How does ASAE The Center for Association Leadership fill an annual conference of 5,000+ attendees year after year? Mostly by doing the fundamentals early and consistently.
➡️ They start about 10 months out, which gives them room to test messages and move budget toward what's working.
➡️ They don't ignore people who almost registered. Their general awareness campaigns returned about $60 for every dollar spent, but a campaign aimed specifically at people who visited the registration page and left returned closer to $98.
➡️ They speak to different audiences differently. Planners, stragglers, and executives don't decide the same way, so they don't get the same message.
➡️ They use all of this same audience data to create value for sponsors, which opens up a new source of non-dues revenue.
