So, you've got a venue to promote. But how?

Well, you could do an Open Day. Here's what will happen.

A few serious buyers will turn up
Lots of "freeloaders" will turn up
Only a few genuine decision-makers will turn up - after all, they know what a
...venue looks like....
Those that do turn up must justify their time
The majority of booked visitors won't show
Lots of money will be spent. Loads of food and drink will be wasted
You will have no income to counter the expense, and little to show for it

But there is an alternative? You could talk to VenuePromote, from RJA. And then you could

Produce an entertaining but educational training programme to attract visitors
Run an event that is dramatically different - and make your venue memorable
Give delegates a genuine reason to attend - and justify it to colleagues and clients
Secure valuable Press and marketing coverage
Even consider charging delegates to attend

This approach works because it delivers serious decision makers - the kind of clients and prospects you want to meet. Moreover, the educational and training aspects ensure delegates stay for longer, and expose them to all your facilities. The venue/location presentation is made a far more integral - and compulsory - element of the programme.
