Creating Buzz for Your Fall Event

Seasonal events are a great way to generate interest and revenue, especially if your industry experiences seasonal lulls in sales. A great fall event can really set your company up going into the holiday season. There are many possible themes for fall events, and proper signage can really tie your event together and strengthen your brand.

Seasonal events do not mean that you should abandon your brand colors entirely, but it is OK to put them on the backburner for seasonal marketing materials. Still include your logo and any coloration that it may entail, but feel free to embrace the season and any theme you may decide upon. Engaging promotional materials are one of the most essential ways to create buzz for your events. Engagement begins with design. Some typical fall colors include dark yellows, browns, and oranges. Reds can also be mixed in, and even potentially deep, dark greens. All of these colors evoke the shifting leaves of fall and the season's nature of change.

This nature of change makes a great conceptual focal point for many fall events. In the HVAC and clothing industries, fall represents a shift in stock because of the declining temperatures. A fall event is a good time to offer a deal on old stock. Advertising a large sale at your fall event is a great way to introduce consumers to your other, non-sale products. Don't push them away from the discounts, but make sure you're showcasing your other offerings as well. The attention you capture at your event can lead to long-term customers that benefit your business well after the event is over.

If you have engaging designs and a great reason for people to come to your event, the next step is to make sure they know about. Your event should be featured heavily in the signage at your business to inform existing customers of when it is. An outdoor banner and window signs are a good combination for reaching the traffic outside your location. Ask local businesses that you have a rapport with if you can post small signs on their windows. Be sure to return the favor when they have an event. If you partner with strong brands in this way, then you can both benefit from the relationship. Be sure you don't ignore digital advertising. Promoting your event on social media is a great way to generate word of mouth interest.

A fall event is a great chance for you to find new customers and strengthen your relationship with current ones. A well-promoted event can improve your customer base and revenues, and a well-executed event will improve your reputation. We hope your fall event is a huge success!
