Share the photographs to the media. It would be helpful for news media in projecting your brand on to the people minds with ease. In fact, news media will be enthusiastic to show the unseen photographs of the event as exclusive.

Publish Winners Names

If you have chosen any winners in your event, post their names on the all kinds of media we talked about earlier. Specifying the list of winners on company's weblogs and their official social media pages will motivate non-attendees for the next year.

Start Taking Registrations for Next Year

“When it is over, it’s not actually over. It’s the new beginning.”

The motivated non-attendees would look for registration for the next year’s event. As to make them hold their excitements till next event is announced, it is better to take up registrations earlier. The registration form need not to contain all the fields for next event. As it not planned yet, it is impossible though to predict it earlier. So just ask the aspirants for their email IDs for registration, so that you can notify them when the next event is announced.

Email Post Event News to Attendees

The post event marketing strategies we’ve seen above would help you reach only some of the attendees and non-attendees. It is good to reach and motivate some non-attendees also, as it would increase the fan base for next year’s event. But in the same time you should not loose those who attended the event and not noticed the updates you posted on social media and blogs. To gather those people, it is better to create a newsletter email with all the news links about the event and a link for next year’s registration.

Believe in “When it is over, it’s not actually over. It’s the new beginning.” and keep going. All the best!
