When you’re a blogger, there may well be
times you might get invited to a blogger event. What a compliment! Whether it’s
a big event or something a little more casual, these types of meet ups are a
great idea to get people talking both to you and about you (in a good way, of
course!) Big brands are always using these kind of events to promote their own
stuff, and not only is it a nice way for them to get recognition, but also you,
too! You’ll probably walk away with some free stuff as well, so it’s a win-win
situation. Overall – good luck and have fun!
Prepare
Before You Go
Let your followers know before you’re going
that you’ll be at the event. Use the appropriate hashtag for the day to make
friends, because it’ll help break the ice when it comes to actually getting
there. Remember, everyone else will be as nervous as you are, but the intention
is for you to enjoy yourself! So just be who you are and let your personality
shine.
Smile
& Have Style
Put a smile on your face and show you’re
confident! You were ultimately chosen to attend because of your stand-out
presence online, so just make sure it translates easily to real life. You can
easily fake it, too, by
following some tips. Also, as it’s a fashion event, you’ll want to
carefully plan your outfit ahead of time. To be honest, providing you dress the
way you want to come across, there’s no need to panic about things like money,
or labels. Dress in a way that makes you feel best about yourself and everyone
else should love you, too. If not – oh well, what do they know?!
Network,
Network, Network!
Networking is so important, whether with
your fellow bloggers (who’ll be important for your blogging future) or with the
PRs that will probably be there. Introducing yourself with some cute business
cards, or even some branded USB drives with more about you will like these will go a long way in getting
you remembered for future events and opportunities.
Write
Up About The Event
The reason you will have been invited would
be to give a full, honest overview of what happened and what you did. This will
drive traffic from other attendees, and it’ll be a time to showcase your
talents, whether it’s writing or photography. Writing your piece promptly will
show that you’re professional, reliable and sure to be used again!
