The Best Social Media Tips for Meeting Planners

In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

Social media is a great way for event planners to promote their events or meetings. Check out our tips on how to choose the right social network for you!

November 9, 2022

When planning a corporate trip or meeting, visuals play a key role in engaging your audience and helping them commit to attending.

Social media networks such as Facebook and Instagram are great tools for meeting planners because they emphasize attention-grabbing photographs and videos that can help attendees visualize destinations and get them excited about their visit. 

Meeting in Gulf Shores

Facebook and Instagram are also important assets to get your potential attendees talking about and sharing about the event. Links to activities and community guides help them learn more about all you have planned. Combine your efforts with our Meeting Planner Marketing Toolkit to create a powerful social media campaign. Also be sure to check out our social media tips for meeting planners. 

When choosing the best social network for promoting your gathering, you must consider who you wish to reach. TikTok videos made of short clips of the surrounding area and activities are ideal for engaging younger audiences. Many businesses utilize TikTok and Instagram reels to appeal to younger professionals and keep track of today’s trends.

Team up with other companies or potential clients by harnessing the power of LinkedIn and Twitter. Consider, though, how long you want your message to circulate - studies have shown that the information will last longer on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Use LinkedIn Groups for business events to help you successfully network with like-minded individuals. Twitter has a large reach, but trending tweets tend to fade after a few days, so more frequent posts may be necessary. Check out our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. 

It’s time to start planning for your next meeting! Let us help you create a social media strategy to help make your meeting a success.
