No more trouble attracting customers! 3 tips for creating events that make people think ‘I want to go!’

When you hold an event, why do you think you struggle with attracting attendees?

That's because the event itself isn't something everyone wants to attend. Also, even if the content is desirable, its appeal isn't being conveyed to everyone. It's a simple matter, isn't it?

However, despite such a simple matter, there are many people who are completely unaware of it. Isn't it true that the majority of organizers and event planners in the world don't fully grasp this reality?

Simply gathering staff and holding a run-of-the-mill event will only result in it being buried among the vast majority of other events. The kind of value that can only be obtained from that specific event isn't being created.

This time, I will talk about three things you must consider to create an event that people want to attend.

First, decide on the concept and vision that only your event possesses.

What's needed is uniqueness. Decide on a concept that people can only experience by attending your event.

There are too many events in the world that are all similar, where going to any of them makes no difference. If an event is just like many others, it's natural that there's little reason to attend.

However, in most cases, people only intuitively think, 'I want to do this kind of event,' without properly considering what they should do to convey novelty and uniqueness to people.

Events that attract people even without much effort in promotion always have a clear concept and uniqueness.

If there isn't an appeal unique to that event, the means of attracting attendees will be limited. It will either be about inviting celebrities or steadily building a community.

Furthermore, a vision of what you want to achieve through the event is also important. People empathize with someone's strong feelings and come to want to support them. If it resonates with their hearts, they empathize and are more likely to take action.

Creating a unique concept and deciding on a vision you want to aim for and achieve. Events that naturally attract people have these two elements.

Let's decide on one main project to give form to your concept and vision.

So, how should you convey your concept and vision?

The most important thing is to decide on one main highlight. There's no doubt that for any event, if there's one highlight that makes people think, 'I want to see this,' or 'I want to share this moment,' they are more likely to be interested.

Create just one main project that symbolizes your concept. If there are too many main projects, the focus will become blurred, so just one is enough. Create a project that feels like a new endeavor or looks fun, and promote it widely.

However, a project that is subtle and hard to notice, or feels tacked on, won't work. If it's a feature like 'everyone wears something on their body' or something similarly superficial, its presence will remain weak. Only with a clear project that embodies the concept and vision does it become an appeal worth promoting.

Halloween parties are fun because people dress up. Christmas parties are exciting because they have a Christmas atmosphere.

The club event called Sensation became lively because everyone wore white clothes, creating an unusual appearance, and Burning Man attracted attention for its unique worldview and the burning of human-shaped effigies.

If you search, you will notice that events you want to attend have some kind of appeal.

Carefully consider your promotion methods and get people involved.

In reality, I believe there are quite a few events that lack a strategy for promotion.

Rather, most events probably don't have a strategy and simply rely on staff calling out to people to gather them.

With this, invitation calls will increase, and it will be difficult to acquire new customers. At best, word-of-mouth from friends will probably be the limit of its spread.

Even if there are people who come every time like a community, they will eventually drift away over time, and you must also keep in mind the need to attract new customers.

By the way, how to think about promotion and customer acquisition methods is summarized in the article below.

Carefully consider your promotion methods and determine how to make customer acquisition easier. There will always be a limit to word-of-mouth or manpower-based customer acquisition. If possible, you'd want to thoroughly focus solely on the quality of planning and the event itself, without putting effort into event promotion, right?

Please refer to the article above and put it into practice.

Summary

Even if you simply call it an event, it is a product and a business. If the product or service itself lacks appeal, it will be ignored by everyone. Many people tend to forget this because so many people organize and hold events, but it is truly a business that charges money and provides a fun 'place' for someone.

If you make the event itself appealing and then properly consider promotion and customer acquisition, you will surely create methods and systems that make it easy to attract people. Creating such a system is what truly brings about a 'situation where you can concentrate on event planning'.

There's nothing sadder than working hard on customer acquisition every day and not being able to focus on the event content, which is where you should truly put your effort. First, try to create an appealing event. Beyond that, events will emerge where people naturally gather without your time being consumed solely by customer acquisition.
