Event Safety Regulations Expected By Attendees In The New Normal

Yapsody — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 05:40:09 +0000

Wondering about the likeliness of event attendees turning up to your upcoming events and shows? This is one standard question that has been floating around in every organizer’s mind. We designed a logic-based survey to help us gather useful insights and data from event attendees all across the USA. One of the most crucial parameters in our survey was Sanitisation and Hygiene preferences that are expected by these participants in the “New Normal”.

If you wish to understand your audience better and elevate your safety standards, download our full infographic here – Audience Expectations In A Post-COVID Era.

For those wanting to briefly glance through their attendee expectations in the “New Normal”, here’s what you need to know.

1. Choice of Venue

Based on our reports, your choice of venue will play a key role in attracting older and newer audiences. The likelihood of attending outdoor events or shows is higher compared to indoor shows across fan categories. It’s natural to see event attendees wanting to be more distant and spaced out from other guests.

The likelihood of attending events also seems higher among regular concert-goers when compared to those who attend 2 or fewer events in a year. Learn more about Choosing Between Indoor & Outdoor Venues here.

2. Mandatory Face Masks At The Event

Goes without saying, attendees are expecting safety masks to be one of the most basic rules at your next event. No Mask = No Entry should be the norm.

The mandatory regulation of face masks with 6 feet of social distancing from strangers appears to be the most-preferred among participants for both indoor and outdoor concerts.

3. Regular Sanitisation & Disinfection

Your attendees not only need standard safety precautions like above but they also expect event organizers and venue owners to do their part. How? By investing in regular disinfection and sanitization programs. This will not only garner loyalty towards your brand but also keep their peace of mind intact.

As one of the industry leaders, we can definitely tell you that following these guidelines will help you stay ahead of your competitors and acquire newer audiences. Once you’re ready to create your upcoming events, don’t forget to use our COVID Recovery Offer that will help you stabilize your cash flow.

A Guide To Creating Safer Live Events In The New Normal

Yapsody — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 05:31:22 +0000

If like us, you were also feeling shut-in for the past few months we don’t blame you. Virtual events may have kept your audiences’ attention along the way but nothing comes close to the real deal, right? With safety regulations and sanitization protocols taking center stage in the “New Normal”, are you prepared to take your event planning to the next level? If yes, don’t forget to make use of our COVID Recovery Offer before creating a live event to manage cash flow better.

Our guide to creating safer live events and shows will help you stay ahead of the curve. Here’s what you need to take care of:

1. Make Social Distancing & Masks Mandatory

Until and unless there is a vaccine in the upcoming months, event organizers will have to strictly incorporate 6 feet distancing with mandatory masks at their live events. The best-case scenario given the current climate would be to make wearing masks obligatory while maintaining safe distances. Not only the attendees but also your on-ground staff should be proactive in adapting to PPE kits and necessary safety gear.

Our US concert survey yielded some very important figures that will help you plan better in terms of event safety in the coming months.

2. Choose The Right Venue

The most crucial element that has major payoff when it comes to your overall event experience. Being an event organizer, this one of the major dilemmas being faced even by industry professionals.

In a recent survey conducted by us, we gathered insights to help you choose between an indoor or an outdoor venue. More than half of the US survey participants are more likely to attend live concerts outdoors whereas approximately 33% percent were happy to be in an indoor setting with mandatory social distancing rules. Learn more about Choosing Between Indoors & Outdoor Venues.

3. Thorough Thermal Scanning At The Multiple Touchpoints

Apart from the regular sanitization of multiple touchpoints at your event venue, you need to conduct thermal scanning along with your ticket scanning process. Invest in a piece of good quality equipment that reads temperature accurately.

4. Place Sanitization Stations Strategically

Whether you choose to go with an indoor or outdoor event venue, your attendees will expect sanitization stations at multiple touchpoints such as entry, exit, balcony, smoking area, restrooms, lounge, and dining areas. Choose spots where your attendees can maintain social distancing while getting sanitized without hesitation.

5. Go For Pre-Packaged Food Options

No event would be complete without food and dining options to satiate your event attendees’ appetite. However, given the circumstances, opt for pre-packaged meals that are included in the price of your ticket. But in case you plan on going for a buffet, monitor your queues to make sure social distancing is being followed.

We hope this guide gets you started for planning your upcoming events in the second half of 2020. Learn more about Audience Behavior In A Post-COVID Era here.

Planning For The New Normal: Choosing Between Indoor & Outdoor Venues

Yapsody — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 14:35:57 +0000

One of the biggest questions for event presenters in the hospitality and live entertainment industry remains to be answered as we edge closer to the “New Normal”. With regulations being eased off gradually, event organizers have started feeling optimistic about organizing shows and live events in the upcoming months. However, the planning and strategy involved to organize an event in the current scenario rotates around a big question – WHICH VENUE DO I OPT FOR?

Having conducted a survey to gauge live concert attendee preferences in the USA, here’s some data that’ll help you choose whether you should opt for an Indoor or Outdoor venue.

1. Indoor Venues

Considering the critical situation that we’re in, it would seem that about 66% of live concert attendees would not prefer it whereas the rest 33% would be likely to attend an indoor event.

Apart from that, 48% of attendees also made it clear that they would only attend an indoor event if mandatory face mask + 6 feet distancing was strictly followed. Whereas 38% were happy with just a mandatory facemask rule at the venue. For those presenters who are looking to start small in their indoor venues, this is a great opportunity to up your regulations and get going.

2. Outdoor Venues

Outdoor events were always the choice favorites among event attendees with or without the COVID pandemic coming into effect. However, now more than ever approximately half of U.S. respondents are likely to attend live concerts outdoors. The likelihood of attending concerts seems higher among regular concert-goers when compared to those who attend 2 or fewer events in a year.

Apart from that, 57% of attendees made it clear that they would only attend an outdoor event if mandatory face mask + 6 feet distancing was strictly followed. Whereas 48% were happy with just a mandatory facemask rule. This is a good sign for event presenters and venue owners to take this data into consideration while planning their outdoor events.

We understand how event presenters around the world are rightfully skeptical about springing back into action. With businesses coming to halt in the past few months, one might feel doubtful about breaking into their investments for an upcoming event. However, based on our survey conducted for the US, a good percentage of event attendees are looking forward to your events.

To take the load off your back, we’re extending our COVID Recovery Offer to every entity out there needing help with their cash flow at the moment. Our goal is to jump-start the event community back on its feet, collectively.

COVID RECOVERY OFFER

Our recovery offer is part of our unwavering support in helping every hospitality-based entities to spring back in action by organizing their upcoming events and maintain their cash flow as well.

What Do Attendees Expect From Your Events In The New Normal?

Yapsody — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 13:44:43 +0000

As the global hospitality and entertainment industry gradually prepares for the new normal, many event organizers and venue owners have started ramping up their plans for organizing events for the upcoming months. As an event ticketing partner for many, we’ve witnessed event presenters following an insight-based approach by using our questionnaires & surveys feature to their fullest. You can learn more about Asking The Right Question To Your Event Attendees and then follow up with these standard strategies that would please your attendee’s wishes.

Here’s What Your Event Attendees Expect In The New Normal

1. Facemask & Social Distancing Norms

The number one concern for event attendees for attending an indoor or outdoor event – Mandatory facemask with social distancing protocols in place. Unless you make it clear in your marketing communications about these rules and regulations, event attendees are highly unlikely to attend your event. We suggest starting off with a smaller group of attendees as a test run to see if protocols are diligently adopted.

A recent US survey created by us showcases audience preferences that will help you stay ahead.

2. Discounts and Pricing Packages

The global economy taking a hit, it’s natural that many of your event attendees and guests would expect a discount or a lucrative pricing package that makes it easier on their pocket to attend your upcoming events. Our event ticketing platform makes it easier for you to add different types of discounts for your ticket buyers. As an event presenter, this strategy will help you retain your existing audience and maybe even acquire newer ones.

3. Regular Sanitisation of Venues

Live entertainment events have been known to disturb the hygiene and there’s nothing you can do to avoid it. However, you can invest in certain post-event sanitization programs for your audience’s peace of mind. Don’t forget to communicate about it to your event attendees as they would be eager to attend events in venues following strict hygiene standards.

4. Better Seating Arrangements

Regulations are easing off gradually as we speak, but the question remains – indoor venus or outdoor venues? This depends entirely on the type of event and the size of the audience. A larger outdoor venue is suited for a food fair or a drive-in concert where people don’t need to be seated, whereas you might consider an indoor venue for a smaller conference or an exhibition where seating is spaced out accordingly.

5. Gift Cards Against Ticket Refunds & Cancellation

An answer to event cancellations that surged during the peak of the COVID pandemic, gift cards are going to be the savior for many event presenters. You can transfer the amount of the ticket value into a gift card which can be availed by them later at your venue. This strategy will not only save your event investments but also retain your attendee’s loyalty towards you. A venue-specific branded gift card creates a strong brand recall in their minds as well.

P.S. – The Gift Card feature is scheduled to be available on our event ticketing platform really soon.

Questions You Should Ask Your Event Attendees During The COVID-Era

Yapsody — Thu, 21 May 2020 05:30:31 +0000

With businesses being brought to a standstill, event organizers, sponsors, and event attendees are in a cloud of uncertainty as to what comes next? However, with medical personnel doing their best and government regulations finally being eased off progressively, the hospitality and entertainment industry sees a ray of hope.

If you’re one of those who can’t wait to get back on your feet, here are few survey questions that you can start off with to plan your events better in this new normal. Our event ticketing platform comes with a Surveys & Questionnaires feature to help you get the desired insights for planning better.

Here are Questions You Should Ask Your Event Attendees During The COVID Era

1. How likely are you to attend an indoor or outdoor event?

Start off slow and easy with a two-part question that helps you understand their current frame of mind. You should cover parameters that reflect the likelihood of them wanting to attend an indoor or outdoor event at a range of 0-10, 0 being highly unlikely and 10 being most likely.

2. What kind of safety regulations are you expecting at your next event?

This all-important question will dictate the future of the events industry until the time a vaccine is made available. List down the most relevant options for hygiene and safety which you and your venue owner can accommodate.

3. What do you think should be a mandate at the next live concert?

Push a little harder on that they exactly want. Once you get the survey results, you can accurately place a benchmark on that one particular rule or regulation that will be mandatory at your next event.

4. Which kind of events are you more likely to attend?

Give them a mix of outdoor and indoor options for those events that you have in mind. This solves another problem of having to decide on your own regarding what would be the best bet when it comes to organizing your next event.

5. Would you attend the event venue if…?

Broaden your survey insights with this question. Maybe they want a discount, or a free safety gear, or maybe a fully sanitized venue. These answers should best reflect what you or your venue owner can accommodate by keeping your cash flow in mind.

We hope these survey questions help you get started for collecting useful insights that will help you strategize better. For those looking to manage their cash flow better, can use our recovery offer to stabilize event investment.
