dōTERRA events
The secret to succeeding in building a thriving dōTERRA business, is hosting events! As a global organisation, hosting a dōTERRA event does not always mean that you will be physically in the same room as your attendees. Being 2016, the options for hosting events are limitless, and in this article, we are going to explain how you can host a productive, online event.
There are several different ways to hold an online event.
- Webinar
- Skype call
- Google hangout
- Facebook event
- Twitter conference
- Forum or Chatroom
It is important to choose the platform that will be most convenient for you, and your team members. Here are some simple tips to help you get started.
- Know your target audience. Understanding who you are trying to reach will help you understand how to reach your audience most effectively. This is also likely to influence which platform you use.
- Plan and Prepare. As online events can be held at any time, you should have ample time to plan and prepare in advance. Having all materials ready before an event, will allow you time to edit and make any adjustments as necessary, before the event begins. This will give your attendees confidence in what you are saying and ensure you host the most successful event possible.
- Advertise your event. Before you hold your event, decide how you are going to advertise it. Ensure your images are eye catching and enticing, so that they catch the attention of potential attendees.
- Ask for help. dōTERRA is here to support you in planning these events. We want you to succeed so let us help you get there!
- Create a #hashtag to use specifically for all your events. Hashtags are a great way to make every post you make searchable through different social media platforms. When you, or any of your attendees post on social media using the hashtag, you can search that hashtag to see what people are saying and how they are reacting. Make sure your hashtag is short and simple, easy to remember and unique to your event.
- Be Involved. Use social media platforms that facilitate discussion about your event and make sure you are actively involved in that discussion. Answer questions, welcome people to the group, get people talking about the dōTERRA products, anything you can to keep people engaged in discussion. Make sure everyone knows who you are and are comfortable to ask you questions.
- Entice participation. Everyone loves receiving gifts- use that to your advantage! Offer giveaways to attendees who invite others to come along, or who regularly comment on posts. Just a little added incentive to keep everyone happy!
- Keep the community alive. Remember to follow up with attendees once the event is over. Keep the conversation going, and make sure you are always ready to answer questions or help your team however you can.
