Event Planning In Houston: Event Promotion and Party Rental
Event planning in Houston can be a stressful ordeal, but it certainly doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re planning a wedding, fundraiser, gala, banquet, birthday party, bizarre, or carnival – event promotion should be one of your biggest concerns. The following suggestions will help spread the word about your big event.
Invitations:
It goes without saying, but invitations are still a very effective way to inform friends and family about your big day. Fancy invitations are pretty to look at and help express your personal style, but the key to an effective invite is timing. Send off your invitations early, allowing enough time for guests to make appropriate arrangements.
Another cute invitation idea is to send your guests save-the-date magnets, or perhaps a small save-the-date calendar. This way, you offer your guests a memorable token of your big event.
Online Promotion
The future has arrived, and one of the best ways to promote your big event is by utilizing Internet marketing. Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter are a few social networking resources that could prove invaluable in generating online buzz about your special event. Press releases and e-mail campaigns are also great ways to reach a vast audience. The advantage of Internet marketing is that it reaches beyond just those you know personally.
Print Promotion
The old-fashioned method of print promotion for your big event is still quite effective. Flyers, newsletters, posters, postcards, and print advertising can give a tangible reminder to potential guests about your big event. Of course, invitations and print reminders also fall into this category. Never underestimate the power of paper when it comes to planning your special event.
Word-Of-Mouth
Word of mouth is where networking and simply spreading the news about your big event come in handy. Attend as many strategic functions, fundraisers, and relevant gatherings as possible in order to promote your big day. Hearing about an event from the horse’s mouth holds much more validity than filtered correspondence. And the social networking might prove invaluable in your personal and professional life.
It’s important to remember that event promotion is a comprehensive undertaking. Some combination of all the suggested event promotion strategies will yield the best results – and the biggest turnout. It will take a little effort on your end, but a huge reception on your big day will make all the hard work worth it.
