Promote i'll go! to Your Patrons

Dropping in for an update on the popularity of i'll go!

Almost 300 people have added the application already. That's not a bad number, but guess what: 60 of them are my own friends. It's time to start telling your patrons about i'll go!

If you've entered your events, what are you doing to promote them? I'm not going to name names here, but I know there are a few organizations who have taken the time to sign up for an i'll go! account, create discounts and enter events in i'll go! -- and then they've sent out Facebook Page Updates talking about the events without linking to i'll go! at all.

Let me remind you: if a patron buys a ticket to your event through i'll go!, they're automatically telling all their Facebook friends about it! Don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of that free viral marketing.

If you're not sure how to link to your events in i'll go!:
  • Go to the Find Events page
  • Search by Presenter for your organization
  • Link to the URL for the Presenter page (it will look like this: http://apps.facebook.com/iwillgo/presenter-page/####), or directly to any of the individual events.
Link from your Facebook Page, link from your e-mails, link from your Web site -- anywhere you're asking people to buy a ticket.

...and write to me if you have any questions!
