Why Your Business Needs to Host an Event
Hey there, business owners! If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering how events can help your business. Here at Goho, we live and breathe events, and we’re here to let you in on the best-kept secret in the marketing world… EVENTS! Trust us, by the end of this, you'll be wondering why you haven’t hosted an event for your business sooner!
How to Showcase Your Product to a Wider Audience
Does your business provide an amazing service that the world needs to see? An event is the perfect platform to showcase how you stand out from the crowd. Events create a buzz and excitement that you just can’t replicate online. This could be in the form of a launch party, a demonstration day, or a pop-up shop in a popping location.
Face-to-Face Engagement with Customers
Events offer a unique opportunity to interact with your customers directly. Face-to-face engagement creates personal connections and builds stronger relationships. This is also a great way to humanise your brand by taking your logo off the screen and pairing it with a face. Remember: The more connected your audience feels, the more likely they are to convert into paying customers!
Networking Isn’t Dead!
Imagine a room filled with potential opportunities and prospective partnerships. The Goho team loves a bit of networking, and events are a networking goldmine! Bringing together clients, potential customers, and influencers can create an environment ripe for connections. Who knows where they will take you?
Generate Hot, Hot, Hot Leads!
If your main goal is creating new leads for your business, events should be at the top of your business goals list. Events are gold mines for gathering contact information from potential customers. If people are attending your event, they are most likely already interested in your products or services, making them high-quality leads that you can turn into paying customers!
Rewarding Customer Loyalty
If you have already hosted events, you can reward attendees for their loyalty by hosting exclusive events with a limited guest list. This makes your long-term customers feel valued and appreciated!
Market Research
Want to know what your customers think? Events can be the perfect place to gather direct, in-person feedback from your audience. Want to know if your size range is too limited or if you need more blank pages in your workbook? Ask your attendees and observe their reactions to gain valuable insights into customer preferences. This information is vital for refining your business strategy!
Content Creation
Events can generate a wealth of content that can be used for future marketing campaigns—photos, videos, and testimonials. Remember to update your social media during events to enhance your brand storytelling and keep the conversation ongoing long after the event ends!
The Bottom Line
So it’s that simple: events can help grow your brand by showcasing your products and services to wider audiences, allowing face-to-face engagement with customers, providing networking opportunities, securing new leads, rewarding existing loyal customers, and aiding in market research!
At Goho, we’ve had the privilege of working with leading brands across multiple industries to create impactful and memorable events (because we don’t do boring!).
