The Event Is Over, and Now It’s Just You and Some Leftover Cookies. What’s Next?

The last attendee has left, the decorations are down, and you are finally ready to put your feet up and enjoy a leftover cookie…or maybe an adult beverage or two.

After months of planning, coordinating vendors, and answering approximately 4,000 questions, your event is officially over. Time to relax…right?

Not so fast! Foxie knows that the event may be over, but the opportunity to build lasting relationships is just getting started. What happens after the event can be just as important as what happens during it.

Click to read the full article for four tips on how to keep the conversation going after the last name badge has been tossed and people are on their way home.

  1. Say thank you – Send attendees, speakers, sponsors, and vendors a thank-you message. A little appreciation goes a long way toward building relationships and encouraging people to participate in your next event.
  2. Collect feedback – Send a short survey asking what worked and what could be improved. Honest feedback helps you make future events even better. Don’t take it personally when someone’s only feedback was, “The coffee was cold and there weren’t enough chocolate-covered doughnuts; I only had three.”
  3. Share pictures and resources – Give attendees access to event photos, presentation materials, useful links, and important takeaways. These resources extend the value of your event long after everyone heads home.
  4. Make communication easier – With LinkMy.Events, you will keep attendees, vendors, speakers, and staff connected and engaged with centralized information. Use it to help people stay informed throughout the entire event experience, not just on event day.

Foxie knows that a successful event shouldn’t be a one-day conversation. It’s an opportunity to build connections, strengthen relationships, and give people a reason to come back. Following up shows attendees that you value their participation…not just their registration fees!

Are you ready to keep the connections going? LinkMy.Events will help you discover how easier communications can help you stay connected with your audience before, during, and after your next event. Because the best events don’t just create memories…they create relationships that last!
