Don’t Drop The Ball After Your Event

Go back to your pre-event promotional messaging. Delivering on the promises made to initially capture your audiences’ interest is key to ever getting their attention again. Of course your event was stellar and it provided all the great information that your audience wanted from it! Let’s just make that clear and easy to remember. It’s like branding – the more you hear it and see it, the more you will remember and keep it in mind.

Think about the benefits you promised.

Was it to network and engage with industry leaders around a certain topic? Share some of the event highlights, Q&A action, or thank your speakers and sponsors with the highlights.

Was it to train an audience on your platform or services? Remind them of the key success factors through a tutorial-type clip.

Was it to gather donations and build awareness for your mission? A success video can make your participants feel good about their support and possibly even share and advocate.

So no one is walking out of your online event with a bag of pamphlets, stress balls, selfie-sticks, pens, and water bottles. And you probably already have that post-event email scheduled (if it’s not already out) with all the attachments and follow-up material. Don’t both of those things feel kind of the same? A lot of information that you might go back to at one point, but then get too busy with what’s next to dig through the goodies again?

Remember how you initially captured the attention of your audience to get them to participate in the event? They’re still there! Through the event, you have created so much content that can be enhanced, animated, and bite-sized. Keep the conversation going and build on that.

A few different video approaches that can help you achieve this include:

• Online Resource promo videos (landing pages, downloadable material, contact information, etc)
• Social Series clips
• Case Studies and Testimonials
