5 Reasons To Use Social Media For Events

What are the benefits in using social media to promote events?

• People on social media platforms can network before, during and after the event and build a richer personal experience.

• Planners can share educational content on their issue in the lead up to an event on social media platforms. And after the event this content remains as an online library.

•  You can get feedback on the planning and execution of your event to make future activities even better.

• You can crowd source for creative ideas from friends and followers to find that 'wow' factor that makes your event different and engaging. 

• Social media platforms provide another and cheaper way to reach people beyond advertising, fliers etc. Word of mouth through social media platforms can potentially reach anyone anywhere.
