Phil Provost, PSP Media
Your goal is to ensure that your experiential
event will stand out and capture the
attention of a vast audience. However, a
poorly planned event can be its downfall.
Here are a few mishaps that may occur
on the road to completing the event, along
with ways to avoid them.
Phil Provost PSP Media Inc. www.pspmediainc.com|
The more companies involved, the greater the chance for mistakes and
miscommunication. It is better to hire a solid team with a streamlined process,
than outsourcing to multiple agencies. Effective coordination is key.
Killer Mistake #1
Having Too
Many Cooks
in the Kitchen
Phil Provost PSP Media Inc. www.pspmediainc.com|
During and after the event, conversations are sure to flow, concerning your
overall event’s strategy and implementation. One of the biggest mistakes is
being unable to gauge the audience’s view of the masterpiece. One good way
to track this information is through social media.
Killer Mistake #2
Unable to
Evaluate
and Measure
Performance
Phil Provost PSP Media Inc. www.pspmediainc.com|
The experiential brand messaging needs to be clear and simple to understand
for the consumers you’re marketing to. As someone creating an event,
don’t create an experience so complicated that the audience doesn’t get it.
Killer Mistake #3
Making the
Message Too
Complex
Phil Provost PSP Media Inc. www.pspmediainc.com|
Finding advantageous ways to utilize information from an event truly
makes the entire campaign worth the time, effort, and of course, the
allocated budget.
Killer Mistake #4
Don’t
Collect Data
and Don’t
Follow Up
Phil Provost PSP Media Inc. www.pspmediainc.com|
Instead of listing mundane pointers about your company’s product or service,
which is definitely going to bore an audience that’s already time and
attention-strapped as it is; instead, you should think about what feelings,
knowledge, or awareness that your audience should experience.
Killer Mistake #5
Putting
Business
Goals Ahead
of the Brand
Experience
Phil Provost PSP Media Inc. www.pspmediainc.com|
In leading an audience, via your
company’s experiential marketing event,
you’ll find that consumers tend to invest
in your brand’s uniqueness in a much
deeper way. Now that I’ve led you through
the common pitfalls you are ready to
launch your event, good luck!
