Streamlining audience acquisition for your event: Overcoming the funnel challenges

Whether it is product launch, a workshop, or industry conference, this is always one challenge where one would like to streamline audience acquisition. It's much like casting a line into the vast ocean— hoping for the right catch amidst countless distractions and competing baits.

In fact, 52% of the event planners mention that attracting an audience is their biggest challenge. Now before you jump to the conclusion it's an issue only for in-person or virtual events, let's dive deeper.

Many senior professionals have stopped attending live events due to tight schedules and travel fatigue and because there are 'alternatives' online. But virtual has its own challenge: 'webinar fatigue' has overwhelmed the attendees with the volume of online meetings within the past years. Obviously, the issue is more than just event formats.

Read ahead to find out the most significant challenges which might be knocking you off from your aims of audience acquisition, and ultimately some essential advice that will help you find the most appropriate attendees for your event.

Challenges with streamlining audience acquisition for your events

1. Defining the right audience segments

The secret of a successful target audience is recognizing the right audience. This is a step that most organizations get wrong since they usually try to draw in many people, and their events end up attracting attendees who have no interest in what the event intended to accomplish.

Solutions to the Problem:

Ø  Study the demographics, interests, and behaviors of your target audience.

Ø  Develop an in-depth buyer persona based on your studies.

Ø  If you have used to hold events in the past, use those insights from the attendees as a way of refining your targeting strategy.

2. Ensuring a Strong Pull Factor

Your event needs to have a strong pull factor-something that actually draws people to it. Whether new perspectives on the topic, star headliners or virtually unbeatable industry insights, or unparalleled networking opportunities, attendees need to be given a strong reason to choose your event over others. A strong pull factor pretty much self-markets for the event.

How to Overcome Tips:

Ø  Identify what makes your event unique in selling.

Ø  Book big-name industry experts or influencers as speakers.

Ø  Highlight networking opportunities with industry leaders and peers.

Ø  Testimonials or data from previous successful events

3. Right Channels

Audience acquisition needs to be multi-channel. The more channels you use, the better your chances of reaching that target audience.

Tips to Overcome:

Ø  Outreach methods to use a different mix, like a mix of tele-calling, email, social media, SMS, WhatsApp, and digital ads.

Ø  Collaborate with the influence of the industries to enhance credibility and reach.

Ø  Monitor how each channel is performing and channel resources appropriately.

Ø  Monitor and adjust your approach based on the engagement metrics.

4. Standing Out in a Crowded Market

The event industry is booming, with India's event market alone generating $3.3 billion in 2020, and the space expected to rise to over $6.7 billion by 2026. So, it cuts both ways; you have a fighting chance due to the sheer number of events, but that also means that there is a fighting chance for yours alone.

How to Overcome:

Ø  Make marketing visuals attractive and appealing. For example, if you are running an AI Innovations event, then use futuristic visuals showcasing AI in actual applications.

Ø  Highlight the unique benefits of participating in your event. Example: "Get the latest insights from thought leaders, live demos with industry experts, and see how AI can apply to your business."

Ø  Address participants directly through every message.  "As a digital transformation leader of [Company], registering for our AI meeting will ensure you don't miss the wagon."

Ø  Create a time-sensitive appeal through limited offers or early-bird discounts. "Register by [Date] and take an early-bird discount of 20%."

5. Quality Database Maintenance

A real-time, up to date, and clean database is a pre-requisite to quality audience acquisition. With a proper quality database, you will be able to segment them so that you can communicate targeted information that really speaks to specific groups.

Best Practices Overcomes:

Ø  Build a segmented database based on industry, role, and location to update regularly

Ø  Consider outsourcing for audience acquisition with agencies that maintain of comprehensive databases like Channel Technologies

6. Reaching the Unresponsive Prospects

This can be quite frustrating if they do not demonstrate any interest, but with the right approach, you can win them over.

Tips to Overcome:

Ø  Analyze engagement data that is provided by email opens, click-through rates, website visits and how there could be reasons for lack of interest.

Ø  Try different messaging or offers. Just send them VIP access or exclusive one-on-one sessions.

Ø  Give them relevant, valuable content - industry reports, eBooks, early access to event content in exchange for registering.

7. Audience Drop-Off

You may capture their attention in the beginning, but not necessarily at the end of the event. People register and do not attend or drop off mid-stream.

Workarounds:

Ø  Prepare them ahead of time for potential barriers around attending - flexible options for attendance or availability of content on demand.

Ø  Utilize consistent communication through e-mail, text messages, or social media to keep the crowd aware and energized.

Ø  Use the follow-up tactic that includes reminders and countdowns

Ø  Satisfy the appetite of exclusive content

Ø  Engage with the target crowd by distributing a poll or a quiz before the event

8. DIY vs. Hiring Professionals: What's Best for Audience Acquisition?

While it might appear more profitable to get the audience on your own, hiring a professional agency is often the way to go.

Why Hire an Agency?

Ø  Industry contacts: Agencies have already established relationships with influencers and will help tap into new audiences.

Ø  Updated databases: Agencies usually have large, segmented databases that target the right demographics to get the right people to your advertising.

Ø  Specialized teams: Dedicated teams manage different channels-telemarketing, digital marketing, email, and social media.

Ø  Diverse experience: Professional agencies understand the unique trends and strategies for various industries.

Ø  Creative expertise: They can create compelling marketing materials that will resonate with your target audience.

Ø  Proven strategies: Agencies learn the best channels and techniques through their experience with successful cases.

Conclusion

Audiences need to be streamlined in ways that help deal with challenges at each stage of the funnel. From defining the right audience segments to personalized messaging and making multiple channel approaches, there are so many strategies you can use to attract your ideal attendees, keep the dead prospects engaged while preventing drop-off.

Hybrid events may be the ultimate novelty, however-putting you in touch with the best of both worlds. This way, you'll be able to connect with a wider audience in several ways. It means accommodating both those who have a preference for attending in person and those making a decision to participate virtually.

SAG Awards Predicted to be a Nail-Biter with Surprising Upsets in the Mix

The 2022 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are expected to be a nail-biter, with many categories too close to call. The awards ceremony will be held on February 27th and will be broadcast on TNT and TBS. One of the closest categories is for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, with Will Smith ("King Richard"), Benedict Cumberbatch ("The Power of the Dog"), and Denzel Washington ("The Tragedy of Macbeth") all seen as contenders. Meanwhile, the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category features a tight race between Kristen Stewart ("Spencer") and Lady Gaga ("House of Gucci"). In the television categories, "Succession" and "The Crown" are both expected to be strong contenders for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. "Ted Lasso" is predicted to win in the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series category. This year's ceremony will be the first SAG Awards since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and it will be a hybrid event, with some presenters and winners appearing in person and others participating remotely. In addition to the traditional awards categories, the ceremony will also feature the SAG Life Achievement Award, which will be presented to actress and activist Debbie Allen. The SAG Awards are seen as a strong predictor of the winners at the Academy Awards, which will take place on March 27th. With the competition so close in many categories, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top at this year's ceremony. Read the full article

Optimising the Virtual Experience for Hybrid Events

Hybrid events are here, and they’re changing the game. In a world where in-person and virtual attendees are equally important, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone is a must. So, how do you take things to the next level? By focusing on the virtual attendee experience. Here’s how you do it, and why it matters.

Engagement: Stop the Boring Stuff

Listen, if you want people to care about your event, you need to make it engaging. No one wants to sit through a 2-hour lecture on a screen. Get your audience involved. Poll them, let them ask questions, and give them the chance to be a part of the conversation. When your virtual attendees are part of the action, they feel valued. And when people feel valued, they engage. Simple.

Interactivity: Make It Fun

You can’t just expect people to watch your event like it’s Netflix. You need to make it interactive. Games, polls, and live chats—give virtual attendees something to do, not just watch. Gamification is key here. Let people rack up points, compete with others, and even win some cool prizes. This is how you keep their attention and make them want to come back next time.

Networking: Don’t Let Them Miss Out

Networking isn’t just for in-person events. Virtual attendees need to connect too. If you want your event to be truly hybrid, you’ve got to provide easy ways for people to network. Let them meet in virtual rooms, match them with like-minded individuals, and make it as seamless as possible. Networking should be just as important online as it is offline, and if you do it right, your event will be a massive hit.

UI and UX: Don’t Make It Hard to Navigate

People don’t have time for clunky, confusing platforms. If your event tech isn’t user-friendly, people are going to drop off fast. A smooth User Interface (UI) and intuitive User Experience (UX) are essential. Make it easy for virtual attendees to find sessions, join live streams, and interact with others. If it’s frustrating to use, they’ll leave. Period.

Live Streaming and On-Demand Content: Give Them Flexibility

Not every virtual attendee can make it live. So why not let them watch later? Live streaming is awesome, but on-demand content is just as important. Offering both gives your virtual attendees the freedom to watch when it works for them. Flexibility is the name of the game in 2024, and it’s how you stand out.

VR and AR: Take It to the Next Level

This is where the magic happens. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are the future of hybrid events. Think about it: with VR, you can let attendees explore a virtual conference hall. With AR, you can bring your presentations to life. These technologies take the virtual attendee experience from flat to fantastic. If you’re not incorporating VR or AR, you’re missing out.

Feedback Mechanisms: Always Be Improving

Feedback is everything. After your event, ask your virtual attendees what worked, what didn’t, and what they want more of next time. Use that info to level up your next event. Without feedback, you’re guessing. With feedback, you’re learning and growing. Simple as that.

Data and Analytics: Let the Numbers Tell You What’s Working

If you’re not tracking your virtual attendees' behavior, you’re flying blind. Analytics will tell you where people are engaged, where they’re dropping off, and where you can improve. By paying attention to these insights, you can keep making your hybrid events better and better. The data doesn’t lie—it shows you what your audience wants, and that’s where you should focus.

Personalization: Make It About Them

One-size-fits-all doesn’t work anymore. Personalization is the key to making your virtual attendees feel special. Whether it’s recommending sessions based on their interests or sending them custom content, give them an experience tailored to them. When people feel like the event is made just for them, they’ll stick around. It’s that simple.

The Hybrid Event Future: Here to Stay

Hybrid events aren’t a trend—they’re the future. Virtual attendees are just as important as those in person, and if you don’t focus on their experience, you’re missing out. These events are about connection, engagement, and making people feel like they’re part of something bigger, no matter where they are.

So, what’s the takeaway? If you want your hybrid events to succeed, put the virtual attendee experience front and center. Give them the same level of attention and engagement as you do your in-person guests, and watch your event soar. The future of events is hybrid, and it’s time to crush it. Let’s get to work.
