It may be challenging to properly promote events and improve event attendance in a world inundated with information, particularly when there are so many fascinating events vying for the public's attention. This, along with the fact that these events are being held for the very first time following the lockdown, explains why participant participation is critical to event success. Many event professionals feel that the most important aspect of an event is engaging guests.

In this article, we at HIT+RUN have listed our top five suggestions on how to engage event attendees before an event. To make an event more interesting for your audience, try all or any of these suggestions, and your tickets will be sold out very, very quickly.

Start with Promotion Sooner

To get awareness and generate interest in your event, you should begin advertising it as soon as possible. This is a proven and true approach to improving event participation. Consider Hollywood: movies are marketed and preview trailers are produced while the movie is still being made! This builds anticipation for the film and makes moviegoers enthusiastic about its debut. To entice attendees, you should use a similar strategy to event marketing and initiate a steady stream of content long before the start of the event. Teaser announcements like "we have got something amazing planned for August" can build anticipation and spark your audience's interest.

Make Social Media Posts More Frequently

Regularly scheduling events over a period of time helps to increase interest and attendance. To achieve maximum visibility and develop momentum over time, you should integrate your marketing activities across different social media sites. You may compose the posts ahead of time and schedule them for your pages on social media, and the website or application will automatically post them at the date and time that you specify.
Another useful social media suggestion is to develop some hashtags for your event that you can utilize on Instagram or Twitter. You may build event pages for your event on Facebook and Linkedin. Consider your employees as well. One issue that people constantly want to address is how to engage audiences for their event, but one ought to also think about how to engage event workers, especially because they ought to be one of the main attendee engagement channels. Tag event workers in your postings so they may share them on social media and encourage greater team spirit.

Initiate Advertising Campaigns

You would need a lot of visibility to get people to come. Due to the availability of material on social networking sites, even with extensive and consistent marketing efforts, event attendance might be slow. Because of the manners in which the algorithms work on Twitter and Instagram, it might be especially tough to acquire attention if you do not have a large following. Running paid marketing campaigns for your event can help enhance exposure and participation.
