Back to Tactics
Multi-Channel Event Promotion

Layer digital campaigns with physical touchpoints for maximum reach and engagement

Why It Works

Physical mail cuts through digital noise and creates memorable moments that increase event attendance and engagement

Prerequisites

Email list of registered event attendeesBudget for physical materials and postageAbility to coordinate timing across channels

How to Execute

1

Collect physical addresses during digital registration

2

Send postcards or letters 5-7 days before event

3

Include QR codes linking back to digital channels

4

Follow up with SMS and email reminders

5

Track attendance differences between mail and digital-only recipients

When It Fails

When physical mail timing is off, when audience finds it intrusive, or when cost doesn't justify the attendance lift

Real Example

Online summit sends branded postcards to all 5000 registrants one week before the event, resulting in 15% higher attendance rate and $50K additional revenue from increased participation.
