Targeted Organic Outreach: To reach the desired audience, social media platforms were leveraged for targeted organic outreach. Strategic content and engagement techniques were employed to generate interest and drive traffic to the event.

Collaboration with Sales Department: Close collaboration with the sales department was established to define a compelling value proposition for the event. By aligning marketing and sales efforts, the messaging was refined to effectively communicate the unique benefits of attending the event.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Search engine optimization techniques were implemented to improve the event's visibility in search engine rankings. This involved optimizing relevant keywords, meta tags, and content structure to increase organic traffic and attract interested prospects.

Personalized Email Campaigns: To engage potential attendees and nurture leads, personalized email campaigns were deployed. Tailored messaging, relevant content, and personalized offers were utilized to create a sense of exclusivity and encourage registrations.

Takeaways

To fellow entrepreneurs or product professionals: consider cultivating a culture of experimentation - it is never too soon to test and validate your assumptions. Feel free to see my comprehensive hypothesis testing and validation study.

Consider adopting a vertical growth model - I focused too much on what else we could do in the first years instead of amplifying what we did best.
‍
Lastly, beware of "technical/management debt" - short-term decisions are normal but often come with long-term impacts. So consider setting aside a day to tighten up loose ends.
