Marketing events play a crucial role in promoting businesses, generating leads, and building brand awareness.

With over 30 years of experience in the industry, our team at Over the Moon Sales & Advertising has put together a comprehensive guide to help you initiate a remarkable marketing event that achieves your goals and leaves a lasting impression on your audience.
The Starting Mark
Define Your Objectives Clearly:
Our first step is to help you articulate the goals and objectives of your marketing event. Whether it's lead generation, brand awareness, product launch, or networking, establishing clear objectives will guide the planning process.
Identify Your Target Audience:
Next, we must identify the specific target audience for your event. Understanding their needs, preferences, and demographics will help tailor your marketing efforts and create a compelling event experience.
Set a Budget:
It is important to determine a realistic budget for your event. Consider all potential expenses, including venue costs, marketing expenses, catering, audio-visual equipment, and staffing.
*It is beneficial to seek collaboration opportunities with partners and sponsors to enhance the event's value and reach while helping with the budget.
Choosing the Right Type of Event
Evaluate the Best Option:
You should always evaluate different event formats and choose the one that best aligns with your objectives and target audience. Options may include conferences, seminars, trade shows, workshops, webinars, or networking events.
Our team helps strategize and assess the finest details and various approaches, all tailored to find the perfect fit for your needs. We guide you toward the option that will maximize your ROI through our commitment to excellence.
Value of the Venue:
Finding a suitable venue that accommodates your event's size, layout, and technical requirements isn’t always the easiest task. We consider factors such as location, accessibility, parking facilities, and availability of amenities.
Develop a Strategic Marketing Plan
We craft a comprehensive marketing plan to promote your event effectively through online and offline channels.
Create a Compelling Event Website or Landing Page:
Our talented art directors design a visually appealing and user-friendly website or landing page dedicated to your event. This includes essential details, such as event description, schedule, registration information, and frequently asked questions.
Leverage Social Media and Digital Marketing:
We then utilize social media platforms and online marketing techniques to create buzz and engage with your target audience. Our team develops a content calendar, runs targeted ads, and encourages social sharing to maximize event reach (when applicable).
Leveraging email marketing to communicate with potential attendees, provide updates, and send reminders is also a crucial strategy. We help you segment an email list to deliver personalized and relevant content to different audiences.
