A strong Instagram presence can help event planners with promotion.
Event Check-in SystemsInstagram has become the top choice for online photo and video sharing.
It’s easy, fast and totally in the palm of your hand. Plus, it’s a great way to create buzz, laughs and maybe even some embarrassment (well not really) at events.
Event Check-in SystemsIf used correctly, Instagram can be a powerful tool for event planners.
Engaging attendees in every possible way always helps to boost ROI, and following a few simple guidelines can ensure successful social-media integration.
Event Check-in SystemsSeeing as Instagram is a photo-sharing app, the obvious first step is to capture photos that are relevant, timely and have a bit of a wow-factor.
Take pictures of impressive booths, popular (or not so well-known) attendees, the event facilities – a well thought-out visual presence can go a long way.
Event Check-in SystemsEqually important is the act of creating hashtags for your event. Using these hashtags encourages attendees to share their own pictures and videos, leading to increased interactivity.
It’s also a simple, effective solution for maintaining your visual content in one easy-to-find location. A hashtag goes a long way and stays with the event for life.
Event Check-in SystemsInteracting with attendees’ posts makes them feel like they’re making vital contributions to the event.
Any conference will go more smoothly when attendees are reminded that their opinions hold value.
