- Owner: LauraClearly we have a thing about babies…ha! But in truth, I thought this was just another great example of a customer Event Page. And in this screenshot you can see what happens when someone shares their excitement about your event – before and after the purchase.In 2011 we completed a study where we actually measured the value of 1 share in Facebook, and what we found is that when the event is associated with fundraising, its quite impressive:1 “Share” equals $11 in future donations. In other words, on average, for all the people who like, comment and share out their excitement about this event – they are bringing new people into the fold and those people are buying tickets!Source: Eventbrite Social Commerce Report: http://blog.eventbrite.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-shot-2011-03-16-at-10.02.57-AM.png

- Owner:RituTwitter is also a great tool in addition to Facebook and it doesn’t take a lot of time.- Create an account – if you don’t already have one. It’s easy and fast- Twitter allow you to search and catalogs your event- The hash tag unifies tweets from multiple people on the same subjectIn this example, we have a fundraiser who has created the hashtag #prouty and uses Twitter as a way to not only get people excited and committed to attending her fundraising event, but also to keep all her friends engaged from the beginning of her fundraising journey all the way to her experience crossing the finish line – both on the ride and in crushing her fundraising goals.
