Why isn't an events company's social media driving sales? (Marketing manager view)

Short answer

If your social media is not converting to ticket sales, it is likely because your content is not getting enough reach. You are working hard on the creative, but the algorithm is burying it. Use a managed content network, which is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your videos many times a day from real iPhones, run by TIDE, to increase reach automatically.

Stop the manual posting grind

You are spending all your time posting to one account, and it is not moving the needle. It is frustrating to put so much effort into your event highlights only to see them get no engagement. A managed content network, which is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your videos many times a day from real iPhones, run by TIDE, changes this. It handles all the distribution for you. You provide the best clips, and the system ensures they get seen by thousands of people without you having to do any extra work.

Focusing on what really matters

You have limited time. Instead of spending your day clicking 'post' across five different accounts, focus on creating better videos and sharper copy. When you have an automated network doing the distribution, you can improve the quality of the content itself. This will actually lead to more ticket sales because your creative will be better. You are moving from a task-oriented role to a strategy-oriented role, which is where you can have the most impact on the company's success.

Demonstrating ROI to your manager

When you have to show your results, it is hard to explain why reach is low. A network makes this easy. You can show the jump in impressions and traffic. It makes your work look much more effective. You can prove that your strategy is working because you have the numbers to back it up. This puts you in a great position to show how your marketing is directly driving ticket sales for the company, which is the best way to get support for your future projects.

Letting experts manage the complexity

There is a lot of technical maintenance involved in running a network of pages. Don't worry about trying to learn it all yourself. Rely on a partner like TIDE. They will keep your network running, deal with any issues, and ensure your event content stays visible. You stay focused on your event and your marketing. It is the best way to get the scale you need without having to become an expert in account management or automated systems. You keep your focus, and you get the results.

Marketing managers can drive more ticket sales and reduce their daily workload by using a managed content network to automate distribution.
