There is no question that the power of social media has made it possible for thousands of people to get the kind of results they want when it comes to the amount of people that go to their events. It could be a concert, a runways show or a conference, the point is that you need to be able to get a much larger attendance or your events once you have mastered the use of social media for this purpose. I will give you some great tips that will allow you to boost attendance for your next event.

Create events on your social media platforms

This is the most basic advice that we can give you, but make sure that when you create an event, you come up with a very good looking banner that you can use to attract people to the event. A good example is the Facebook event creation feature because it allows you to see who is going, who might be going and you can see how those numbers are stacking up when compared to the number of people that got invited.

Stay active on the page

You need to stay as active as possible on the event page when you decide to announce an event in social media. This means posting at least once a day in order to keep people fired up about the posting that you plan on doing. You should be active until the day of the event finally arrives and you should always do a final post with a call to action on the day of the event.

Hashtag as much as you can

When you decide to get started with any kind of process that is going to be used for promotional purposes, you need to remember the value of a hashtag. This is especially important in Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, so make sure that you know how to use the hashtags and avoid going crazy with them too.

Use paid ads

You can always decide to boost your posts by making a small investment in ads that will allow a larger number of people to get to your event. Investing as little as $30 bucks can mean hundreds of people in attendance that would never have been able to find out about the event without this investment.

Create a contest for more exposure

When you create contests, there are better chances that people will share your page with their contacts. You can also come up with a way to get people to post a comment in your page and then have the winner be the person that gets the most likes for their comment.

Conclusion

When you create an event in social media, you can double and even triple the amount of people who will attend. In some cases there are events that are exclusively promoted on social media and they manage to get thousands of visitors each time. Keep this in mind for your next event and you will probably see a huge difference in attendance.
