Whether your’re a small hotel, You can no longer afford to ignore social media marketing.
- Branding – The most people you reach, the more buzz you create about your brand, the better you are. Traffic is MASSIVE.
- Study what other businesses are doing. Search hashtags that are relevant to your business. Bakery: #Bakery #BakeryTips Adirondack Bed and Breakfast: #Adirondacks #HotelMarketing #AdirondackHotel #bedandbreakfast #BandB Non Profit Organization: #nonprofits Find competitors and other brands similar to yours. When you do this, use the Follow Mate app and look at who is following these competitors. These are your perfect audience and you need to connect with as many of them as possible. One of the easiest ways to get good at marketing, is to just model what the pros are doing. Don’t just copy them make it original to your brand.
- The “Liking” process is a cycle, where the page must attract (visitors), engage (visitors), and generate (likes). Have The Circle of Life song play when this slide starts? *Awareness is the first step in the process of generating “Likes” (people need to know about your page, cause, organization, before they decide to “Like” your content)
- . Give away free tickets Create some buzz around the event and give away free tickets! This is a great way to build excitement and get people involved.

- Visual Storytelling is here to stay. And the businesses that know how to do this right are the ones that succeed online.
- Instagram is great to give a sense of closeness with the brand to fans. There’s nothing like seeing a friendly face on social media when you are looking at a company’s page. Customers are your brand’s greatest advocates and are a great way to tell your company’s story from the perspective of someone outside the company. Virgin America airlines is the perfect example of a company that likes to show their brand experience through Instagram. They frequently post pictures of surprises they give to their customers, where their customers are going, snapshots of their customers with celebrities including the CEO of the Virgin Group Richard Branson and shout-outs to sponsors that make their brand experience even more memorable. Use Instagram to feature your customers to facilitate and improve the connection you have with your audience. In addition to making your customers happy, you will put a face to your brand—something that is valuable for your audience.
- Adding Instagram to your event marketing mix can help you reach more people, get more people to visit your booth and increase engagement with your audience.
- Relationship building.
