Believe it or not your speaker or other campus guest cares whether or not you get a good turn-out for your event. And many speakers are willing to get involved and help you promote your event to students, faculty, staff and the local community in any way they can. The best speakers know what draws people to their events and are often willing to devote extra time to insure your success.
