Breaking down the event success formula: All for one and one for all.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Increasing the number of registrations might be seen as the main goal of the event marketing efforts but is not limited to it, though already being a key element thereof. Increasing show-up rate and following up to build stronger relations for your next event\/offer are also as much important as the number of registrations itself.<\/p>\n

Increasing the show-up rate is especially critical for the free event providers. Even the most successful events have no-shows. Things come up; people can\u2019t make it. Moreover, skipping a free event has no financial consequences. Accordingly, free events tend to see much higher dropout rates \u2014 up to 50%, according to a survey of free event creators, published on Eventbrite.<\/p>\n

Follow-up communication is another important factor to elaborate on. In the fierce competition of almost every business vertical,\u00a0marketing is all about building relationships rather than one-time sales interaction<\/strong>. For that reason, keeping engagement high with the attendees even after the event helps a lot for your next event or with your premium offers.<\/p>\n

To simplify, let\u2019s break down important factors of an event\u2019s business performance into a formula:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Event’s Success = # of Registrations x Show-up Rate (%) x Business value of each attendee ($)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Calculating the business value for each attendee is complex since there many determinants related to each other. Even for the paid events, value per attendee is different than the ticket price since you initiate a relationship with a new customer, and it is highly probable that you can sell a new service \/ product again further along the road. Hence, taking future interactions into account is important to understand the real value of each attendee. For free events, it is all about generating leads and creating engagement for future business transactions. Overall, building relationship with attendees at the post-event phase can change the value per attendee.<\/p>\n

There are many event-marketing ways, tools, and approaches that can improve the business success depending on the context and characteristics of your event. For the purposes of this article, I will only focus on how our product \u2013 Mini Course Generator \u2013 can assist you in improving each formula component with the following targets:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
