Promoting theevent2How do you promote your event to your target markets? This chapterprovides a list of promotional tools and an eight-week sample timeline –from developing your marketing strategy to the event launch.Promotion is one of the seven Ps of marketing. It’s about communicating to yourpotential audience – not only to get them to attend but to ensure that their expectationswill match the product they will experience. Think about what influences your behaviourand how you respond to promotion. Also test your ideas among a number of peoplewithin your target segments before you produce costly promotional material.Before you start to promote the event, one of your tasks is to put together a promotionalstrategy that’s informed by your marketing strategy. Your promotional strategy will identifythe tools you choose to communicate your message, including areas such as indirectadvertising, direct marketing and the media. The timing and implementation of yourpromotional strategy is designed to take your potential market through the buying cycle (seeBuying behaviour on page 24).Setting a promotions budgetOnce you’ve identified your target markets and the best ways to communicate with them,you’ll have some idea of the communication tools you should use. This will determinehow you spend your promotional budget.There’s no magic formula to calculate how much of the overall budget should be spenton promotion. For small-scale events, the promotions budget will often be a largerpercentage of the overall budget than for large-scale events. Save money where you can:e.g. by piggybacking on mail-outs; doing duotone instead of full-colour posters; askingfor sponsorship in goods and services; using e-mail to distribute photos. 2Smart arts | Toi huatau17
