The simplest way to create social buzz and increase attendance is by creating a specialized hashtag. Make sure your hashtag isn’t too wordy. Try your best to keep it short, engaging, relevant, and unique. You should ensure that the attendees have no trouble tweeting or using it to caption their Instagram posts.

You can promote the hashtag on your event website, social networks, and dedicated emails. The hashtag can create excellent opportunities for all participants to engage with guest speakers. It will allow you to see how well your event is doing and get relevant feedback in real-time.

Schedule Relevant Social Media Posts in Advance

Planning an event can be quite stressful, and it’s hard not to miss a few key details. When you’re too occupied making sure everything’s going according to plan, you may not have the time to cover your event on social media. You need to post updates about the event to let the world know what they’re missing.

You can create relevant posts with a few images and videos to hype your event. Feel free to toss in a couple of catchy hashtags, and schedule them to social media platforms as well. Hootsuite is a fantastic tool you can use for this purpose.
