2. Event publicity aims to generate interest in your event amongst
a wider audience than just the event's spectators and
participants. Media coverage is considered by some sponsors
to be a key component of their sponsorship deal.
3. Forming positive relationships with media personnel before
your event can assist with gaining positive coverage.
Depending on the size of your event,
suitable media management activities can include:
•Issuing a media release in the weeks leading up to your event
to generate interest
•Staging media functions within the event
•Setting up a dedicated media centre within your event site to
act as the central point for distribution of media information
•Distributing an event handbook to the media
•Making event tickets available to the media
4. When seeking publicity for your event, keep in mind the need
for your media and marketing material to grab the reader's
attention.
A good way to achieve this is to formulate a consistent theme
for your event, which should be maintained during all
promotional activities, through to the day of the event.
An event theme will help to improve your event's brand
recognition.
An event theme can be as simple as a colour, such as the
now-famous pink theme adopted for breast cancer awareness
and fundraising initiatives.
9. MEDIA AND EVENT
Media and events have become a billion dollar industry,
affecting people all over the world
Sport tournament, festivals and celebrations are being
intensively covered by the media.
Advanced media technology has made it possible to feel
close to the happening from a considerable distance.
Many event covered by media are attracting a larger
audience each year.
Events are copied , altered or held more frequently to reach a
bigger, or alternative audience.
10. WHY EVENT NEEDS
MEDIA?
1) to update event information
There are several ways to keep an audience updated. Some
are traditional like speaker systems or printed programs in
newspapers some are fairly new and sophisticated
2) to deliver relevant information throughout the full period of
event.
From the very first time the user starts considering going to
the event, past the trip and the hectic time at the site, and all
the way back home again, media (or a system) is needed in
enhancing the event experience.
11. MEDIA EXPOSURE
•Media exposure defines as: any opportunity for a reader,
viewer, or listener to see or hear an advertising message in a
particular media vehicle.
•Media exposure is an important driver of the innovation
diffusion and has a significant impact on innovators.
•Media exposure’s most powerful effect on diffusion is that it
spreads knowledge of innovations to a large audience rapidly
•Media have played major role in transforming many specific
problems into a major public issues.
•Event organizer use variety of media to communicate event
benefits to a target audience.
•For example: TV may be used for product demonstrations,
print advertisements may be used to communicate information
that is more detailed and to establish brand image, and
product packaging may be used to attract consumer at the
12. •According to DeFleur, Melvin, and Everett Dennis (1998), no
one disagreements the fact that media can help alter behavior
and beliefs.
•Important to keep in mind, however, is that most of those
effects are small and, if truly effective, accumulative. In other
words, tiny bits of information add up. Repetition of a message,
its consistency over time, and apparent corroboration can help
shift public opinion over the long-term. This process has
helped change attitudes and behavior in a variety of contexts,
some for the better, and some for the worse.
•Based on the foregoing literature, it can be argued that media
exposure is an important predictor of purchase intention (I.e.
intention to attend / revisit the event).
13. TRADITIONAL
TECHNOLOGY
One of the most common and traditional ways to reach an
audience is by using public broadcast.
1) Radio
In most countries the broadcast networks are omnipresent.
Especially radio, ever since the transistor revolution ,has been
a well functional way to reach the audience.
However, radio does not make a distinction between listeners.
This means no matte what the listeners interest is, if the
current show does not apply, she will either have to listen ,
change channel or turn the receiver off.
The radio station has to compromise to get as many listeners
as possible. the information the listener is after might simply
not beon the air at the right time.
14. 2) Television (TV)
TV suffers from the same drawbacks, as does the radio. Also
the pictures provided might be disturbing during an event, and
the receivers are still rather expensive, bulky and fragile.
3) Electronic billboards
Electronic billboards of various sorts are popular. Larger
arenas have huge screens where it is possible to display close
ups, replays, current standings etc. These screens are
unfortunately extremely expensive and no use when there is
no audience present, for instance at distributed events or
during low season
15. 4) printed media
Is the oldest information channels available. This is a cheap
and reliable way to provide the audience with plenty of
information. But the printed materials is of course not
interactive, and almost impossible to keep up to date.
16. MODERN TECHNOLOGY :
MOBILE COMMERCE (M-
COMMERCE)
Olsson & Nilsson (2002) have designed the Media Event
Platform, to use existing sources of event related information
and spread this information to the WAP (Wireless Aplicaion
Protocol), the WWW, SMS (Short message service) and the
public digital radio.
M-commerce involves the transaction of monetary value
between at least two parties for the exchange of use of a
mobile service or transaction.
19. •Social media are innovative Web-based applications in online
marketing (Kang, 2011). Companies utilize social media to
form online communities to;
(1) build new business models that include a new product
marketing channel
(2) build strong relationships with consumers by overcoming
limitations of time and place.
20. •As a new marketing channel, online communities allow event
marketers to
(a)gather information about potential or current consumers from
their profiles
(b)infer consumers‘ needs and preferences based on their
history of community usage
(c)Obtain direct replies from consumers (Sigala, 2003). Event
marketers can achieve a high level of customization by
monitoring content posted by community members and can
obtain an in-depth understanding of each consumer‘s needs,
using this information to develop new products/services. This
helps event marketers to advertise their new offerings to
targeted consumers
21. •Although social media provide companies with various social
and marketing opportunities by enabling them to build online
communities, negative outcomes may arise with regard to
privacy concerns (Spangler, Hartzel, & Gal-Or, 2006).
•Social media encourage people to provide personal
information. In some cases, however, people may fail to take
potential risks into account, such as disclosing their information
to the public. Details such as contact information, age, and
other specific information can be misused or can result in
identity theft by employees or third-party outsourced
companies (Han & Maclaurin, 2002).
22. •In order to take advantage of online community use for
marketing purposes, a company must determine its target
consumers and learn what motivates them to visit its online
community (Wang & Fesenmaier, 2004a). With the increasing
usage and popularity of online communities, most major
companies no longer question whether they should build online
communities through social media.
