Read the first 7 Event Promotion & Branding flashcards as text

  1. What is 'earned media' in the context of event promotion?

    Answer: Organic coverage such as press mentions, shares, and reviews generated by the event's value

    Earned media is publicity gained through merit rather than paid placement, including press coverage, social shares, reviews, and word-of-mouth referrals.

  2. A 'press release' for an event should be distributed to media outlets at what stage?

    Answer: 6-8 weeks before the event to give journalists lead time for coverage

    Distributing press releases 6-8 weeks out gives journalists and editors enough time to plan editorial coverage, assign reporters, and schedule features.

  3. What is the purpose of an 'event recap' in post-event branding strategy?

    Answer: To extend the event's lifespan and reach by sharing highlights with those who didn't attend

    A compelling event recap — through video, blog posts, or social content — generates continued engagement, demonstrates event value, and promotes future events.

  4. Which promotional channel typically delivers the highest ROI for B2B event marketing?

    Answer: LinkedIn-based outreach and advertising

    LinkedIn's professional audience targeting and content formats make it the most effective channel for reaching B2B decision-makers and driving event registrations.

  5. What is 'scarcity marketing' as applied to event ticket promotion?

    Answer: Creating urgency by highlighting limited ticket availability or time-sensitive pricing

    Scarcity tactics such as 'Only 50 tickets left' or countdown timers leverage loss aversion psychology to accelerate purchase decisions.

  6. When developing a promotional calendar for an event, which phase should receive the most marketing spend?

    Answer: The peak registration window, typically 4-6 weeks before the event

    The 4-6 week window before an event typically sees the highest conversion intent, making it the optimal period for concentrated promotional spend.

  7. What is 'influencer seeding' in event promotion?

    Answer: Providing influencers with early access or free tickets so they organically share the event

    Influencer seeding gives key opinion leaders authentic early access, incentivizing organic promotion that reaches their audience with credibility.
