How to use it

  • Choose your platforms, then adapt the post templates with your event date, venue, price and ticket link.
  • Add UTM parameters to every ticket link, and ask "How did you hear about this event?" at checkout.
  • Review the tracking sheet weekly, and post more of what sells tickets.
FAQs and suggestions

Q: How often should we post about our fundraising event?

Start with one or two posts a week eight weeks out and build to daily posts in the final week. Visibility comes from steady repetition, not one big push.

Q: How many hashtags should we use on event posts?

Three to five specific tags. A branded tag, a cause tag, a local tag and one broader fundraising tag outperform a long list of generic ones.

Q: How do we know which posts are selling tickets?

Add UTM parameters to every ticket link and ask buyers how they heard about the event at checkout. Tickets sold by source matter more than likes.
