We believe that a high-quality PR campaign with a positive approach and an effective message will have a direct impact on your business. It is an integral part of the entire process that will help deliver the income and results that you are looking for.
A product is a launch when a company brings a new product or service to the market. A successful product launch starts well before the actual release date, and its effects will be felt long after.
This will build anticipation, facilitate the initial influx of sales, and establish the momentum at which the company can expand. One of the best ways to launch a new product is through an event, and some of the world’s biggest companies have been doing it for years.
These product launch ideas and user conference tips will help your company host a great event. Some product launch events are traditional. Another product launch element is user conferences. But each has been highly successful, and there is much to learn.
Effective public relations (PR) can secure sales and business leads, secure sponsorships, raise awareness, and secure press coverage.
A successful PR strategy is deeply rooted in planning. There is no way around it. With the start of events season and the return of live events after the pandemic, we’ve put together some tips on how to create a strategic PR plan around events to get the most return on your investment.
Whether you are hosting a business conference yourself or participating in or sponsoring a meeting, trade show, or industry exhibition.
Your PR strategy needs to be anchored to company objectives for the event with consistent messaging, relevant content, and active engagement with the media, industry professionals, and other stakeholders. If your goal is to raise awareness of your company’s presence or speaking opportunity at an event, you may choose to focus on relevant pre-event content and PR to promote your presence.
Getting press coverage and maximum visibility before an event is critical to your public relations planning. To focus on the upcoming event, schedule your media meetings and interviews, and plan your features and articles. Note lead times, press deadlines, and editorial calendars to effectively plan your content and PR campaign for the event
If you’re willing to work hard and think outside the box, your company can succeed by incorporating some of these PR activities into your PR results and press coverage:
While you can ensure a continuous flow of information to a broad target media list using press releases, be sure to distribute them to personal media contacts who have a genuine interest in the event. In our experience, mass press release distribution has little impact. Instead, it is more beneficial to focus on developing specific content for key target media. This is hard work because it means the event program, your spokespersons’ and other speakers’ areas of expertise, the industry, as well as current trends and issues that affect both your target audience and target media.
If you decide to hire a communications agency to handle your company’s event PR. As an agency, we have been successful with event PR for many clients based on:
Proactivity: Seeking and proactively responding to opportunities that emerge during the campaign.
Relationships: Experienced communicators who can leverage relationships with stakeholders and media to gain maximum exposure.
Contacts: Developing our media relations and going beyond traditional publications.
Creating memorable PR events that captivate audiences and elevate your brand.
Ideally, you want to hold the event on a relatively slow day when there aren’t many other things going on. That is, don’t plan your PR event on the same day as a high-profile sports game, or another big local event. If you do, attendees and press may attend their event instead of yours.
A PR event is about generating publicity. Sure, you can generate publicity by live streaming your event and creating other social media content, but you also need the press. Here are some tips for getting press at your event:
Promotion does not begin and end at the event. It is a continuous effort that includes a dynamic social media presence. Use a combination of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social networks to generate hype and anticipation. Also use your blog, YouTube channel, and newsletter to get the word out.
Choosing the location for a PR event planning is especially important if many of the participants are first-timers. With this approach, a spectacular location that is also a landmark will be far more memorable than a simple multi-purpose room in a school or city hall. The venue also desires to be practical. You should be prepared for inclement weather with tents and umbrellas on standby.
If you can tolerate light refreshments, that’s fine as long as you provide foods that promote conversation and small talk. This includes drinks like sparkling champagne and mini sandwiches. If the venue has a bar, hire a mixologist to create delicious cocktails for guests. Food also helps your social media presence.
Your event is about strengthening your brand. The outcome depends on the event’s ability to engage attendees and the press. By incorporating all of the steps above, you’ll have a blueprint for a memorable public relations conference that achieves its intended purpose.
