5 Ways to Make Your Event a Huge Success

Share updates about the event, post sneak peeks of the preparations, and engage your followers with interactive content. It's a good idea to create a unique event hashtag and encourage others to use it in their posts to increase visibility.
- Distribute a District-Wide Email: A well-crafted email invitation can be a powerful tool in promoting your event and boosting ticket sales. Draft a compelling email that provides all the necessary details about the event, from the date and location to the unique attractions (like Rick Smith Jr.'s magic show). Remember to include a clear call-to-action for recipients to purchase tickets. Sending this to a district-wide email list can help ensure you reach as many potential attendees as possible, thereby maximizing your fundraising potential.
- Make Weekly Announcements Over the School PA System: Weekly announcements over the school's PA system serve as another effective method to promote your event. These announcements act as regular reminders, keeping your event fresh in the minds of students, staff, and visitors within the school premises. Add a dash of excitement by sharing the progress of preparations or revealing a 'magic word' each week to build anticipation. Remember, the aim is to create a buzz and foster a sense of community involvement.
- Host a 50/50 Raffle at the Event: A 50/50 raffle can be an excellent addition to your event. In this type of raffle, participants buy tickets with the understanding that 50% of the total money raised will go to the winner, while the remaining 50% will contribute towards the school's fundraising efforts. The excitement of the possible win could enhance ticket sales and further boost your event’s fundraising potential. Advertise this raffle well in advance to create anticipation and increase participation.
- Sell Sponsored Ads on a 16' x 9' Video Wall: A great way to raise additional funds for your event is to sell advertising space on a 16' x 9' video wall that will be displayed on the night of the show. Local businesses may be interested in the opportunity to promote their services or products to your audience. These ads can be played during intermissions or before the start of the event, offering high visibility to sponsors. Ensure to price these ads competitively and offer different duration options to attract a variety of businesses.
