Around this time for the past three years, we get asked this question a lot: “How do I spread the word about my SXSW event?”
Of course, every good event marketing strategy starts with a great Splash page, a solid event email marketing plan, and of course, an awesome invite list.
But what if you don’t have a good list to start with? What if you’ve exhausted your existing lists and still aren’t hitting your RSVPs? How do you unearth all of those SXSW party-goers who might be interested in coming to your event?
Enter RSVPster. It’s the easiest way for anyone to RSVP to a ton of unofficial Interactive, Film and Music parties with just one click.
SO: If you’re looking for a ton of exposure and a quick way to build your list, then RSVPster is for you. (Of course, if you’re hosting a private, invite-only event, stay away.)
1. You’ll get crazy exposure for your event. RSVPster has thousands of SXSW-goers in their growing database.
2. You’ll generate a ton of RSVPs. Guaranteed. So, be prepared for either (a) a line around the block, or (b) a ton of no-shows. Definitely a risk, but it could pay off big.
3. You’ll build an insane email distro list for future events. All those RSVPs you’ll get? Those emails are yours.
If this sounds up your alley, then get to it. All you have to do is fill out this form and we’ll take care of the rest.
No pressure and no charge. Just a helpful tip from your friends at Splash.
