Count WEBPRO Education in!
Education establishments typically run multiple events throughout the year. Sometimes these are to allow prospective students and parents get a feel for the institute up close, whereas other events may be community or sport based. As an online creative agency, you might think WEBPRO Education cannot help with these big days. But is that really true?
Can WEBPRO Education help with your events?
Yes, WEBPRO Education can assist schools, colleges and universities to promote, organise and showcase an event. We might not be able to put on a spread, but our range of services is excellently suited to open days, charity events, sporting occasions and more. Read some of the ways we can support your institution for your next event below.
Marketing the event
Market your event to make sure you get the turnout you want. You should do this in advance and use the most relevant marketing methods to have the biggest reach. If you’re trying to market to a local community online, you should consider flyers and possibly email marketing. But if you want to target an audience even further afield, social media marketing and Google Ads campaigns could be best.
WEBPRO Education boasts an in-house marketing team with the DNA for these types of projects. We know what does and doesn’t work when trying to market school events.
Manage event bookings and tickets
You might want your event attendees to register their interest or even book a free or paid ticket to attend. This can easily be done by adding relevant functionality to your website. Our web developers could add a booking portal to your site so you can keep tabs on the number of attendees and how many tickets have been sold.
Alternative ticketing methods can be inconvenient to your institution and to potential attendees. Some people might not plan on attending if they can’t guarantee their place online beforehand.
Photographers and videographers
WEBPRO Education is home to some seriously talented and experienced photographers and videographers. We can create professional-grade photos of your event to help market it in the future. Or you could consider a videographer to capture the events of the day and relay the narrative using impressive drone footage and more.
Photographers and videographers are especially beneficial for education institutions wanting to promote an open day and generate attention. They provide some professional gloss to other materials that will reference the event in the future, such as flyers, emails and your website. Contact us if you want to know more about our available professionals and these services.
Showcasing the event’s success
Whether you used our photographers and videographers or your own, we can add your event images and videos to an online gallery on your website. This gallery can act as a showcase for the event and its success, telling a story of how the day went and what was achieved.
An online gallery like this could be used to re-market the event next year, which may mean not having to invest as much in marketing services each year and therefore saving money over the long term.
An alternative way to showcase an event’s success is by uploading a blog or press release to your website. Our copywriters are on hand to craft the story of your special events.
Recap: Save-the-date events can always be found in a school, college or university calendar, whether they be open days, sporting occasions, charity dinners or something else. WEBPRO Education might not be caterers, but we can still cater for these events in our own way. We can assist by helping you market to a local or distant market, add booking and ticket functionality to your website, provide photographers and videographers and showcase the event afterwards. For further details on these event services, pick up the phone or send us an email soon.
P.S. Pick and choose the services you need for your event. You’ll never be upsold or have to commit to more than one service.
