Episode 136: Behind the Scenes of Event Success: Planning, Production, and Promotion [featuring Steve Turney]

All Things Private Practice Podcast

In this episode, Patrick Casale speaks with Steve Turney, Executive Director of the Mental Health Marketing Conference. They share their insights into the world of event planning and the tremendous value it can bring to your private practice and beyond.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1. Venue as a Branding Tool: Expand your brand's reach and recognition by choosing a venue that resonates with your event's identity. Your venue isn't just a location; it's a key part of your marketing strategy.
2. Consistent and Creative Marketing: Utilize platforms like LinkedIn to target industry professionals and incorporate consistent, creative marketing strategies to build anticipation and engagement. Don't miss the opportunity to market your next event immediately following your current one.
3. The Importance of Self-Care: Hosting events is an exhilarating experience but can be equally stressful. Prioritize self-care and celebrate your accomplishments, keeping in mind the immense value these experiences bring to your brand—and your personal well-being!

This episode offers valuable insights and a behind-the-scenes look at professional event planning from two experienced and successful event hosts who are leaders in the mental health entrepreneurial space.
