How would you use groups to promote an event?
Anonymous
Let’s start by better understanding the question and remove ambiguity. What kind of an event are we talking about? is it a family event, a business event ? Is it a small event or a big event? Is it a public or private event? Does the event cost money ? Should the attendees pay money to join the event ? How many people should be attending? Is it a global event happening at the same time? Is it a gathering of people in a physical place or a virtual event (like mother’s day) ? Are there any requirements for the event (dress code, BYOB?) What is my role in the event? Am I the event organizer? Am I just helping a friend to promote it? Do I get paid to promote the event? Is it my job to promote it ?) Let’s make an assumption that I’m organizing by myself a public professional event about product management for around 100 people in a shared workspace. Now that we have some more information we can solve the specific question. Since I’m organizing the event by myself I will use groups solely for promotion of the event and not for self organising. I will start by posting about the event, by also creating an event object in facebook. Then I will share the post in other groups that are related to product management. I will be checking the group size prior to posting to prevent a situation where I’m posting potentially to too many or not enough people. As the event gets close, I will probably send a few reminder posts in the groups and see who is also replying and engaging and then maybe contact them directly to help promote the event and invite their friends to invite friends.
