Achieving a 30% post-event conversion rate—meaning that at least 30% of attendees sign up for future events or educational programs—is a key metric for building long-term engagement and ensuring the sustainability of your events and programs. This conversion is crucial because it not only indicates that attendees found value in the event but also reflects their trust and willingness to continue learning and engaging with your organization.
Below is a detailed strategy for achieving this post-event conversion target.
1. Post-Event Conversion Overview
Target Conversion Rate:
- Target Rate: 30% of event attendees convert to future events or educational programs
Key Metrics for Conversion:
- Sign-ups: Track the number of people who sign up for future events, webinars, or courses after attending the current event.
- Engagement in Follow-up Content: Measure how many attendees download or access additional content (e.g., recorded sessions, study materials) post-event, as this can be an indicator of interest in further learning opportunities.
- Inquiries or Applications: Count the number of participants who inquire about or apply for other programs, memberships, or services following the event.
2. Strategies to Achieve 30% Post-Event Conversion
Achieving a high conversion rate requires a combination of targeted post-event actions and strategies to keep attendees engaged with your content, community, and future offerings.
A. Pre-Event Strategies (Lay the Foundation)
- Build Anticipation for Future Events
- Announce Upcoming Events Early: During the event, mention upcoming events and programs that would be valuable for attendees. Be clear about the topics, value, and learning outcomes.
- Provide Early-Bird Offers: For attendees who sign up for future events at the event itself, offer discounts or exclusive offers.
- Personalized Invitations and Content
- Targeted Invitations: Based on the attendee’s behavior during the current event (e.g., which sessions they attended or engaged with), send personalized invitations to future events or programs that match their interests.
- Promote Educational Programs: If your organization offers educational courses, certifications, or memberships, promote them during the event. Offer attendees a sneak peek or trial of what the programs offer.
B. During the Event
- Highlight Future Opportunities Throughout the Event
- Speaker Promotion: Have speakers or facilitators talk about future events or programs that they are involved in or related to the current topic.
- Session Teasers: During each session, briefly introduce the benefits of continuing education or advanced sessions. This could be done as part of a “next steps” slide at the end of each session.
- Engage Attendees with Future Value: Create engagement opportunities during the event that require signing up for future activities (e.g., a mini-course, a follow-up Q&A session).
- Event Exclusive Offers
- Event-Only Deals: Provide exclusive offers or access to your educational programs or upcoming events only for current attendees. For example, VIP access, early registration, or discount codes.
- Interactive Calls to Action
- Promote Sign-ups: Place calls-to-action (CTAs) throughout the event to encourage attendees to sign up for future events. These CTAs can be integrated into virtual event platforms, registration pages, or in-person on screens or event materials.
- Create FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Use language that emphasizes limited-time offers for future events or exclusive access to early bird registration.
C. Post-Event Follow-Up Strategies
- Timely and Personalized Email Campaigns
- Immediate Thank You Email: Send a personalized thank you email to attendees right after the event, expressing appreciation for their participation. In this email, include:
- A recap of the event with key highlights.
- A link to the event recording and additional resources.
- A clear CTA for signing up for future events or programs.
“Thank you for attending [Event Name]! We hope you found the content valuable. Ready to take your learning to the next level? Check out our upcoming courses and programs designed just for you!”
- Immediate Thank You Email: Send a personalized thank you email to attendees right after the event, expressing appreciation for their participation. In this email, include:
- Follow-Up Educational Content
- Send follow-up content such as recorded sessions, slides, webinars, and reading materials related to the event. Include CTAs prompting attendees to explore more or sign up for related upcoming programs.
- Segmented Email Lists Based on Event Behavior
- Based on the topics or sessions attendees engaged with, segment your email lists to send them more relevant information about specific future events or programs.
- For instance, if someone attended a session on leadership, follow up with emails promoting advanced leadership workshops, certifications, or related educational resources.
- Offer Special Incentives for Conversion
- Discounts or Coupons: Offer a special discount for future events or programs if they sign up within a certain timeframe (e.g., 15% off for those who sign up within 48 hours after the event).
- Exclusive Content: Offer access to exclusive materials (e.g., a deep-dive workshop, VIP session, etc.) for those who sign up for upcoming programs or events.
D. Ongoing Engagement Post-Event
- Create Community Engagement Opportunities
- Invite attendees to join a community group (e.g., Slack channel, LinkedIn group, or forum) where they can continue discussions, network with other attendees, and access exclusive content.
- Use the community to promote future events and offer discounts or early access to members who engage actively.
- Launch a Drip Campaign for Future Events
- Build a drip email campaign that starts right after the event and gradually introduces attendees to other learning opportunities.
- Use the first email to offer free content, followed by further emails with information about upcoming events, educational programs, and success stories from previous participants.
- Feedback Request
- Send a post-event survey that includes a question about whether they are interested in attending future events or programs. Use this as an opportunity to personally invite respondents to sign up for your next event or offer them a special incentive for enrolling.
“Would you be interested in learning more about advanced topics in [event subject]? If yes, check out our upcoming educational programs!”
E. Leverage Social Proof and Testimonials
- Share Testimonials from Previous Attendees
- In your post-event communication, include testimonials from previous attendees who found significant value in signing up for your future programs. Real-world success stories and experiences help build trust.
- Case Studies and Success Stories
- Showcase case studies or success stories from participants who took part in your educational programs and saw measurable improvements in their careers or businesses. Use these stories to build credibility and encourage others to join.
- Social Media Promotion
- Encourage attendees to share their experience on social media using event hashtags. Highlight their posts on your social media channels, which can encourage others to convert to future programs.
“Loved our event? Don’t miss out on what’s next! Check out our upcoming workshops for deeper insights and learning. Click here to join!”
3. Tools and Technology for Post-Event Conversion
To efficiently track and boost your post-event conversion rate, leverage the following tools:
A. Email Marketing Platforms
- Use platforms like Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, or HubSpot to automate email sequences and track engagement with the follow-up emails.
- Track the open rates, click-through rates, and conversions (sign-ups) from your follow-up campaigns.
B. Event Platforms with CRM Integration
- Platforms like Whova, Eventbrite, or Hopin offer integrations with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) to track attendee behavior and segment follow-up communication.
- Track attendee interactions and tailor follow-up messages based on engagement during the event.
C. Social Media & Engagement Tools
- Use social media tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout Social to schedule posts and track engagement around post-event promotions.
4. Tracking and Measuring Post-Event Conversion
A. Conversion Metrics
Track the following metrics to measure the effectiveness of your post-event conversion efforts:
- Conversion Rate: Percentage of attendees who sign up for future events or programs.
- Sign-up Growth: Compare the number of new sign-ups before, during, and after the event.
- Engagement Rate: Percentage of people engaging with follow-up emails, content, and CTAs.
B. Conversion Funnel
Consider the conversion funnel for each attendee:
- Awareness: Event awareness and interest.
- Consideration: Engagement with content, CTAs, and offers.
- Action: The actual sign-up for future programs.
Measure how many attendees move from one stage to the next, and refine your messaging to drive higher conversion rates.
