Consider offering them a discount code or free tickets to incentivize their promotion.

 

Utilize Event Listing Sites and Directories

Event listing sites and directories can be an effective way to reach potential attendees who are actively searching for events to attend. Also, research niche event directories that cater to your target audience and list your events there.
