BUS 372 Module 6 Event Promotion. Promotion is an important part of executing a successful event. Successful event promotion creates awareness of the event and generates interest for participants, spectators, and volunteers. One key to successful event promotion is the creation of a clear, consistent message about the event. A good promotion gets people excited about the event while providing basic details about the who, what, when, where, why and how of the event. Depending on the size and scope of the event, many different promotional avenues are available including print, radio, and television advertising,creation of anevent specific website and the use of social media.

Think about the event you are planning and determine how you can create additional promotional strategies and pieces that build on what is already in place to promote the event to targeted participants, the local communityand potential volunteers. Use the “Event Promotion” handout to create an event promotion plan. In Topic 3 you generated ideas for implementing two forms of digital media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, blogging, event website, etc.) to promote your event and engage the community and volunteers. Feel free to build on that content as part of your event promotion plan.
