Are you geotagging your New York events? If you’re not (or not sure,) keep reading. We’ll delve into the basics, applications, and benefits of geotagging for all your corporate and social events in NYC. And when you execute correctly, expect boosted marketing results and improved event attendance.
1. What Is Geotagging?
When we talk about geotagging, we mean stamping any digital post that tells viewers more about what it entails. A geotag is a geographical location identifier for use on social media. And they apply to photos, texts, QR codes, social posts, and more. The objective of geotagging is to bring better visibility to your post, your event, and, ultimately, your business. Anyone viewing will immediately see venue details - which are significant for fundraisers, festivals, public exhibitions, and more.
2. How to Create a Geotag for Your NYC Events
Start by logging into your event planning Facebook app. There, create your post and follow the “Check in a tab.” Search for your event and specify its location and additional info. Now, your NYC event will appear as a Geotag option for Instagram posts.
Benefits of Geotagging Your Event
Sure, geotagging your events allows guests to “check-in” and help promote your event to a broader audience. But there are additional advantages to consider, too.
- Increase event exposure across social media and location hashtags.
- Engage with specific audiences and event attendees based on those using your event’s geotag.
- Improve SEO ranking and create unique opportunities for trends.
- Build a community of online audiences around your event and brand.
3. How It Can Boost Event Marketing Results
Ok, so there are geotagging benefits. But how can geotagging your events actually improve your overall marketing results?
- Pre-event Marketing - reach audiences beyond your normal reach.
- Event Night Marketing - build a buzz throughout your event.
- Post-event Marketing - get event marketing mileage after it’s over.
4. Improved Event Security
Geotagging presents another event security advantage, too. Using cloud-based geolocation solutions, event planners can integrate location tech with access control systems. This allows for visibility throughout your event, monitoring and controlling safety, venue entrances, and more.
