Powerful EDM Marketing 

To assist WCIT with their online presence, we developed a comprehensive and effective digital strategy that matches the event’s objective of providing a revolutionary digital experience. elfo adopted an Electronic Direct Mail (EDM) marketing strategy where we produced 25 different email newsletters for WCIT’s event marketing which were delivered to a large group of their intended audience. This method enabled them to create and nurture relations with users while offering high-quality, relevant content. 

To reach their global target audience, we also supported WCIT in advertising their event information and insights on a few free event websites, including Eventbrite, Event Seeker, and Events.org.  

In addition, elfo helped with driving traffic to the landing page. We created a landing page for WCIT 2022 Malaysia that included the event’s background, agenda, speakers, etc. In order to maximize the marketing performance, we employed A/B testing to determine which design or copywriting version performed better. This strategy assisted us in making smarter and strategic decisions for WCIT’s future EDM marketing campaigns.
