Mastering the Art of Event Press Release Format: Best Practices and Tips
Event press releases are a great way to help promote your event and get the word out. They’re also a good way to market yourself as an expert on your industry or topic, which can help you land new clients. In this post, we’ll cover everything from crafting a compelling headline to using relevant content that keeps readers interested in reading more about what happened at your event.
Understanding the Basics of an Event Press Release
Event press releases are short, concise and to the point. They contain information about an event that has just occurred. An event is something like a wedding, business conference or concert; it can be something small like your company’s annual golf outing or large scale like the opening of an amusement park. The purpose of an event press release is to inform people about what happened at this particular event so they know where they can find out more information about it in future. To write one effectively you should make sure you understand everything from start to finish before starting on your project!
Crafting an Attention-Grabbing Headline
The headline is the most important part of any press release. It should be short, to-the-point and unique—but not too long or wordy. The first two sentences should focus on what your organization does for business owners, while the last sentence should serve as a hook that grabs readers’ attention with information about where they can learn more about your company and its products or services.
For example: “Our company has been helping small businesses succeed since 2010.”
We recommend using one of these headlines when crafting yours:
Writing a Compelling Lead
Writing a compelling lead is one of the most important steps in creating an effective press release. The key to writing a good lead is to keep it short, snappy and to the point. You want your readers to be able to read the entire release without putting it down or getting distracted by other things on their desks.
Here are some tips for making sure that happens:
-
Use active verbs instead of passive ones (e.g., “is forced” rather than “forced”).
-
Get specific about what happened (e.g., “The company announced its quarterly earnings today” vs “The company reported earnings”).
-
Be concise—don’t waste space with unnecessary words or phrases (e.g., “a new product line,” instead of “new products”). If something needs further explanation, then offer some additional details within parentheses after your main point(s). For example: * “Company X has launched an innovative new product line that includes…” would work better than * “Company X recently launched its latest innovation – XYZ – which allows users…
Focusing on the Facts
When writing an event press release, it’s important to focus on the facts. Your reader needs to know what is happening and what their role is in it.
-
What is happening?
-
What is the problem?
-
What is the solution?
-
How will this benefit them (your target audience)?
If you can explain these concepts in just a few sentences each, then you’ve done well!
Creating a Call to Action
The call to action is the central focus of your press release events. It’s what you’re asking people to do by reading or watching your story, so it should be easy for them to understand and act upon, whether that means clicking on links or downloading an app. The best way for you as the author of this article (and all others like it) is to stick with tried-and-true practices when crafting yours:
-
Be clear and concise! You don’t have time for anything else! Your readers are busy people who have probably already spent too much time trying not only read but also deciphering articles from other sources that might contain questionable information or language problems—so don’t make things any harder than they already are by making things unclear before they even get started reading. This goes double if there’s any chance someone might be reading through multiple documents at once while they’re waiting around in line somewhere because they forgot their wallet; otherwise known as “poorly written prose.”
Including Contact Information
Include a phone number. The most important contact information is your phone number and email address, which should be included in the first paragraph of your press release on events. You can also include links to social media and other websites like LinkedIn or Facebook if you want to promote yourself even more!
If you’re sending out an article that’s not published yet, consider including a link to some other type of content (like an e-book) so people know what they’ll get when they click on it—this way they know exactly what they’re getting before opening the file itself!
If possible, try adding links to multiple aspects of your business: sales page, opt-in page—whatever suits bests each situation at hand; but keep them short enough so as not take up too much space onscreen during reading time (which would defeat purpose).
Formatting for Readability
-
Use a friendly tone.
-
Use active voice.
-
Use short sentences and paragraphs, which are easier to read on a smartphone screen than long ones that go on and on without purpose or relevance.
-
Make sure you use the same style throughout your press release (for example, if you’re using Times New Roman font in all of your text). This can help people recognize that they’ve seen this before, which makes it more likely that they’ll be interested in reading it again later on their phones or computers!
Measuring the Success of Your Event Press Release
When it comes to measuring the success of your post event press release, there are a number of tools you can use.
-
Google Analytics: This tool is free and allows you to track how many people have viewed your event pages. You’ll also be able to see how long they stay on each page, as well as which sections of those pages had more traffic than others. The data from this tool will allow you to identify areas where there may be room for improvement in order to increase conversions and improve user experience on those pages.
-
Mixpanel: This tool makes tracking analytics easy because it’s built into the platform itself—no extra page creation required! Using Mixpanel is like having an advanced analytics dashboard right at your fingertips without having any technical knowledge whatsoever (and even if someone else knows how something works internally). It provides real-time insights into what visitors are doing while using their websites/apps/etc., including things like time spent per session (how much attention did someone give), bounce rates by source type (a bounce rate measures when someone leaves after visiting only once but doesn’t return), etc.
