2020 PRCA Committee Guide

WEBSITE & EMAIL BLASTS • You should have a website for your rodeo. Include its URL (eg., www.yourrodeo.com) with your Approval forms so that it will be posted on ProRodeo.com’s rodeo schedule page.

• At minimum, your website should include your rodeo dates, location, schedule, ticket prices and contact information.

• Tell your local fairs, state and county tourism agencies about your website and ask them to link to it. Also link it to your social media accounts.

• If you have some way to collect your audience’s e-mail addresses, you can use programs such as Constant Contact to set up e-mail blasts (promotional e-mails that can go to a mass of recipents) to promote your rodeo. SOCIAL MEDIA Please follow and like the PRCA’s social media accounts and tag the PRCA in any applicable posts to help cross-promote your event. We recommend setting up a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram account for your rodeo.

TIPS:

• Keep text short and concise in posts. • Always post a picture or video for fan engagement.

• Shorten any URL’s you are sharing (bit.ly is a great service). • Post consistently leading up to your rodeo (at least once a day). • Social media coverage during your rodeo is key for fan engagement. • Utilize hashtags (#WeAreProRodeo), giveaways, tagging, and getting people to share your posts. • Please refer to our social media policy on ProRodeo.com for do’s and don’ts.
