There's no doubt that well-executed customer events really do work. And a key element of the strategy is to promote the event effectively. One tactic that can make a huge difference is to show where the venue is on a personalized route map. Whether on-site or off-site, the location may not be familiar to people, and that can be a barrier to attending. But if you can show them where it is, how to get there and how long it will take with a personalized map, the visual impact, relevance and usefulness of that will significantly boost the response you get.
