Once you’ve established a solid event marketing plan for your business, working an event or two into your promotional schedule is an excellent way to build brand awareness, attract new customer segments, increase community involvement and (most important) garner positive publicity.

Planning an event can be an excellent way to promote your business. Try to design your event so that it will catch people's interest. 

Most of the time, events seem to run like clockwork with all events flowing smoothly according to schedule. In reality however, much groundwork has been worked on with the purpose of developing the right atmosphere in addition to a beneficial experience to guests and participants.

Launch

It is required for the MWS Country Rep to organize a Yearly Launch.

It can be any launch of new MWS products and/or services: ‘New Product Release’. As part of your responsibility as the MWS Country Rep, you are required to organize at least one launch a year, it keeps the pace towards continuous search for improvement and new ideas. MWS Clients will perceive MWS as a progressive brand to be reckon with.

It is an event to officially launch the product/service. It is a good opportunity to invite as many people as possible to present the product, speak about it and answer to questions. 

Leverage this event by inviting the Press, Corporate clients, Partners and potentials to experience MiniWorkshopSeries Culture and its product and services.

Coupled with an online launch; it will allow you to reach as many people as possible without restrictions, like for example space in case of a physical launch. Since there is no meeting with the people interested, the online product presentation must perfectly clear: description, pictures and encourage people to want to know more. It creates a momentum and interests. First, emails are sent to inform people about the launch, then they can refer to the website for more information. 

Some people, having little time, might not go to the webpage. It is also good to incite them to have a look with a parallel event like a prize winning. This could be a good mean to encourage them to visit the webpage.

To maximize the impact of the launch, the key is excellent marketing. Indeed a launch with a bad marketing campaign is not a launch, but just a release. It is recommended to use all the media you possess: email campaign, blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
