Event Promotion Timeline & Checklist


I'm working on materials for my presentation at Mission & Ministry next week...

While I'm at it, I thought I'd share this resource with you.

Have you ever sat down to formulate a plan for promoting an upcoming event and thought...

"Where should I begin?"

Then... you get overwhelmed by all of your options, procrastinate, and end up throwing $30 at Facebook 6 days out from the event?

This timeline & checklist was written to infuse a little more intention and strategy into that process.

You'll see a lot on here. Not all of it applies to every event, of course. But—it's my hope that you print it out, get out your red pen, pick out a few new ideas, cross some stuff off, and be left with a timely, thorough promotional plan.

Questions about anything on the doc? Just reply!

Until next week,

Don't go digital for digital's sake. Go digital for the humans on the other side of the screen. Here are 10 ways that the internet intersects with traditional Word of Mouth interactions. 1) Write stuff that makes sense to share publicly. If someone reposts your graphic on their Instagram story, they, in essence, just sent that sentiment to each of their 500 followers. Take a look at this Instagram account. Pastors write enough content to create something along these lines—and, yet, many...
