In simpler words, event marketing can be described as promoting and popularizing a brand / product / project by organizing or integrating into events. It is closely associated with PR-promotion, and also echoes with SMM and viral marketing.
Why is it effective?
Interesting, well-organized events always evoke positive emotions in people, a sense of belonging to what is happening, a desire to share the information received and impressions with colleagues / friends. They not only increase the audience’s loyalty to you, but also launch viral marketing - free advertising without your participation, which minimizes the cost of promotion.
Why is it needed?
This type of marketing solves a whole range of tasks:
- Increasing brand / product / project recognition;
- Increase customer loyalty;
- Sales increase;
- Expanding the list of partners and gaining new business contacts / useful contacts
- Updating and expanding the customer base;
- Strengthening corporate culture;
- Presentation of new products, etc.
Events can have not only commercial, but also image tasks. So evening parties and special receptions can show your openness, and charity events can show your social and social orientation.
How and where to hold the event?
After setting goals and objectives, you can proceed to the selection of the event format and its location.
If we are talking about events in Russia, then holding presentations and conferences with the participation of government bodies, local businesses and business associations allow us to establish useful relations for further entry into the market. Also on the Russian market, integration intobusiness events and exhibitions is particularly effective - this is an opportunity to express themselves to a wider audience at the lowest cost.
These tools work best in conjunction with individual business meetings, so it would be advisable to consider the format of the road show in one or several Russian cities.
Reverse business missions are gradually gaining popularity. Upon completion of your business visit to Russia, you can arrange a return visit of the Russian side to Asia - this will provide an opportunity to present your products, show production, local industirial sites, establish closer contact with your partner and increase his loyalty to you.
