Your goal this week

Once the program is live you can share your event listing page.

We’ve created the templates below to make things easier for you. However, please feel encouraged to craft your own unique social media posts, email newsletters and posters if you prefer.

Tips and advice

Choosing your channels

Do you need to post to every social media channel? Not necessarily.

Base your approach on meeting your potential attendees (your ‘audience’) where they already are.

Consider…

  • Are there organisations that already talk to your audience?
  • Does your audience get their news in a Twitter feed, or in a newspaper?
  • Are they more likely to see a picture on Instagram, or on the wall of their local café?

Ask yourself which social media channels does your audience use?

You don’t need an account on every social media channel – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, and so on.

That may mean that you only post on Facebook. Or you only post on Instagram and TikTok.

Focus on the channels your audience already use.

Checklist

  • Post something new on social media
  • Send an email newsletter
  • Create your own posters
