In person interaction enables hosts to speak directly to the target audience through a two-way communication. In this way, we build trust and a rapport with our potential clients. Hence, an ongoing relationship with attendees is more likely to increase and build customer loyalty.
What are the benefits and drawbacks to holding events?
Benefits
Attendees gain confidence with knowing the genuineness of the company
Some events can take place virtually. This means that several people around the world can participate without having to take travel and accommodation costs into consideration.
Fashion designers are able to have runway shows that will be televised and shared all over social media. Even after the event takes place, major recognition will be drawn for the brand. In particularly amongst influencers and celebrities, who may wish to collaborate on social media apps such as tiktok and instagram.
Events allow for trial and error to take place and possibly experiment with customers with a smaller gathering to discover their dislikes. Utilising constructive criticism, will make the second event refined, better and available to a larger amount of people.
Drawbacks
The cost of hosting an event seems daunting to upcoming companies that have low initial investment available to spare
There is a limit to the maximum number of people who can come and sometimes the event might not cater to a huge amount of guests. Thus this could cause a lot to miss out. In addition, if the event can’t take place virtually, even more people won’t attend it.
The reputation of the company is at risk. Therefore, making sure that the event will be fairly effective is significant to avoid major negative media projection. Although you have complete control, there are many uncontrollable factors that can harm your reputation when it comes to events.
The energy and time that is put into planning, marketing, and carrying out a hosted event needs a lot more thought than you might anticipate. If this is something you would like to delegate to an external company contact us for more information Info@visionfactory.org.
Why should a company organize or participate in events?
