Are you struggling achieving the results you want or need from your calls for entry? I can empathize with your challenges. During any one month there are over 600,000 new calls for entry postings. Thousands of events are competing with yours for the same prospective participants. Whether this is your first time hosting a call for entries or you have been doing it for some time, the challenges are the same: First, you need to make prospective participants aware of your event. Second, you need to structure you web pages so they are brief, but informative, professional looking, the description entices entries, and you offer an easy process to submit. I was able to apply over 20 years of marketing experiences, much of which was focused on internet marketing, to grow The Center for Fine Art Photography to a half-million dollar organization in less than four years - principally by hosting photography competitions. In over 50 competitions, the Center developed an international reputation for excellence, grew its mailing list to over 15,000 participants and was consistently in the top ten results from Google searches. If you would like assistance in developing a successful call for entries, regardless of the media, or you just want some advice on refining your methods, I can help. Depending on your needs, I can review your web pages, the method for receiving entries, managing the cash flow, communicating with participants, post-deadline follow up, creating an image, and most importantly - marketing your event. If you want to explore the possibilities, there is no charge to discuss your needs and how I may help you host a very successful event. Please call or email me at the contacts below.
