Get higher attendance rates in a bumpy economy with these useful tips!


Waking up to the local news blaring reports of the Dow Jones industrial average forces us all to evaluate if we’re utilizing every tactic possible to keep business popping, and our audiences loyal. Here are some tips on how to keep crowds coming to your events during economic hardship…

Keep the invites up! Invite everyone you can think of even if it’s a distant acquaintance and you just so happen to still have their contact in an old e-mail account - Just send the invite! Even if a few guests don’t show, eventually as your number of attendees goes up they will start to reconsider. The more invites you send the more likely people are to pay attention to it and once the word is out, all you’ll have to do is keep the buzz going.

Incentives to attend an event should always be high. Most people who come out aren’t just looking to see a few friends, so give them something to look forward to and promote every deal possible. Free drinks, celebrity appearances, bottle specials, live entertainment, giveaways, cheap vip, free entry to the after party – there are tons of ways to get people interested in your event. It’s up to you to make sure that everyone knows your event has a big pay off for showing up. Most venues and promoters use specials to get new people in the door, but we can help you give them incentives to keep coming back.

CustomEventTickets.com suggests using High Security Thermal Tickets because not only will you have the highest quality tamper proof ticket, but you can also use it as a promotional tool.

Have you ever opened your favorite entertainment magazine to find a small black and white code that looks kind of like something you’d see on a shipped package? These codes are called QR codes (short for Quick Response code) and they are perfect for connecting to your audience. They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or show you a URL which you can click to see a promotional video for an event, or it may give you a rewards coupon to buy merchandise from the venue. Some promoters use it to connect through Twitter, and Facebook. Others use it to give discounted entry for their next event. The best thing about QR codes is that once the data is saved in a person’s cell phone, Most Venues that utilize QR codes on their Thermal Tickets see an increase in return customers. This added feature can help turn a one time entry into a regular party goer!
