## Prompt

```text
Help me promote an event so we sell tickets and fill the venue.

**Event:** [NAME, type - e.g. "home and garden expo", "industry conference", "festival"]
**Date, venue, and capacity:** [DETAILS]
**Ticket types and prices:** [free / paid tiers / exhibitor packages]
**Attendance goal and past numbers:** [TARGETS, last year's results if any]
**What attendees get:** [speakers, exhibitors, workshops, demos, entertainment]
**Channels and budget:** [email list size, social accounts, partners, ad budget]
**Weeks until the event:** [NUMBER]

Deliver:
1. **Audience segments:** 3-5 groups most likely to attend, with what motivates each and the message that will move them.
2. **Campaign timeline** working back from event day: announcement, early-bird, speaker or exhibitor reveals, mid-campaign push, last-chance, and day-of. Include the dates for each phase.
3. **Ticket offers:** early-bird, group or bring-a-friend, partner discount codes, and urgency that is honest (real deadlines and capacity only).
4. **Content plan:** topic ideas and formats (short videos, behind-the-scenes, speaker and exhibitor spotlights, how-to posts tied to the event theme), keeping one voice across channels.
5. **Partner and exhibitor promotion:** a ready-made toolkit with copy and graphics they can share.
6. **Email sequence:** subject lines and key messages for each send.
7. **Engagement ideas:** contests, giveaways, and interactive posts, checking the platform rules and local laws for contests.
8. **Tracking:** a weekly dashboard of ticket sales by channel and code, and what to change if sales lag.

Use [ADD DETAIL] where you need facts about the event I have not given.
