Full Picture Media’s TOP 10 Virtual Event Tips
- “Use your Imagination”
- “Always think outside of the box! Dream Big! Virtual events should be innovative and imaginative.”
- “On Screen Magic”
- “Incorporate company logos and branding with compelling graphics and high quality video animations to entice audiences.”
- “Consider your ROI”
- “Lower production cost = higher ROI potential. Events that are entirely online can create a huge savings and be cost effective in the long run!”
- “Short & Sweet”
- “Virtual events should be short and sweet, 90 minutes or less. This maximizes the audience’s attention span and doe not require them to commit to a long event”
- “Rely on Wifi? No Way!”
- “Use a wired internet connection. Poor wifi can ruin any good event”
- “All about Team Spirit”
- “Build the best team possible! Hire an MC or auctioneer to elevate your event. This will add an element of excitement and eliminate stress for internal teams”
- “No Limits”
- “Invite everyone! With no limits on attendance due to venue or budget constraints there are opportunities to engage with more donors and clients”
- “To Zoom or Not to Zoom”
- “Zoom fatigue is real, but it doesn’t need to carry into your event. Consider switching platforms and including a gamification element to entice attendees!”
- “What Not To Wear””
- “Look and feel your best by coordinating attire for your on screen team. Remember green and busy patterns are a no go”
- “Practice Makes Perfect”
- “Rehearse with your full crew prior to your event date. Do a tech check as well!”
