8:50:27 pm TerrenceWing: shall we jump into the first question? #astdchapters

8:50:45 pm dbolen: Q1) How does your chapter advertise events? #astdchapters #ASTD

8:52:09 pm TerrenceWing: We use email blasts, weekly eNewsletter, and a monthly postcard. We’re looking for more innovative approaches #astd #astdchapters

8:53:31 pm TerrenceWing: We’re building or Social Media campaign but we have to build the network first or we’re just talking to an empty void. #astdchapters

8:53:51 pm LandDDave: Q1) this is an improvement opportunity for us. Currently we only advertise via e-mail blasts and flyers at events. #astdchapters

8:54:06 pm dbolen: @TerrenceWing #astd #astdchapters we used postcards and felt that made no difference in attendance, just added cost, complexity

8:54:22 pm TerrenceWing: RT @LandDDave this is an improvement opportunity for us. Currently we only advertise via e-mail blasts and flyers at events. #ASTDchapters

8:54:52 pm britz: Q1) we Tweet, email blast, website, SIG Google groups posts, LinkedIn & FB #astd #astdchapters

8:55:45 pm dbolen: @britz #astd #astdchapters Mark, welcome to the chat

8:56:48 pm dbolen: RT @TerrenceWing: We’re building or Social Media campaign but we have to build network first or we’re talking to empty void #astdchapters

8:57:09 pm britz: @dbolen thanks! been wanting to get in for weeks…spread to thin however. #astd #astdchapters

8:57:14 pm TerrenceWing: @britz Hey Mark #astdchapters

8:58:19 pm TerrenceWing: What seems to be your most effective advertising tool @dbolen @britz @landDDave #astd #astdchapters

8:58:34 pm LandDDave: @britz greetings Mark! #astdchapters

8:58:41 pm dbolen: @britz #astd #astdchapters spread too thin, we all can relate!

8:58:58 pm britz: @TerrenceWing hi Terrence. good to see you. #astd #astdchapters

8:59:06 pm dbolen: Q2 What advertising have you tried that has not worked? #astdchapters #ASTD

8:59:59 pm TerrenceWing: @dbolen We actually downgraded from a newsletter to a postcard #astd #astdchapters

9:00:56 pm TerrenceWing: Q2 Seems like everyone is numb to traditional adv but it does keep the brand fresh and present #astd #astdchapters

9:02:14 pm dbolen: Q2 anyone used paid advertising on a website? other newsletter? other association’s website? #ASTD #astdchapters

9:03:07 pm TerrenceWing: Q2: I am not sure if it is the vehicle or the event being advertised. A “WOW” event would stand out on a napkin #astd #astdchapters

9:03:13 pm britz: Q2 we are not seeing much from direct mailings. we’ve really started dropping it all together #astd #astdchapters

9:03:43 pm LandDDave: Q2) we’ve done direct invitations (mail) to senior leaders for special events – mixed results #astdchapters #astd

9:04:11 pm dbolen: RT @TerrenceWing: Q2: i’m not sure if its the vehicle / event being advertised. A “WOW” event wld stand out on a napkin #astd #astdchapters

9:05:11 pm TerrenceWing: @britz Other than the monthly postcard which use to be a newsletter, we don’t use snail mail. #astdchapters

9:05:31 pm TerrenceWing: @LandDDave No paid advertising #astdchapters

9:05:50 pm britz: RT @TerrenceWing: Q2: ….A “WOW” event would stand out on a napkin #astd #astdchapters

9:06:56 pm TerrenceWing: Q3: Amazing Event / Amazing Presenter / Word of Mouth – It’s scary but sometimes it just works that easy #astd #astdchapters

9:08:11 pm dbolen: @TerrenceWing #astd #astdchapters Q3 amazing content/presenter is king

9:09:06 pm britz: Q3) As Terrence said – WOW events or what I call hitting the “Pain Points”#astd #astdchapters We had @thomasStone present this year-big hit

9:09:10 pm ErickTaft: Good evening all. #astdchapters

9:09:32 pm TerrenceWing: Sometimes, I think, should we even have this event if we have to advertise it so hard? #astd #astdchapters

9:10:04 pm dbolen: @ErickTaft good evening #ASTD #astdchapters

9:12:50 pm dbolen: @britz Q3 can you tell us more about the Stone event? #ASTD #astdchapters

9:13:08 pm ErickTaft: @TerrenceWing Good point – well connected speakers often promote where they will be next. #ASTD #astdchapters
