  • Multiple vacancies: You can include more than one post in the one advert, we often find that adverts with multiple vacancies attract higher click & open rates.

 

  • Feedback/Statistical Reporting: After the closing date we will provide feedback on the click and open rates for both the direct mailing and the weekly publicity in the OCF/CMS Newsletters.

 

  • Real time testing and feedback: Try it and see; you might want to see this advertising as a trial and we’d be happy to engage with you on this and provide feedback as necessary. You might want to consider a programme of adverts for the event. We find that what you promote varies from the beginning to the days leading up to the event.

 

  • We can provide free advice on promoting your event: On wording, approaches and timing of advertising since we have been working on this for over 200+ events that have used emailing approaches for over 25 years.
