SayPro Tasks to Be Done for the Period: Week 2

Goal: Have all initial content ready for the first round of promotions

In Week 2, the goal is to ensure that all initial promotional content is ready for the first round of event promotions. This includes finalizing content for social media, email campaigns, and paid advertisements that will kick off the promotional efforts for the event. Below is a breakdown of the tasks required to accomplish this:

1. Finalizing Social Media Content

The first round of social media promotions is critical to build momentum and raise awareness. The content must be compelling and ready to go across all planned platforms.

a. Create Engaging Visuals

Design Graphics: Ensure the creation of high-quality visuals for social media posts, stories, and ads.
- Event Posters: Include key details (date, location, speakers, etc.) in a visually appealing design.
- Teaser Videos: Short, captivating videos that generate excitement around the event.
- Speaker Spotlights: Graphics highlighting keynote speakers or presenters.
- Countdown Graphics: Start using countdown posts for event reminders.

b. Write Captivating Copy

Event Announcement Post: Craft a post announcing the event with the key event details and a strong call to action (CTA) for registration.
Teaser Posts: Create engaging content to build anticipation and interest (e.g., “Coming soon,” “Save the date,” “Exclusive sneak peek”).
Engagement Posts: Plan interactive content like polls, questions, and countdowns to engage the audience and encourage sharing.

c. Scheduling and Calendar Setup

Plan Posting Frequency: Schedule posts 3-4 times a week in the weeks leading up to the event.
Set Up Posting Times: Use tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout Social to schedule posts at optimal times based on audience activity.

2. Finalizing Email Campaign Content

Email campaigns are key for engaging existing contacts and driving registration. This content must be personalized and designed to encourage immediate action.

a. Craft Email Content

Introductory Email:
- Subject Line: Engaging and urgent (e.g., “Don’t Miss Our Upcoming Event – Register Now!”).
- Body Content: A brief yet compelling introduction to the event, including who, what, where, and why people should attend.
- CTA: Clear call-to-action, directing recipients to the event registration page.
Event Reminder Email(s):
- Timely Reminders: Create at least 1-2 reminder emails (e.g., “2 weeks left to register” or “Last chance to secure your spot”).
- Highlight Event Features: Mention specific highlights such as key speakers, special guests, or exclusive sessions.
- Include Social Proof: Testimonials from previous events or speaker quotes.

b. Design Email Templates

Visually Appealing Design: Include event branding, clear CTAs, and a responsive layout for mobile users.
Personalization: Ensure dynamic elements (like addressing the recipient by name) are used to increase engagement.

c. Email Automation

Use email marketing platforms like Mailchimp, SendGrid, or HubSpot to set up automated sequences.
- Initial welcome email (upon registration) and follow-up reminders.
- Test & Segment Emails: Run A/B tests on subject lines or CTAs to optimize engagement.

3. Finalizing Paid Ad Content

Paid advertisements are key for reaching a wider audience, and creating engaging ad content is essential for driving registrations and engagement.

a. Design Ad Creatives

Ad Visuals: Create eye-catching ads with visuals that match the branding for the event (e.g., posters, graphics, speaker images).
Video Ads: Short teaser videos (15-30 seconds) highlighting event features, speakers, and benefits of attending.
Display Ads: Banner ads or carousel ads for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Google, and LinkedIn.

b. Craft Compelling Ad Copy

Headline: Short, engaging headlines that convey urgency (e.g., “Don’t Miss Out! Register Now” or “Limited Spots Left!”).
Body Copy: Focus on the unique value proposition (e.g., networking opportunities, expert speakers, exclusive content).
CTA: Clear and concise calls-to-action (e.g., “Sign Up Now,” “Get Your Ticket Today”).

c. Set Up Paid Campaigns

Platform-Specific Ads: Ensure ads are set up for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google.
- Target Audience: Set up detailed targeting (location, interests, behaviors) for relevant demographics.
- Budget & Bidding: Allocate budgets for paid campaigns and set bidding strategies based on campaign goals (e.g., CPC, CPM).

d. Schedule Ads

Schedule the first round of paid ads to begin based on the established timeline.
- Pre-Event Ads: Run ads that target both existing followers and new prospects.
- Retargeting Ads: Set up retargeting ads to reach users who have interacted with the event landing page or social media but haven’t registered yet.

4. Proofreading, Review, and Approvals

Before going live with any promotional content, ensure that all materials are thoroughly reviewed for accuracy, consistency, and alignment with the event goals.

a. Proofread All Content

Check for Errors: Ensure that there are no spelling, grammatical, or factual errors in the copy, images, and links.
Consistency: Make sure the tone, style, and event details are consistent across all channels (social media, email, ads).

b. Stakeholder Approvals

Review with Key Teams: Get final approval from marketing, event coordinators, and any other key stakeholders.
Legal or Compliance Check: Ensure there are no compliance issues, especially with paid ads or external partnerships.

5. Final Scheduling and Launch

Once all content has been created, proofed, and approved, begin scheduling the first round of promotions.

a. Social Media Scheduling

Use tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout Social to schedule posts in advance.
Ensure posts are evenly spaced and match the established posting frequency.

b. Email Campaign Setup

Set the automated sequence for email campaigns in your chosen platform (e.g., Mailchimp, HubSpot).
Double-check timing to ensure emails are sent at the optimal time for engagement.

c. Paid Ads Setup

Finalize ad setup in platforms like Facebook Ads Manager, Google Ads, or LinkedIn Campaign Manager.
Set ad start and end dates and confirm that the ad budgets are allocated appropriately.

6. Monitoring and Adjusting (Ongoing)

Once content goes live, it’s essential to monitor performance and make adjustments if necessary.

Track Engagement: Use analytics tools to track the performance of social media posts, emails, and ads.
Optimize Based on Results: Make adjustments to the content or ad targeting if the results are below expectations (e.g., changing headlines, altering target audience).

This includes social media posts, email campaigns, and paid advertisements, all scheduled and optimized for launch.
