First impressions are indeed “everything” but to say that second impressions are “nothing” is short-sighted, to say the least. The quality of your post-event follow-up will determine whether or not you’re able to continue a productive line of communication and win accounts. To capitalize on all your hard work your post-event messaging should be consistent with the information you’ve made known to your leads before and during your event, but more importantly, you’ll want to write with purpose.
