In a world where social media is constantly evolving and changing, it can be difficult for event marketers to know where to start or what to do next in this relatively new medium. However, there is no question that social media has fundamentally shifted the way people find and digest information about events. Just think – you used to get information about the event industry through magazines, newspapers and posted-and-stamped invitations to conferences and tradeshows. Now, you read industry updates on LinkedIn, Twitter and the Event Manager Blog.
The ROI dilemma
No matter how basic or advanced your knowledge of social media, one question that still plagues social media marketers is “What am I getting out of all this?”. Or, in other words, what is the return on my investment in social media? Fortunately, our industry has an easy answer to the ROI question, because we have a universal goal: to drive registration and attendance to our events.
