Quick Tips To Promote Lectures & Demos For Low Cost

Q. Regarding free lecture /demos-How does one promote them without blowing the ad budget? Any and all advice concerning this marketing technique will be appreciated!


A. Here are a few ideas for you:


  1. Only do lectures for free with organizations that will promote them for
    you. Find groups with high membership that are looking for speakers.

  2. Have a great headline. Name your talk so that it is compelling for
    people to attend. There are simple formulas for good headlines, if you
    don't know how to do this, contact me and I will point you at some resources.

    Headlines are vitally important. 80% of the success of an announcment (or advertisment) is based on the headline being able to draw in the right audience to read the body copy.

  3. Find all the local media that will advertise non-profit events for
    free. Learn what their lead time and formats are, and make sure you
    scedule far enough in advance to get your listing in.

    Also check to see that the media covers the audience you want to reach.



Cheers, Craig
