Key Steps in the One Sheet Event Marketing Plan
- Identify Your Event
Start by clearly defining the event you want to market. Is it a physical event with a specific date and location, or a virtual event like a product launch? The principles we discuss apply to all types of events.
- Use the Trello Editorial Calendar
Our Trello template is designed to help you plan every detail leading up to the event. Create a board, fill in your event information, and use the lists to outline your tasks and deadlines. This way, you can rinse and repeat the process for future events with ease.
- Gather Collaborators
Identify key collaborators who will help make your event a success. Use Google Forms to ask them questions like:
- How and why did you start your business?
- Please upload two pictures of products or services you offer.
- What do you love most about working in your industry?
This information not only helps with event planning but also provides content for your marketing posts.

Once you've gathered all necessary information, complete your one-sheet plan. This document should include:
- Event details (date, time, location)
- Marketing timeline
- Collaborator information and roles

- Schedule and Automate Your Posts
Use the Trello board to flesh out your social media posts. Plan your content in advance, schedule it, and then focus on engaging with your audience. This set-it-and-forget-it approach allows you to manage your event marketing efficiently.
