🧐 Implementing A Post BlackHat Strategy - Top Tips 🧐

A few weeks have passed since BlackHat, and we’re finally getting back to a sense of normality. BlackHat, or any conference, can be a great opporunity to build business, but with so much going on, it can be easy to miss the key opportunities once you’re back to set those conversations into action. Check out our top tips for implementing a post conference strategy below!👇

Follow Up! 👋

You know how great your service or product is, but don’t let your recent connections forget it! Make sure to follow up when you get back to keep in the forefront of people’s minds. Try and find something personal that you may have connected on at the conference and use that as the conversation starter.

Share Your Content! 📸

Now is time to channel your inner influencer and make the most of all the great content you got over the course of the content. Short form content is always the best first step when creating your content plan - think short videos, testimonials or quick snapshots of the conference floor, but make sure to repurpose your content in blogs, ads and more to keep the hype from the event.

Don’t Underestimate the Power of Email! 📩

Email campaigns are a great way to reach out to prospective customers or clients after a conference. Keep in mind, though, that there are no doubt going to be tons of marketing emails sent out off the back of an event, so make sure that yours has specific, valuable messaging and a strong subject line to keep engagement and open rates high.
