Email Campaigning:
Email campaigning has the highest conversion rate compared to any other marketing method. Organizers need to keep in mind that emails must not be treated as spam or never opened by the end user. To avoid such glitches, subject line and user language play a pivotal role.

Mobile Marketing:
A recent study stated that about 96% of doctors use smartphones and tablets to view healthcare-related information. As an organizer consider using long-tail keywords – 3-4 word phrases- in search engines and create a mobile & tablet version of your website.

Social Media Marketing:
Social media marketing is breaking barriers through its reach, providing inside scoop, and making content visually appealing & engaging. CME organizers can utilize a variety of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WordPress, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, Quora, Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Tumblr. The key is to engage your audience using pop quizzes, photo & video galleries, trivia, tidbits, webcast, testimonies, polling, ratings, and creating unique hashtags.
