How does it feel to spend days, weeks or even months trying your very best to plan the "perfect* event, only to find out that next to no one actually shows up on-time -- or never at all?
Yet, it's happening right now to thousands of Campus Event Programmers across the nation...
Don't you wish there was some way to ensure that ALL of your events are completely jam-packed so full of people, they'd almost have to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to watch the show you've worked so hard to put together?
Well, there is a way...
What if you could instantly increase your event attendance by a whopping 75% -- just by reading this invaluable article?
You'd probably devour the information I'm about to share with you, wouldn't you?
Well, you'll want to read every word of this article right now, because you're going to learn FIVE new and exciting techniques, secrets and methods that you can immediately put to use that will instantly increase the attendance for your every event -- without costing you a dime.
First of all, let's take a look at the promotional methods most event programmers use right now to advertise their events...
According to our survey of 1,497 Campus Event Programmers across the U.S., it is estimated that 98.3% of all event programmers currently use one of these three main promotional tactics to advertise their every event. They are:
1. Delivering Flyers
2. Placing Posters
3. Setting up Table Tents Around Campus
They also set "attendance goals", being a certain amount of people they hope to draw in to the event. But here's a sad fact...
Our survey revealed that over 69% of all campus event programmers actually failed to meet attendance goals for their events. And even worse, two out of three told us they didn't even reach 50% of their intended goal!
There's definitely something wrong here. Sixty-Nine Percent of all Programmers did NOT even reach their attendance goal. So, what could this mean? -- Could it be that they're just not using every available method to get the word out and draw in their intended audience?
You're right. They're actually using less than one-third of the promotional power they could be using as we speak...
There are five keys to stellar success -- here's how we do it...

Let's take a look at some other promotional methods that could help you dramatically increase your attendance, reach -- and even surpass your intended goal...
New Promotional Method #1: Use Teaser Performances to Turbo-Charge Your Events!
So you've booked a celebrity speaker or entertainer for your event, and you want to make absolutely sure that your event is as jam-packed as possible... Here's one secret technique that many of the most successful event programmers use -- and with astonishing results...
Get your speaker or entertainer to do a few "mini-performances" around certain areas of your campus that get the most traffic of people. This will cause many students who may have not been aware of the event to stop dead in their tracks and take notice -- it will also cause them to spread the word about your event to their friends and colleagues, using *the* most powerful form of advertising ever discovered...
Word-of-Mouth Advertising.
Once students actually see your speaker or entertainer in action, they're going to tell everyone they know about it, and before you know it -- you'll have a virtual stampede of students rushing in to see what all the fuss is about...
This will cut the time you need to get the word out about your event in half and will fill the seats to maximum capacity -- in record time!
New Promotional Method #2: Use College Radio to Your Advantage!
Do you have a campus radio station?
Can you imagine how many students could be listening intently to that radio station, who would definitely want to attend your event, but may not have heard about it yet?
The results you'll get from this technique could be staggering to say the least.
All you have to do is call up or visit your local radio station and tell the DJ you're putting on a big event with a celebrity entertainer or speaker. Then tell him/her that you feel their listeners would benefit greatly from attending the event. You can even bring up reasons why this event would be beneficial to the listeners...
C'mon, it's a radio station. And a campus radio station at that. So of course they're going to "plug" your event to their listeners. All you have to do is ASK!
Try this once, and I guarantee your next event will be filled with so many people that you may have to work on additional seating arrangements!
New Promotional Method #3: The Secret Power of Dorm Storms!
This concept is so easy, yet so effective the results could blow you away.
Ok, so you know about using flyers to promote your events...
But did you know that using flyers to "dorm storm" could increase your attendance by 30% or more?
Here's how to do it...
First, you get a team of about 5-10 people together, who are naturally enthusiastic and full of energy. Then, you hand them several flyers and instruct them to have fun banging on each door in the dorms throughout campus and handing out flyers to anyone and everyone they meet ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT.
Before you send off your little army to do the deed, you may want to gather your team together and map out exactly who-should-storm-where. This way, they'll cover more ground quicker, won't storm a dorm that has already been stormed, and you can look forward to an event with so many students, you may have trouble counting them all!
New Promotional Method #4: Did Somebody Say 'McDonalds'?
...or Pizza Hut, or Dominoes, or (the list goes on and on...)
FREE FOOD -- By *far* the easiest way to instantly increase your attendance to ANY event...
You may know that already, but here's something you may not yet be aware of...
Did you know that many of the most successful event programmers simply make "deals" with local restaurants to provide food to their every event at NO COST? -- It's shocking what the food industry will do for free publicity and exposure these days...
Here's how to make it happen...
It's so simple, anyone could do it. You just walk up to (or call) a few restaurants around your area and offer to pass out free coupons or handouts at your next big event, if they'd be interested in providing the food and beverages. You may need to check with your Director to ensure there's no rules against this for your particular campus, but if there aren't... You've just got FREE food for your event!
And just so you know, out of our entire survey of 1,497 Campus Event Programmers, a mind-blowing 100% agreed that FREE food at any event, always produces the best turnout...
Not to mention, the #1 reason for leaving an event or not attending at all is:
Lack of FREE FOOD!
Get the picture? This simple but amazingly effective technique could literally mean the difference between a jam-packed smash hit, or an expensive waste of time, money and energy.
Try it and see for yourself the Power of FREE Food at your next event!
New Promotional Method #5: Use the Power of the Internet to Blast Your Attendance Through the Roof!
This method is a little more advanced, but is guaranteed to skyrocket the attendance to your every event -- more than you could possibly imagine!
First, picture this: It's two weeks before your big event. You haven't done anything in the way of getting the word out yet, but instead decide to take the easy route and bring in truckloads of students at the click of a button...
So you fire up your email program and blast out a message to your "Event Announcement List", instantly informing hundreds or even thousands of students about your next big event...
A few days later, you blast out a reminder of the event for anyone who may have missed it the time before... (you repeat this step four more times)
And on the final day just before the event, you blast out yet - ANOTHER message telling them the when, where and why about attending your event RIGHT NOW.
You haven't done *anything* else to promote the event, and yet you suddenly begin to see people standing in lines reaching as far back as the parking lot, anxiously awaiting to take their seat...
...and the next time you have an event -- you do it again!
Using this powerful method, you've just created a "push-button" approach to promoting your every event. It didn't cost you a dime, and took only a few minutes to ignite a virtual EXPLOSION of students to your event!
This one's amazing. It's pure power at the push of a button -- and here's how you can do it, starting right now...
Campus Event Programmers have direct access to every single registered email address of all the students who attend their campus...
If you're not using this to your immediate advantage, you're missing out on one of the most effective promotional techniques ever created!!
The "hard part" (gathering email addresses) has already been done for you. If you don't currently have the list for your campus, just ask your director and he/she will certainly grant your request...
Now that you have your email list, all you have to do is send them out a quick message announcing your next big event...
But that's not all -- think about these intriguing questions...
Can you *guarantee* that nearly everyone on your list will attend your events?
Can you make absolutely sure that students on your list won't simply forget about your event?
Can three simple words cause your event attendance to skyrocket beyond the likes of which you've never seen before?
Yes... Yes!... and YES!! -- And Here's How...
First, you should know that an average human being will commit something to memory once he/she's read it a minimum of 7 times...
You could send out your announcement only once, and draw in a nice crowd to your event -- but what if you actually sent SEVEN messages to your list, announcing your event?
Do you think you'd get a better turnout?
Absolutely! -- In fact, if you send out your initial announcement to your email list once, and then follow up with six more reminders, spread out over a couple of weeks, you can rest assured *knowing* that your event is going to be jam-packed full of eager students willing and ready to watch the show!!
Just imagine that with this simple technique, all you ever have to do to draw in massive amounts of people to your every event is type a few words into an email and...
"Just - Click - SEND!"
