Outdoor Events & Advance Ticket Sales

by Eugene Loj

Allow me to be direct ... Most event organizers/event marketers are clueless on how to run an effective email marketing campaign. What starts as well intentioned communication, turns into a SPAM fest (per their own list subscribers). SPAM is the main reason so many people are hesitant to give you their first name and email. Unfortunately, these factors make it very difficult for the well intentioned event organizer. There is hope!

How would you like to be in the minority of people who do email marketing - profitably and with the admiration of their list?

Watch the quick video below. It addresses what might be the most important component in keeping your list subscribers happy ...

How to Market Your Event with Email and Avoid Being a SPAMMER!

As you probably know, redesigning your event website can be quite a daunting task. The redesign process isn't helped by all the technological "bells and whistles." What was once just an HTML document with graphics ... Has become a mismash of different programing languages, databases, online videos, search engine optimization, email marketing, and the list goes on!  Ultimately, it gets harder and harder to make good web development decisions.

There is one constant that you cannot afford to forget ...

This is might be the most common question people ask, "how do I stop worrying about people showing up to my event?" The short answer ... you need to sell out your event.

You're probably thinking, "yeah right! If it was only THAT easy to sell out my event!" Worrying about attendance is one of those things that will stress out the most seasoned of event organizer. It leads to sleepless nights and lots of anxiety ... No money = you having to worry!

But instead of working you up any more, I have some straightforward advice to get you headed in the right direction ...

During a recent Event Marketing Q&A with Roman Jakubowycz from National Strategic, we gave a few quick ideas - If you can't sell out your event easily - the biggest key to a worry free event is advance ticket sales. Money in the bank means that you don't have to think about going bankrupt during your event. Imagine how it would feel, NOT having to worry about attendance?  Pretty darn good!

Check out the video below (an excerpt from a recent Q&A) for some quick info on selling lots of advance sale tickets ... (Do that and you can stop worrying about people showing up!) Also, I've included links on advance ticket sales, below the video. Do me a favor and leave a comment or question, below - thanks!
