They will visit your social media platform if they like the content and follow it. They will share it with their friends and family members, boosting your social presence like never before.

Enhance Communications At The Virtual Event

It also calls for an excellent opportunity to run hashtag campaigns at your virtual event. Your virtual event attendees would create social posts using your unique hashtag, and it will immediately appear on the social wall, encouraging more people to participate.

Uninterrupted Experience With Social Media Ticker
A social wall also comes in the form of a social media ticker. You must have come across the news ticker that runs right below the live streaming news. The social ticker is something similar.

Instead, you will have the textual social content by running horizontally right below the live streaming virtual event. The social ticker is a great tool to enhance engagement at your virtual event through social media without interrupting the ongoing event.

Improve Sponsors’ Visibility During Virtual Event
Sponsors are an essential aspect of any virtual event. They enable better functioning of the virtual event, and they help you offer the best to your audience. So, it would help if you offered them something in return.

Use the social wall to highlight your sponsors’ social media posts. It is a great strategy to dedicate a space to your sponsors. The social wall also comes with detailed insights and metrics to measure the performance of the social media posts on the social wall. You can offer these results to your sponsors to show them the benefits of sponsoring your virtual events.
