SUMMER EVENTS - FETES - FUNDAYS - FESTIVALS
STEP4. PROMOTING
On the internet Millions of individuals search the internet search engines every day of the
week, obviously not everyone of them is looking for an event to visit at the
weekend, but those that are, are not in most cases searching for just for the
fun of it. They are looking with the intention of finding something to do or
visit at the weekend. If they come across your website that means only one
thing, more visitors to your summer event and more funds being raised for your
charity or good cause.
A very affordable way to gain exposure for
your summer event on the internet is to have a small website built. A single
page website, hosting, domain name registration and search engine submission can
be purchased for less than £150 from
villagefetes.net. If
you are looking for a really professional finish, want to give a really good
impression and encourage visitors to your event, always have your web pages
professionally built and optimised for search engines.
Your domain name (website address) can then be
added to your promotional stationery and event programs. This could offer your
visitors a place where they can read more about next years event plus other
events you may hold, learn about the charity you were raising money for, look at
images of the day, provide valuable feed back and comments about the event etc
etc. You could also include pages where notices can be placed for committee
members and up to date contact information. A website provides endless
opportunities to help promote your event.
