SayPro Pre-Event Marketing Plan

SayPro Pre-Event Marketing Plan: Invitations & Marketing Materials

Objective: The goal is to begin sending invitations and marketing materials to potential attendees by December 22, 2025. This will ensure sufficient time for recipients to review the information, register, and prepare for participation in SayPro’s upcoming events, training programs, or initiatives.

Steps for Pre-Event Marketing:

1. Finalize Event Details:
   • Confirm all event details, including the date, time, location (physical or virtual), agenda, and any other important information that potential attendees need to know.
   • Prepare all key selling points or benefits that potential attendees will gain by attending the event or training session (e.g., skill development, networking opportunities, exclusive content).
2. Create Marketing Materials:
   • Design the Invitations: Ensure the invitations are visually appealing and match SayPro’s branding. The design should include the event title, date, time, location, and a clear CTA (call-to-action) directing recipients to the registration page.
   • Additional Marketing Materials: Create complementary materials such as:
     • Event brochures or PDFs outlining session topics and speakers.
     • Social media graphics, banners, and hashtags.
     • A landing page on the website with more detailed event information.
     • Promotional email templates.
     • Testimonial or success story content to showcase past attendees’ experiences (if applicable).
3. Segment the Audience:
   • Identify and segment your target audience for the event. This could include:
     • Internal employees who are invited to attend.
     • External clients, partners, and prospects who may benefit from attending.
     • Industry influencers and potential brand advocates.
   • Tailor the marketing message for each group, ensuring relevance and personalization in your approach.
4. Prepare the Email Campaign:
   • Draft and personalize the invitation email with engaging subject lines and compelling messaging that encourage recipients to register. Include:
     • Event overview and agenda.
     • Clear instructions on how to register (link to the registration page).
     • Any early-bird or limited-time incentives (if applicable).
     • Information about speakers, guest speakers, or key highlights.
     • Social proof or testimonials from past attendees (if available).
   • Ensure that the email is mobile-friendly and that all links, including the registration button, are easily accessible.
   • Include a reminder sequence: Plan for follow-up emails to be sent periodically (e.g., 1 week before, 3 days before, etc.) to remind potential attendees about registration deadlines and event details.
5. Launch Social Media Campaign:
   • Create a social media calendar and begin posting event-related content across SayPro’s official platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.).
   • Include:
     • Event teasers (images, countdowns, sneak peeks).
     • Hashtags and taglines specific to the event (e.g., #SayProTraining2025).
     • Interactive content like polls or Q&As to engage the audience and generate excitement.
   • Encourage employees, partners, and stakeholders to share posts to broaden the reach of the event.
6. Coordinate with Sales & Partnerships Teams:
   • Ensure that the sales and partnerships teams are aware of the event and encourage them to invite relevant prospects and clients.
   • Share specific call-to-action and details on how they can invite attendees and follow up with prospects who may benefit from the event.
   • Provide them with email templates and social media content they can use to promote the event.
7. Schedule Paid Advertising (If Applicable):
   • If applicable, create paid advertisements to target potential attendees who may be outside the current customer base. This could involve:
     • Google Ads.
     • LinkedIn Sponsored Content.
     • Facebook or Instagram ads.
   • Ensure that the ads direct users to the registration page and include key event information.
8. Create a Landing Page for Registration:
   • Ensure the event landing page is up-to-date with all relevant information, including the agenda, speakers, and any necessary materials for attendees to download (e.g., a course syllabus or pre-event reading).
   • The landing page should include a clear registration form with all necessary fields and an easy-to-use process for attendees to sign up.
9. Monitor and Adjust:
   • Track engagement with the invitations and marketing materials to gauge interest and registration numbers.
   • Adjust the messaging, design, or strategy if any initial marketing materials are underperforming or not resonating with the audience.
   • Ensure that all questions or inquiries from potential attendees are answered promptly.

Timeline for Pre-Event Marketing:

• December 15-18, 2025: Finalize all event details, create marketing materials (invitations, flyers, social media posts, email templates), and segment your audience.
• December 19-21, 2025: Review all materials, test emails, and prepare your internal teams for the launch. Ensure that the registration page is fully functional.
• December 22, 2025: Begin sending invitations and marketing materials to potential attendees via email, social media, and any other chosen channels.
• December 23-30, 2025: Continue follow-up email campaigns, social media posts, and promotions to encourage late sign-ups.
• January 2025 (Post-launch): Continue monitoring engagement and send out reminder emails, while making adjustments as necessary to keep the registration momentum going.

Final Goal: By December 22, 2025, begin the comprehensive pre-event marketing campaign for SayPro’s upcoming event. This will include sending personalized invitations, distributing marketing materials, and leveraging social media and email to drive awareness, engagement, and registrations for the event.
