In this post Martin Wright tells us about Twestivals.
On 12 February 2009 100+ cities around the world will be hosting Twestivals which bring together Twitter communities for an evening of fun and to raise money and awareness for charity: water.
The Twestival is organized 100% by volunteers in cities around the world and 100% of the money raised from these events will go directly to support charity: water projects.
How can you use Twestival to increase your audience?
- Organise a Twestival in your area if there isn’t one. This will make you an instant local hero and authority on Twitter. Local media, business and media will identify you as the expert.
- Sponsor a Twestival – all Twestivals are run voluntarily with all proceeds going to charity:water. Sponsorship is used to cover room costs and any food and drink costs. Your logo will appear on the local Twestival homepage.
- Donate a prize for Twestival raffle – Raffles are a great fundraising activity and rely on the generosity of others to donate great prizes. These can be an item (Wii, Ipod), a voucher (iTunes) or service (consultancy).
- Attend a Twestival – this is a worldwide event entirely organised using Twitter. Take part and tell everyone about how it went and who you met.
- Donate money to charity:water using TipJoy and twitter all your friends to do the same. They’ll think you’re a star!
Find your local Twestival, get involved today and be a super hero.
