Seven Ways You Can Drum Up Publicity For Corporate Events

By Gene Fink


Organising corporate events can be exciting and interesting but simultaneously stressful and nerve-racking. This is never more true in the case when a corporate event has to fulfill two roles at the same time - an event that makes sure everybody enjoys being there and participating, and an event that would require publicity for success and profitability at the end of the day.

Nevertheless, if the right approach is used, creating publicity for corporate events will become an easier task to manage. The seven tips and strategies discussed below are all designed to help anybody create publicity the easier way.

Every project needs some sort of teamwork, and with that said, you can make use of this by delegating somebody to handle publicity. So while your team member does the dirty work, you can sit back and manage the team and the event itself. You can focus on supervising the rest of your team and coming up with decisions that could benefit the project.

When ensuring that your event turns out as expected, you have to be absolutely sure you have chosen the right person for the job. Such person needs to have more than enough media contacts even before the event begins, such as newspaper contacts and television contacts.

When copywriting for your local paper or a direct mailer, keep your copywriting simple. When creating dynamite publicity, great things come in small packages, so put a premium on simple writing with high impact - and good editing. You wouldn't want to bore people with detail-filled information packs, unless the recipient specifically makes the request.

Try not to use copywriting that may be a tad too creative or flowery. Your audience has no time trying to figure out your message, and it is best that you send them something direct and concise.

It may seem painfully obvious that you need to include some sort of contact information in your publicity packages, but there are actually some corporate event organizers who leave this out. You will need this, of course, in case anybody wants to call you or email you for more details.

Make sure you keep your press releases up to date at all times. This is important because press releases always need to have some form of relevance and be the most recent ones created.

Always stick with the truth when you are answering questions from the media, or holding a press conference. Corporate event managers often tend to stretch the truth or hide it behind positively scripted lines, but people in the media, to be honest, weren't born yesterday.
