Would you like to have your brand or company represented at the social media events being held this year? It’s a great way to advertise and build a loyal community geared around your brand, and many companies are sponsoring bloggers to do just that!
Why Sponsor a Blogger To Attend a Conference
- Have you considered the word-of-mouth marketing power over 2,000 conference attendees possess?
- Together, their blogs and websites reach over 80 million people every year. That’s about 7 million people a month.
- And these bloggers are some of the most well-networked people in the world. When they hear about a great product or service, they can’t help but tell their friends about it.
- According to a poll of 5,000 recent brand-sponsored event attendees, purchase intent rose 11-52% after attending such events. About 50% of the time, people actually bought things they had learned about at the events.
- The poll also found that business-to-business events are especially good for selling to potential customers. 54% of 2,000 trade show attendees reported an increase in purchase intent because of those events.
