Passionate

What differentiates average talent buyers from a great one is their passion for the performing arts. If your talent buyers share the same taste in music as you, they are a good fit to match your requirements. A professional driven by passion will go above and beyond to find the perfect artist for your venue. 

Experienced 

Talent booking is a ruthless process which is why you should hire someone with thick skin.  They should be able to navigate through this wild and harsh industry. An experienced talent buyer will think 10 steps ahead before making a move and come with a contingency plan in case Plan A goes off track. 

Resourceful 

The world of showbiz is based on trust built over time. Your talent buyer will have attended a wide genre of events in his lifetime and garnered trust in the talent buying and entertainment industry. A person who has a powerful network is like your personal Event Setup Wizard that can sell out your venue. For that definitive edge, you can get onboard with Yapsody – the No. 1 provider of headline concert services.

Efficient Communicator & Negotiator

A typical day in the life of a talent buyer involves communicating and negotiating with musicians, agents, managers, venue owners, and so on. You will need some whose core skills involve bargaining, sharp communication, and a convincing spirit. Talent booking involves a lot of paperwork and legalities, so your talent buyer needs to be tactful and ethical.

Receptive

Being in touch with the latest trends in the industry is a pre-requisite for any talent buying agency. The world is evolving rapidly and so is the entertainment industry. Make sure your talent buyer is on deck with all the latest developments so that your venue is not missing out on anything. They should also be receptive to the local entertainment scene because you never know when you might encounter new talents in the community.

We know the amount of time and energy goes into fuelling a business. So much so that you don’t have time to shortlist resumes and sit through interviews.

Concerts

Concerts can get tricky as they have multiple dimensions such as talent buying, production, ticketing, and patron building. This is why having a good talent buyer can serve your casino well. Through concerts, you can pull in audiences who never would’ve never stepped into your casino. They might end up spending a few bucks at the slots or craps table in the process of strolling through your casino.

Live Music Bands

Live music bands are usually placed in diners and lounges that lure patrons in. Food and alcohol are classic chasers that complement any genre of music thus adding to the overall casino business. Running a casino might be your forte, but foodies don’t mind returning to your casino just for the elegant vibe they experienced through your lounge services. 

Dancers and Performers

Another classic form of Vegas showbiz is having individual artists and performers that contribute to a fun, high-energy environment on the casino floors. No casino floor is complete without the glitz and glam of these dancers, magicians, fire performers, and acrobats adding a bit of sizzle to the casino.

Masterchef

An extension of the popular TV series, Masterchef events are well-known to draw participation from your patrons. Food is a universal social glue that is bound to please the masses. Whether your guests are participating or simply watching, it’s a fresh idea to boost your overall entertainment value. Throwing in a celebrity chef in the mix will also add a whole new flavor to the entire event.  

With two decades of industry expertise spanning across concert promotion and production, we bring you these sought-after insights that will give a much-needed boost to your casino party ideas. Contact Us if you need an end-to-end solution to meet your talent buying needs.

Entertain 

Make sure to start with a bang. It could be an emailer, blog, or social media post. Your storytelling starts the moment anyone engages with your brand either through a flyer or an Instagram post, so make sure your stories keep them hooked. It should intrigue and encourage them to learn more about your event. Stay true to your brand and event persona as everyone loves to see the uniqueness. 

Educate 

Once you’ve had their attention, your storytelling should deliver value in terms of your event offering. You can achieve this once you’ve studied your target audience that’ll help you dissipate information accordingly. Don’t give away all the good stuff at once like a bad movie trailer as the best reveals are always at the main screening. Similarly, give glimpses of what to expect without creating false expectations. Take them on a journey through previous events you’ve done and the artist’s testimonials.

Inspire 

Once you’ve gained momentum weaving an engaging narrative, it’s time to embed your event persona. Good stories will stay with your audience and hold a powerful place in their memories. Channel all that emotional build-up into a CTA that binds into your campaign objective. Even on the off-chance that they couldn’t book a ticket or make it to the event, they will keep their eyes peeled for your next event announcement. Just because you struck an emotional chord through your event marketing. 

Combine these actionable narratives that will boost your event experience. Coupled with Yapsody’s Event Setup Wizard,  you can immerse them in an engaging ticketing experience and lead them to the desired conclusion. With our Event Marketing Services, they will be buzzing about your event even after it’s done which in return will create user-generated content on social media. 

Last but not least, with every good story, there’s room for positive feedback or reviews which is why a mobile-friendly ticketing system comes in handy for your attendees to leave a quick word about you.

The post 3 Ways Of Storytelling To Boost Your Event Experience appeared first on Yapsody.

Add a Seating Chart

Speak to your venue-manager and procure a venue seating chart that can be uploaded on our ticketing platform. This will help you map the sections with the seating chart uploaded by you and dictate the prices accordingly.

Add Reserved Seating Sections

You will have an option to add a General Admission or a Reserved Seating section as per your Seating Chart. You can also add multiple General Admission and Reserved Sections as per your Seating Chart. Once you’ve finished adding rows and columns, add colors to seats to designate pricing tiers. 

Create Holds

With Yapsody’s Box Office Interface, you can easily create and book hold tickets for multiple categories such as VIP and artists to assign their seats beforehand. 

Ticket Customization

Your seating plan is incomplete without a stable ticketing system. With Yapsody, you let your ticket design reflect your brand. Use event imagery and illustrations to get your attendees excited about your event. What’s more? Add upcoming event details in your ticket to promote your next event.

Payment Integration 

Yapsody supports 170+ currencies and over 10 payment gateways such as PayPal, Stripe, Braintree, and WePay for you to choose from.  You also have the flexibility to separately enable payment method for the Virtual Box Office and Online Ticket Store. When it comes to making payments, Yapsody gives multiple choices to your attendees like credit, debit and pay later option.

Notify Presenter Policy (NPP)

For us, every event presenter is equally important, whether you sell 10 or 100,000 tickets for your event. If your attendee is having doubts, we’ll send an email to you requesting clarification on the same and then your ticket buyer will be updated about it. This ensures 100% customer satisfaction. We re-direct ticket buyers for Refund issue to you and also send you an intimation email about the same. If your ticket buyer wants to buy tickets for an already sold-out event, we immediately inform you about it. This has helped our presenters to boost their online ticket sales even after an event is sold out and generate additional revenue.

YapScan

Lastly, your event should be seamless during the check-in and ticket validation process where you cannot afford hiccups. YapScan turns all your event managers smartphones into a fully functional ticket validating device that can be used for scanning e-ticket barcodes, cross-checking names, e-ticket numbers, or simply scrolling through the attendee list.

Negotiation Skills

If you chose the event industry, without having negotiation skills, you’re sure to shut down your business in a few months. Every time you strike that conversation with the food supplier or the venue owner, the price you pay depends on how well you negotiate with your stakeholders. Everything comes with practice and experience. So, if you think you should stop organizing events only because you can’t work out a cost plan suitable for both, don’t give up. Read books or watch videos on negotiation skills and you’ll get there with time.

Patience

Juggling between multiple events, handling irate attendees and dealing with last-minute event issues all at the same time is every event manager’s story. While the lack of sleep and the unending stress before the event can turn you into an irritable person, without patience, you’re sure to kill almost every third person you meet. But when you’re in the events industry, patience is your best friend. Again just like the negotiation skills, as you keep handling events, your patience levels just get better with time.

Team

Imagine a day at work without your team. You’ll probably go bonkers, right? From planning an event to selling tickets online, you’ve got a whole lot of activities you need to delegate. You can’t be a superman and handle everything all by yourself. With Yapsody’s User Management System, you can secure your information with detailed user permissions. Assign roles to your team members based on their duties in the virtual box office. Protect your data by providing access only to the information your team member will need.

Mobile Phone

A mobile phone is everyone’s necessity today and for an event manager, it is no different. Since most of your time is spent coordinating with the stakeholders, a day without a mobile phone seems absolutely impossible. At Yapsody, we turn your mobile phones into a ticket scanning device. That way, you ensure the queues are quickly cleared through easy validation using our mobile app – YapScan. 

Event Management Software

As an event manager, handling multiple tasks can be time-consuming. But with the event management software, a lot of tasks are taken care of all in one place. If you are wondering what are the uses of an event management software, the list is endless. From event registration, check-in to event promotion and reporting, this software takes care of almost everything for an event manager. Without it, you’ll surely feel like you’re in the primitive age.

Reporting App

We bet you’ll spend sleepless nights without your reporting app. While most reporting apps offer information on event ticket sales, Yapsody’s reporting app – YapStats gives its event managers real-time data directly on the Android/iOS device. Not just that, you can integrate Google Analytics with your account and directly check the performance of your marketing campaign on your mobile phone. We told you, you can’t lose your phone. 

Effective Email Marketing Application

Email marketing is the most important way of communicating with your attendees. From sending personal email invites, reminders to communicating with the stakeholders, an effective email application is a must. Knowing the impact it creates on your events, life without an effective email can’t be imagined. 

With our MailChimp integration, Yapsody event managers can easily reach out to a wider audience and promote their events by sending personalized emails to their attendees.  

Wifi/Internet

Without WiFi, you can’t check the reports or send out emails to your attendees. Event managers face a lot of difficulties when they have to visit rural places to organize events. Due to a lack of signal coverage, internet connectivity gets affected, which in turn can lead to a delay in event promotion. Since the internet is something event managers can’t live without, they find hacks to increase every bar of signal they receive. Dongles, Mifi’s and boosters are some of the great solutions event managers can use to ensure work doesn’t stop no matter what.

Attendees

How can you even create events if your attendees are missing? They are your show stoppers, the reason why you exist. Never ignore your attendees, appreciate and engage with them before and after the event. Maintain a healthy relationship with them and they’ll promote your event better than any other promotional channel would. Once in a while, offer giveaways, discounts and always focus on offering a great experience to make sure they keep coming back for more.

Luckily, event managers, today don’t have to live without an event management software.

The post 9 Things an Event Manager Can’t Do Without appeared first on Yapsody.

Invite a Local Band

People love live music. It can change the entire ambiance of your cafe. While it will attract all the music lovers, you can encourage your customers to shake a leg or two if they like the music played.  You can approach a couple of local bands and keep giving your customers a mix of all types of music. For example, every Friday, the local Jazz band can put up a great show, while the weekend can be saved for the type of music preferred by most of your customers.

Stand-Up Comedy

Laughing your guts out once in a while is great for health, besides de-stressing you from work and responsibilities. Invite comedy artists at your cafe to perform a stand-up comedy act. If your budget permits, we’d recommend you to invite celebrity comedians like Rob Schneider to perform at your cafe. Make sure you promote your events on social media, send out email invites and watch your cafe become popular overnight. 

Theme Party

There are 100’s of themes available if you want to plan a themed party at your cafe. Check out our blog on ‘21 themes for your next event’. One of the themes that’s on the top of our mind is the retro theme. Let your customers dress up polka dots and floral prints. If your cafe has enough space to create a ramp, you can have a fashion show with retro music in the background. 

Wine Tasting Event

Do you want to see people flocking to your cafe? Organize a wine tasting event, offer a great deal and promote it on social media. You’ll be surprised to see the turn out at your cafe. Don’t turn off the mood by offering your customers cheap quality tasteless wines. It’s an opportunity to convert these customers into your fans. Offer different varieties and good quality wines for your event. 

Candlelight Dinner for Couples  

Due to work and responsibilities, couples tend to spend less time together. Allow them to spend a romantic evening at your cafe. Organize a candlelight dinner. Play soft music in the background and let the mood set in. Create an ambiance your guests will fall in love with. Offer your guests a check-in discount. For example, every couple can get a 20% off on their bill for checking in on your social media profile. 

Sports Night

Be it office colleagues or a group of friends, people love watching a game together. During the day, you can run a regular cafe, but as the sun sets, your cafe converts into a sports bar. But if you think a regular sports cafe can be challenging, you can host sports nights during popular events like the World Cup or the Olympics.

Holiday Parties 

The holiday season is arriving soon. You can organize holiday parties for adults, kids, and families. Host games and fun activities that’ll spread joy and warmth this holiday season. If you’re looking for Christmas party games ideas for adults or kids, we’ve got plenty. Read our blog ‘9 Party Games for Christmas: Adult Edition’ and ‘12 Ultimate Christmas Party Games Ideas for Kids’ to know more. In addition to that, you can also organize Christmas lunch parties for offices and make it engaging with some office party games.

Cook-Off 

Organizing an ordinary cook-off is no fun. You can add a twist to it. Give the participants the names of a few popular dishes from your cafe and ask them to recreate it themselves. Participants who manage to create the same dish or whoever is the closest tastewise is the winner. The chef can be the judge at this event.

Karaoke Event 

People love karaoke nights. You can organize one to keep everyone entertained. It works best when there are large groups at your event. All you have to do is arrange for a mic and a projector and your karaoke night will turn into a fun night for all. To ensure maximum participation, you can have a lucky draw for the singers. A meal or a drink on the house can be a great prize.

Singles Night

Singles night is another great way of attracting customers to your cafe. Organize singles night with a lot of fun activities and games. Organizing speed dating is also a superb way of letting singles meet up at your cafe. This way the singles can meet a lot more people in a single evening. Through fun activities, they can spend enough time to know each other before they move on to the next date. 

While you host several activities, do make sure you connect with your customers and maintain a relationship with them. Use social media to promote all events you organize. Offer promo codes and discounts like we offer. If you’re planning regular events at your cafe, sell tickets online and make the most of our event ticketing system. Yapsody offers some of the best features at a great price.

The post 10 Entertainment Activities To Make Your Cafe The Talk of the Town appeared first on Yapsody.

The World of Showbiz

It’s not just about slot machines and high-stakes gambling in every casino. Casinos rake in a lot of money on the regular from in-house entertainment, concerts, music gigs, stand-up comedians, and entertainers. Some of the hottest names in the world of showbiz perform in the casinos of Vegas. These performances pull in those crowds that may or may not be in for the gambling. Now, how does a casino manage all of these on their own? They surely do not possess the bandwidth of managing the casino and other artists on their gaming floor, right? This is where talent buyers come in. 

Who are Talent Buyers?

Talent buyers are crucial in the casino industry for their unmatched attention to all the ancillary services. The primary goal of a talent buyer is to source the right kind of entertainment while keeping the casino’s business goals in mind. A good talent buyer knows exactly which artist works best for their audience and knows how to get them to perform at their venue.

A great talent buyer automates the entire process of talent sourcing through a concert and ticketing platform like Yapsody.

What Does It Mean For Your Casino?

Concerts and musical performances on the gaming floor are meant to draw people in so that they can dine in the restaurants, have a luxurious experience either by sitting in the lounge having a drink, groove to a live band, or simply strolling through the gaming floor. They all serve one purpose: to give people a fun experience and keep them in the casino. 

Total Control Of Talent Buying

With Yapsody, you can take control of your talent buying with data-driven insights, feasible routing points, and access a large database of artists with the most favorable terms. Also, equipped with an expert analytics team, Yapsody leverages data that determines a talent’s true value and cuts down the overall production cost. This methodology cuts down all the risk profiles which maximize your casino profit. If your concert requires ticketing or invite based entry, Yapsody automates that as well, so that you don’t have to deal with promoters. Not only that, our marketing team explores all the digital marketing possibilities to bring in more customers. A talent buyer who realizes the true potential of this tool can truly run your casino like a boss. 

The post Why Does Your Casino Need A Talent Buyer appeared first on Yapsody.

MasterChef 

Food is a multicultural social glue that binds communities together. Masterchef fundraisers are perfect for supporting an upcoming local restaurant or any other cause. Gather all your foodie friends and family to participate with an entry fee. It could be a food fest too if the nearby food joints sponsor and let teams participate in cook-offs based on their popular menu items. 

Musical Fundraiser

Benefit concerts are a great crowd puller. Whether you live in a small town or a huge cultural hub, a musical evening coupled with food and booze will guarantee a heavy footfall. Also, you never know which record label might turn up scouting for raw talent. Invite your local bands to rock out those riffs while the other participants have a go at the karaoke section. Keep the fundraiser open to a wide spectrum of genres. 

Casino Royale 

A bit of a posh affair, a black-tie affair themed around the British spy requires a lot of effort. With precise planning, a Casino Royale fundraiser offers dozens of ways to raise funds including poker tournaments, individual sponsorships, corporate sponsorships, and ticket sales. Keep these events high priced to keep the guest list exclusive and attract a wealthy roster. 

Movie Night 

With different genres to choose from, you can alternate your movie screenings based on the demography. All you need is a comfy location, inflatable movie screen, film rentals, and projection equipment. Setting up a private movie screening at a theatre that serves food and beverages also works wonders. Make sure you use Yapsody’s ticketing platform to streamline the process and get a FLAT 50% rebate. 

Trivia Night 

This one works well with smaller groups as a monthly affair. Hosting a trivia night for the history and sci-fi aficionados at your local pub or a pizza joint won’t pinch you financially as an event manager. A fundraiser like these harbors community building and brings a lot of business for the pub or restaurant which they can contribute to your cause as well. A win-win. Take our quiz if you’re a whizz-kid. 

Book Sale 

Another fundraiser that strikes a chord with the intellectuals and doesn’t demand strong finances. This fundraiser should bring together those who are cleaning out their bookshelves with those who like to read for a bargain price. Connect with your local authors, coffee shops, schools, and colleges to collaborate on the fundraiser. A book reading and signing should do the trick. 

Get Artsy 

Not every artist gets visibility for their work which is why these fundraisers work in their favor. Have an art opening where people buy a ticket to attend an auction of different art pieces. To make it more engaging, allow participants to try their hand at painting, pottery, calligraphy and so on. 

Go Green 

The need of the hour is saving our planet. A fundraiser in the form of a flea market that sells plants, organic and solar-energy products, seeds, and re-usable shopping bags are in demand. The proceeds should be directed towards planting more trees in environmentally sensitive areas. 

Gamers Unite 

You can start a general fundraiser or rally your fellow gaming brethren to launch a support campaign through an annual competition where a portion of their winnings is given away for charity. Approach gamers, YouTubers, and techies for these events for marketing it. 

Junk Donation Fundraiser

An old school trick that is relevant right now. Gather a group of volunteers that have the time and tact to go from door to door and round up unused junk like scrap metal, newspapers, and plastics. Bringing them to the recyclers will get a few extra bucks and make the community clutter-free. 

If you are an NGO or a non-profit company planning a fundraiser, you can avail 50% off on your ticketing fees with Yapsody's ticketing system for a streamlined process.

The post 10 Themes That Will Inspire Your Next Fundraiser appeared first on Yapsody.

Virtual Box Office

With multiple activities to handle while organizing an event, time is what you need. For example, this holiday season if you’ve planned 10 events, you wouldn’t want to create each event from scratch. This must-have feature helps you save a whole lot of time. We call it “The Virtual Box Office”. It gives you single-click access to the event wizard, real-time sales analytics, reporting, inventory management and a lot more. Are you wondering how does it save time? It has a performance customization feature that lets you create multiple events in no time. Using this feature, you can simply copy your existing event and make changes to it.

Online Ticket Store

Does your event management software offer you a platform to showcase your events? Another feature you must consider is the online ticket store which is also referred to as the events page. This store lets you display all your events in a single page. 

The online ticket store is like the stage of a theater, it’s the most happening drama everyone wants to see. It’s where your attendees can see the event details like the date, artist information, and address of the venue. When you promote your event online, they are directed to the online store to purchase tickets. With Yapsody’s event management software, you can customize your store the way you like it. You can add your brand logo, colors, images of your artists and external links to your social media pages. You can also geo-tag your events so your attendees know how to get to the venue.

Multiple Payment Gateway

When you deal with your attendees’ hard-earned money, you can’t take a risk. Payment gateways are a secure way of collecting payments. When an attendee buys a ticket, these systems authorize payments from the attendee’s account directly to your bank account.

While most event ticketing companies may have limited payment gateway options, our event management software offers multiple choices to you. Our popular payment gateways include Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, WePay and many others for close to 60 countries across the globe. That way, you receive the money from the ticket sales directly to your bank account.

Multi-language Support

As an event manager, you don’t want the language to be a barrier between you and your audience. An event management software with multi-language support gives you an upper edge as compared to your competitors. 

Whether you’re in France, Spain or Germany, our event management software lets you create your event in your native language. Our software supports 15 prominent languages so you can connect with your attendees easily without a communication barrier. Apart from language, we also support 170+ currencies across the globe. Do you want to check if your currency is supported? Click here to find out.

Seating Arrangement Options

Attendees look for convenience, especially in the world of digitalization wherein most attendees want to reserve their seats or buy general admission tickets in advance. The seating arrangement feature not only offers convenience but also lets the attendees pick their preferred seat from anywhere and anytime.

Be it a club event or tech conference, using our event management software, you can recreate your venue with our interactive seating plan creator. That way, there’s no war before the event and you don’t have to be the bouncer to stop the ‘seat fight’.

Event Marketing

As an expert event manager, you’d definitely agree that marketing can change the entire ticket selling game. Event marketing as a feature can help you easily promote your event on different social media sites and help you reach out to a wider audience. 

We at Yapsody incorporated this golden feature in our event software management software so you don’t have to approach any event marketing agency to do the job for you. All you need to do is create your event and you can directly promote it on multiple popular social media profiles. Alternatively, once you’re with Yapsody, we promote your events for free. This is how we do it: We

• Share your events on our social media profiles
• Feature your events on our blogs
• Post your events on our website using the premium event listing feature.

Ticket Customization

It’s the holiday season, you’ll have themed parties, Halloween nights or Christmas dinner. With the ticket customization feature, you can set yourself apart.
