The Basics of Online Event Planning

POST EVENT

So, your event has gone smoothly, and the size of the crowd indicates that you have successfully navigated online event planning. Be sure to follow up by contacting online vendors about any missing or inaccurate ticket sales information, extracting your data from any online locations, and posting event highlights/thank-you’s online. The e-mail addresses of those who attended can be valuable for future online solicitations or event announcements. A follow-up e-mail could include a link to your online event highlights, as well as advertise for any upcoming or repeat events. Remember to include people who may have inquired about the event but didn’t actually attend -- they might be even more likely to take a look at what they missed! Photo galleries, video and audio feed can add a nice touch to your highlights and usually are easy to load -- if you’ve taken digital photos or video. Lots of e-card vendors (http://www.bluemountain.com or http://vietnameses.com/ecard.htm) will allow you to send cards for free or for little cost, and often offer you the chance to upload your own graphics or photos.
