Know your audience
If your goal is to increase customer engagement and expand your network, the first step is to learn more about the characteristics of your audience.
For this, it is important to go beyond the most obvious characteristics such as age and gender. Gathering additional information such as interests, hobbies, most used social networks, etc., can make a difference in your planning.
Create customer loyalty programs
Once you have profiled your audience, you will need to establish strategies to engage them with your brand.
By observing customer behavior, you can define a strategy to implement in the long term. Pay attention to errors and successes and focus on the post-event phase to improve the relationship with your audience.
Establish a relationship with suppliers
In the case of suppliers, it is important to build a relationship of trust to avoid unforeseen events. To do this, it is necessary to define quality criteria, be clear about deadlines and the company's needs toward its partners and, at the same time, not delay payments, in addition to being courteous and transparent in every exchange.
To ensure that your brand develops and is respected as a leader in the market, it is important to know what relationship marketing is and to apply the most effective strategies correctly.
This is the right way to organize successful sporting events and expand and consolidate your network of customers and suppliers.
