How Do You Promote a Christmas Funfair?

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and - of course, funfair rides! If you're planning a Christmas funfair, you're already on your way to creating a hit event for your local community. However, to ensure that your funfair becomes the talk of the town and attracts a bustling crowd, effective promotion is essential. In this article, we'll explore various strategies to help you promote your Christmas funfair and spread the festive cheer far and wide.

1. Online Presence: In today's digital age, an online presence is a must for successful event promotion. Create a dedicated event pagge on your website that highlights the Christmas funfair games, rides, and entertainment your fairground will offer. Use vibrant imagery, engaging content, and clear event details. Leverage social media platforms to share sneak peeks, countdowns, and behind-the-scenes glimpses to build anticipation. Social media is also a powerful tool for event promotion. Create Christmas event pages on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, as well as dedicated events platforms like Eventbrite. Regularly post updates, share interactive content like polls and quizzes related to your event, and engage with your audience. Consider running contests or giveaways to encourage user participation, sharing, and comments.

2. Collaborate: Partnering with local businesses, community groups, schools, public sector bodies and other organisations can help you reach a wider audience. Identify individuals who resonate with your target demographic and collaborate with them to promote your Christmas funfair rides and all the other attractions at your event.

3. Old School Marketing: Don't get trapped in the digital world - traditional marketing techniques are also great for funfairs! Create visually appealing posters, flyers, and banners that reflect the festive spirit of your funfair. Use Christmas colours, typography, and imagery, and place these promotional materials strategically in high-traffic areas and partner establishments. Reach out to local newspapers, magazines, and radio stations to feature your Christmas funfair event. Press releases and interviews can generate interest and credibility in the community; you could even arrange a leaflet campaign!

4. Emails: Leverage your existing email list to promote your Christmas funfair. Send out regular newsletters with event updates, special offers, and exclusive previews. Tease the attractions, games, and experiences they can expect at your funfair through short videos, live streams, or interactive quizzes.

5. Word of Mouth: Encourage confirmed attendees to spread the word about your Christmas funfair. Positive word-of-mouth recommendations can have a significant impact on the success of your event.

6. Repeat It Every Year: People remember the great funfair or fairground they went to at Christmas last year; they can probably even roughly remember what day it was! Repeating funfairs year after year typically sees a gradual increase in visitor numbers.
