Pump Up Your Corporate Events with More Promotions

Corporate events are important facets in the business world.

Whether it’s an internal affair or a larger multi-business conference; a great deal of planning goes into these events.

Not only planning before the event, but during as well and follow up after. Reminders need to be sent, sometimes changes happen and other notifications need to get to the event attendees during it.

What better way to reach those you need to than through text messaging?

Mobile is the Way to Go

You’d be hard pressed to find anyone, especially at a business function, without a mobile device on them.

People use tablets and smart phones throughout these events; therefore, communication via these devices is smart, productive and efficient.

As the article, “How to Give Your Corporate Events a Boost with Text Messaging” looks at, there is much you can do to get the ball rolling.

For those on the event planning side as well as those in charge of getting your employees involved in an event, text messaging is an excellent and efficient choice for communication.

From pre-registration to post event thank you’s, texting will reach those you need it to in a quick, efficient manner.

Before the event:

During the planning stages, don’t hesitate to use text messaging as a great format for reminders, preregistration and other parts of the planning stages.

You can send out a save the date text message, and then another when it’s time to register.

From anything to booking hotel rooms to food choices to getting a small group together, text messaging can be such a convenient method of preplanning that you may wonder how you ever got along without it.

Also, you can promote through your social media sites as well, and be sure to put the two together for maximum promotion.

During the event:

Sometimes you’ll need to send a reminder to the attendees.

This goes for those planning the event as well as for heads of groups attending. Perhaps there has been a change of meeting space and you need to alert the attendees. Send a quick text message with the new location.

Maybe you want to get all of your employees together for a pre-dinner drink to debrief the day – send a text message.

After the event:

What better way to reach out after an event than through text message?

People tend to reply quickly to text messages because of the easy, short and efficient format. Send a link to a post event survey via text message, or even a simple thank you for attending.

As opposed to an email, texts are usually seen and responded to in a timely manner.

Planning is hectic.

You wonder if everyone is getting the right material and notices, schedules and invites. You want your attendees to be engaged and informed during the event.

All of this can be handled through text messaging. It saves everyone time, it gets the information out and answering is easy.

So when it’s time to plan your next corporate event, look to text messaging as a smart line of communication.
