If you’re an event planner, pub owner, or a hospitality enterprise here’s how you can plan smart, manage it closely, and expect the unexpected. 

1. Choose Your Venues and Routes

Choose your pubs and bars carefully and give their venue owner a heads-up in advance. You’d want pubs that have a cult-like following and have a great space to accommodate your group. Pro tip – your first and last pub should have great food. You need to plan for food early on and when the crawl is coming to an end. 

2. Establish Your Party Size and Duration

Pub crawls are best suited for smaller groups of 10-15 people that are easily manageable. Don’t try to go for an all-nighter if amateurs are involved. A 4-5 hours pub crawl should be good enough to avoid letting people burn out faster. 

3. Find A Sponsor 

If you’re a pub owner, you can connect with one of the major alcohol brands to sponsor your pub crawls. If not that, as an event presenter you can pitch to companies that offer on-demand pick up and drops for all your crawlers. It’s always a great idea to partner with a sponsor that elevates your event marketing efforts. 

4. Set The Expectations Straight 

Once you’ve figured out all the finer details, it’s important to set a few ground rules in place. It’s important to communicate details such as ticket prices, meeting points, emergency contacts, rules, venues, dress codes prior to your event day.  

5. Create a Theme 

Themes are a great way to create uniformity in your event but not necessary. Set your expectations early when you set up your events on our event ticketing platform. With our Online Ticket Store, customize the look and feel of what your pub crawl theme is about to be. Thirsty Thursdays, anyone? 

6. Set Up Access Codes

Pub crawls are events which are very exclusive and involves a close-knit group of people. However, you may have super-busy attendees who might not turn up to the crawl until the group reaches the third pub. Create ease of entry for them by creating an invite-only entry. So, no matter how late they turn up, with our Access Codes feature you make them feel like a VIP. 

7. When the Spirits Start To Soar 

Let’s admit it. After a few shots and pints, emotions start flying all over the place and the vibes can get heated. Some might want to sit at the counter and order the bartender to whip up another margarita. It’s in these moments that you need to figure out if you need to step in or let them be for a few more minutes. Have a schedule but be flexible. As long as they handle themselves well, you’re good. 

8. Don’t Forget to Eat 

A no-brainer really. Don’t forget to eat before you drink and don’t forget to make your event attendees eat a good dinner at the end of your pub crawl. Provided that they haven’t been mixing their liquor, food will keep them steady and finish the pub crawl successfully. 

9. Hashtag your Crawl 

Chances are that people in your pub crawl will get blackout drunk and not have single memory of it. You should market the whole event by creating an event hashtag that your patrons can leverage to document their shots and moments. For a generation that lives for nights they can’t remember, social media always comes to the rescue. 

Our event ticketing platform is preferred by pub owners and event presenters worldwide for creating amazing pub events and selling it’s tickets online. Just in case you needed another reason to SIGN UP with 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.

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.

Grand Prix 

Inaugurated in 1950, The Formula One World Championship is truly a pinnacle in the world of motorsports. A typical F1 season consists of a series of races known as Grand Prix which takes place over different circuits all over the world. Watching it on the telly and watch it happen live are two different thrills altogether.  Your commitment to motorsport is truly rewarded when you witness the bleeding edge technology of the cars and the skills of the drivers live. 

FIFA World Cup 

If you’ve supported your school football team or played football in the rain, you’re aware of the raw energy that runs with it. Nerve-wracking moments filled with passion-filled moments of euphoria when your team scores a goal is a feeling next to none. Now, imagine supporting your tea in an international stadium instead of watching it on the telly.

These events are a once in a lifetime experience that will be etched in your memories forever.

The post Top 11 Reasons to Choose Yapsody for Your Holiday Season Event Listing appeared first on Yapsody.

Light it Up
It’s common to see lights across the city in the United States. But when it comes to Texas, you’ll see even the white-tailed deer wrapped in lights (just kidding!) If you’re planning to celebrate your holiday season a bit differently, follow the cherished tradition and create a trail of lights to go with the Texas theme.

Deck the Halls
In Texas, people love nature and will do anything to bring it indoors. If you’re a nature lover, say no to plastic and decorate your house with plants. Be it Tamales or Poinsettias, celebrate your holiday season with plants around you. You can also create a natural wreath made of magnolia or Spanish moss. Go Texan, add lights to it.

What’s Cooking?
Chili is the official state dish of Texas. If you love spicy food, you can make beef with chili peppers and other spices. Alternatively, you can make a sweet pecan pie if you have a sweet tooth like us. If your planning a Christmas brunch, surprise your guests with some Tacos or buy a box full of traditional Texas kolaches. To know more about how to host a Christmas brunch, read our complete blog here.

Pick your Christmas Tree
In Texas, cutting your own Christmas tree from the tree farms is a common sight. If you don’t want to take the harder way out, go pick your favorite Christmas tree from the sales guy at the parking lot. Or if you want to reuse the same Christmas tree every year, go for a plastic one that looks as good as real and spruce it up with beautiful twinkling lights and ornaments.

Host a Christmas Dance
Texans love to dance. If you want to make this holiday season unique, host a Christmas dance but the Texan way. Let your attendees dress up as cowboys and cowgirls. With the best cowboy hats and boots, entertaining live music and the traditional Texas dance, your event is going to be a great hit. Alternatively, you can use one of our Christmas party ideas if you planning it with a smaller group of friends.

Go Ice Skating
People in Texas know exactly how to enjoy their holiday season regardless of the weather. Since it doesn’t snow during that time of the year, Texan families prefer going to Fredericksburg’s Eisbahn Outdoor Ice Skating event. If you’re already celebrating your festive season in a snowy region, you can go ice skating with your family or friends and enjoy hot chocolate with some marshmallow cookies or create your own ice skating event with us.

Organize a Country Christmas Music Concert
When you listen to country music, you can relate to Texas. So, if you’re planning Texan style Christmas, host a Country Christmas music concert. If your attendees love country music, they’re going to have a ball at your concert. You can always depend on us for your ticketing needs and take advantage of our special holiday season offers.

Host a Dickens on the Strand Festival
An annual festival held in Galveston, highlighting the architecture and Charles Dickens’ work. Every year, Texans continue the tradition with parades, non-stop entertainment, carolers, bagpipers and musicians. If you’re into events, host a Christmas or Halloween parade with talented artists, zombies, jugglers juggling eyeballs and so on.

Organize a Barbecue
People in Texas love to barbecue. Barbecue for Texans is meat smoked over wood at low for several hours. While they love their beef, particularly brisket, you can go with your choice of meat accompanied by some Spanish bean salad. Get the party started with some entertaining music and barrels of beers.

Go Out
During the holiday season, people in Texas go out and celebrate. Be it tubing down the river with some chilled beer or taking the family to check out the trail of lights at Austin, Texans love going out. You can begin your holiday season celebrating Oktoberfest on Oct 17th in Texas (if you’re there).

The post How to Celebrate the Holiday Season Like A True Texan appeared first on Yapsody.

1. Plan your Events Well
Planning is an important aspect of our lives. When it comes to events, it’s nothing different. Since we’re talking about the Holiday season here, you may have multiple events that you’d like to schedule depending on the event dates. Whether it’s Christmas, Halloween or a local Oktoberfest, start planning early. Plan the timing well for your event. Let’s say if you’re planning a Halloween event for kids, change the time accordingly. Always plan your venue depending on the weather for that season. If you’re in the United States, the holiday season is chilly. While it is snowy and beautiful, your attendees will prefer to attend an event indoors for long hours. On the other hand, if you’re in Australia, the holiday season is in summer. Plan an outdoor event at the beach or by the pool to beat the heat.

2. Create an Event Checklist
The holiday season could mean back to back events and immense planning. If you haven’t created a checklist for each of them, there’s a chance you can end up making a huge blunder. Hence, create an event checklist of to-do tasks – creating a budget, choosing the event date and defining the stakeholders to name a few. Pick the theme you want to go with for Halloween and Christmas. To know more, read our complete blog on “The Event Planning Checklist You’ve Been Searching For”

3. Estimate Correct Ticket Prices
Once your budget is planned and you know approximately how many attendees are expected, you can calculate the cost of the ticket. There are two things you should consider while planning the cost of the ticket. One, plan the ticket price in a way that it covers all the expenses including emergency and two, sell tickets online for free by adding the ticketing fee to the cost of the tickets. That’s our “Pass On Fee” feature, we’re talking about. To know more, read our complete blog on “How To Price An Event Ticket in 3 Easy Steps”

4. Offer Different Ticket Types
Be it Christmas ice skating event or an indoor Halloween party, give your attendees multiple ticket options to choose from. With Yapsody, you can set up unlimited ticket types for your attendees. From general admission to reserved seating, regular to VIP tickets, we offer your everything to make your attendees experience a smooth one. Offer discounts on group tickets. You can create special Halloween or Christmas themed promo code tickets for your guests. Customize your tickets according to your holiday season theme using our ticket customization feature. Offer discounts for posting a photo with the tickets on social media. That way, you can reach out to new people organically.

5. Performance Customization
With recurring and multiple events, setting up each one on the event ticketing system can be a tedious task. Our online ticketing system lets you set up events easily. Once you have added an event, you can simply edit the same event and add the future event details in it. That saved time, right? Moreover, if you have already used Yapsody for your holiday events last year, it becomes even more simpler for you. Use the “Copy Existing Event feature” and make required editions including date and time changes and you are ready to start selling tickets in just a few minutes.

6. Promote your Events
The holiday season is here! People love to go out, connect, explore and meet new people. Holiday events give your attendees the opportunity to meet, greet and have a great time together. Let people know about your holiday season upcoming events well in advance either on social media or through email marketing. Implement SEO hacks to increase the visibility of your event. Yapsody lets you post your events for free, that’s another way, you can promote your event online. If you’re like us and love to think differently, you can use our quirky ideas to invite your guests this holiday season. Read our blog on “When is the right time to promote your event”

7. Know your Audience
You’ve spent sleepless nights planning the best Christmas or any other Holiday event night event and organized the best food at the greatest venue for your attendees. But what do your attendees like best? Don’t guess. Instead, find out what your attendees like, their interests and which Christmas theme they’d prefer using our questionnaire and survey feature. Everyone loves a good offer. Plan some crazy offers like the early bird offer or buy get one free and roll them out in advance. This way, you can gauge the response you receive and alter your marketing strategy to sell out your event. When you consider your attendees’ choice while creating the event, you’ll get two things, a happy attendee and a sold-out event.

8. Find the Odd One Out
Remember those puzzles, where you’d squint your eyes, focus and find the odd one out? But with our event ticketing system, you can be stress-free no matter how massive your event is. Be it your local Oktoberfest or a Christmas wine tasting festival, our YapScan app can easily scan and validate the tickets. With our QR code technology, it’s impossible to create duplicate tickets, as each ticket is assigned with a unique code to make the entry and exit a seamless process.

9. Track your Expenses
What happens when you have back to back special occasions in the same month and you can’t celebrate it on one day? It simply means more expenses. Similarly, with the holiday season just around the corner and multiple events scheduled back to back, it can lead you to go overboard on your expenses. Keep a track of how much you spend on each event. You can save a lot when you make use of event ticketing offers. At Yapsody, we are promoting the holiday season well in advance so YOU can leverage these offers and make the best out of them. Check out our offers page to know more about our ongoing offers.
