Types of Event Promo Videos

GETTING ATTENDEES EXCITED

Pre-event Videos

These could be teasers, personalised event invites or trailers that provide more details and information on what they can expect from you during the event.

KEEPING CUSTOMERS ENGAGED

Real-time Event Videos

These are videos that your audience can watch and engage with during the event, such as brand introduction videos, demo or showcase videos, interactive videos and customer testimonials.

HIGHLIGHTING KEY MOMENTS

Post-event Videos

Showcase recaps and the most important and best parts of the event. These could also serve as a promotion tool for future events.

Best Practices for Event Promo Videos

Keep it brief but interesting

Whether it’s a pre, real-time or post-event video, keep it short and use exciting visuals, good editing techniques and engaging storytelling to capture your audience’s attention.

Choose the right type and length

The format and length of your event video will depend on your needs. Pre-event videos are typically shorter and spark curiosity, while highlight reels can be longer recaps to showcase value.

Personalise for a better customer experience

Events are an excellent way to gather information from your audience to get to know them better. Use the information you collect to personalise videos relevant to their needs and challenges.

Add a call to action

Ensure your videos include information about your company, product or service and a compelling reason for attendees to contact you, whether offering free trials, limited-time discounts or live demos.
