Paid Ads Strategy
➡️ Ran paid ads 10 days before the summit

-
To remind people that the summit is starting
➡️ Did a carousel ad
-
Carousel that had several of the speakers on it and the title of their presentation
➡️ Did retargeting ads after the summit
-
To promote the all access pass offer
Recommendations For Paid Ads
✔️ For retargeting ads
-
You can retarget people who have gone to the sales page for your all access pass, but didn't purchase
-
You can include some customer testimonials of people who have purchased your all access pass and what they said about it
✔️ You can also do video ads during the summit to keep the attendees engaged
-
These work very well especially if you have a longer summit
-
You can do some really cheap video ads to keep people engaged in your summit, keep them excited, and to keep them prying for any offers that you may be offering towards the end of the summit or after the summit ends.
Biggest Impact From Hosting Her Summits
👉 The learning experience
👉 Increase in her email list
👉 Relationships she built with her peers
Final Piece Of Advice From Dr. Destini
"If you are on the fence to launching your first summit, just take the plunge and do it. I was so scared, but before I did my first one and I thought, what if nobody comes, what if nobody shows up? What if I can't get any speakers? And none of that happened. So I would just say, put a date in the ground and that's the date that you shoot for and plan all your activities to launch your summit on that date."
