An event would not be crowned successful if there are no or uninterested guests in attendance. Growing attendance for any event can be the most stressful & important part about of planning any event. To make your event planning a tad bit easier I have provided some tips to help bring your events to the next level.
Invite Early
Once your events date is set, you have the go ahead to invite guest. It may be too early to market but it’s never too early to invite guest. It’s also smart to set up social networking pages so targeted guest can have a place to find information about your events. Encourage interested participants to invite others; as you approach the date of your event, you can integrate it into your marketing strategy.
Early Bird Perks
Who doesn’t like perks? The goal of growing attendance is getting event participants to register early/RSVP. Ideas for early perks could be giving gift bags or event t-shirts to the first 100 registers; this will spark an interest in for your prospected event participants.
Charge or No Charge?
The toss up would be in participants that will attend the event. For an event that participants have to pay; you’ll find individuals who are truly interested in the event. While, if the event is free you may attract those who just want free food! (If it were a promotional event then I would NOT charge)
Niche Markets/Appropriate Marketing
There’s no need to waste time on marketing towards the wrong crowd. Targeting marketing will be beneficial in selecting the appropriate participants. It’s also important to conduct appropriate marketing. For example, if your event is targeted to elderly participants, it will be a waste of time to market mostly on social media.
Press Releases
To raise awareness for your event, the press release is a great tool. It’s important to release the press release to local, regional, and to national media. There are many online press release sources that you can use to digitally send out your events press release.
Growing attendance for your event is like growing a business. You must be dedicated and willing to spend excessive time in planning and marketing your event. I hope these tips help XOXO, TheMktgChic (Atiya)

If your an Artist or DJ, it’s more then ever common to release mixtapes rather then albums. If your having a hard time finding reputable sites to upload your mixtapes, I’ve provided a list for you below! Take note that these are not ALL the sites but the ones that will allow the most feedback and downloads….. GOOD LUCK! (not in any particular order :-)

Retail customers thrive on weekly or monthly promotions. There are 3 retail promotions that I believe are the worst because they can be defined as misleading. If your a small retail business owner I would stay clear of these promotions unless your able to fulfill the promises.
- Free Products (while supplies last) - If your trying to lure consumers in to your retail store I would suggets putting a quantity on the promoted item. Nothings worse then a consumer coming to your store for a FREE ITEM but come to find out its only while supplies last. Trust, customers do not read the fine print! (Ex: first 50 people receive a FREE glitter bag with $20 min purchase)
- % Off An Item (w/ multiple exclusions) - If your business is planning on taking percents off certain items then do that without all the exclusions. If your bottom line can’t handle this promotion without all the exclusions then try the promotion for another month. Having to find out what the exclusions are is work; customers want to shop not work.
- Store Wide Clearance (only on off season items) - This by far is the most misleading. You ever walk into a store and see a huge sign that reads STORE WIDE CLEARANCE but once you enter the store you realize its only on off season items? I do agree that its’s a great way to lure consumers into your store but is it the best way of keeping them? Th best way of handeling this promotions is by stating exactly whats on sale WINTER STORE WIDE CLEARANCE, trust me, real shoppers will purchase anything thats on sale; on or off season.
Marketing needs to be truthful and there are plenty of ways to play with words to lure customers in without lying (yes, consumers believe you’ve lied to them if the promotions are not clear). Which marketing promotions do you believe are the worst?
