out to their target audience and
generate buzz about their event. However, social media is also a highly
competitive space, with multiple events vying for attention. Therefore, event
marketers need to be creative and strategic in their approach to social media
to capture the audience's attention and make an impact.
·
Need for ROI: event marketers also need to think
of event promotion and marketing as a competition because they need to deliver
a return on investment (ROI) for their stakeholders. The success of an event
depends on many factors, and to ensure that the event is profitable, event
marketers need to ensure they capture the audience's attention and generate
interest in the event.
Event marketers need to understand that event marketing is a competition and that they need to compete to stand out.
