Here are 9 ways of impressing attendees with your event pages. 

1. Consider the Event Type 

Before creating any random event description on your page, consider the type of event you’re hosting. If it’s a theater event, your descriptions and copy need to tease them the right way and hook them into heading into the checkout page.

Musical night followed by dinner? Add music videos of artists that’ll be performing at your venue and high-quality images of the food that they can expect. Planning a pub crawl? Don’t miss out on all the juicy details as organized drinking should be taken seriously, right?

2. Choose Visuals Over Words 

Visuals and minimal storytelling are your best friends. We’ve noticed event presenters not having to write lengthy event descriptions as their pictures spoke a 1000 words. With our Online Ticket Store, you can achieve this by creating a combination of strong or subtle color palettes mixed with your branding. Maybe you’re the popular one in the event industry and all they need to see is your brand logo to hit the BUY ticket button.  

3. Don’t Overwhelm Them

Don’t use jargons and heavy terms that require them to pull up Google search. Translate your event details effectively in a minimalistic manner so that they don’t stray away from your page. Sometimes, less is more so don’t start penning an essay on your event pages.

4. Use the Power Of Video

In the generation of 4k ultra HD videos, a well-shot teaser can do wonders in communicating what words cannot. You might have to write a script for it, but the payoff is huge. You can not only add your videos on our Online Ticket Store but also use the same video on multiple social media channels. Videos add a great impression for events pages with live music concerts, theaters, and stand-up gigs. Learn more on How to Promote Your Event Using Video. 

5. SEO Optimize Your Event Page 

Before going live with your event page, it’s absolutely crucial to SEO optimize it that will make it reach the appropriate audiences. Optimizing your event page with our SEO optimization feature will make your event page appear organically on top of search results, making it easier for new attendees to find your events. 

6. Dig Deeper Into Attendee Data 

Ask your attendees all the right questions, so you can create the ideal attendee experience. Maybe your first-ever event didn’t go as expected but that’s how the event industry works. By understanding your event attendee, you can craft better descriptions for your event page and attract more ticket buyers. Use our Questionnaires & Surveys feature to dig deeper into attendee data. 

7. Provide Social Proof

No one wants to pay money for an event only to witness the event go bust at the last minute. Social media profiles for brands are official proof of legitimate existence. Create another layer of trust in your event attendees by adding your social media icons on your Online Ticket Store. We’ve always witnessed a quick checkout for those event pages with social media icons on them.

8. Attendees Love Discounts

Now, if you’ve done everything right to hook them till the end of your event page, it’s time to create a sense of urgency by giving them a discount. An event marketing tactic that never fails the test of time. Use our event ticketing platform to assign different types of discounts through multiple ticket types.

9. Add Custom FAQs  

Don’t leave out anything to their imagination. If event attendees are having doubts or second thoughts about attending your event you’re losing out on ticketing revenue that could’ve been avoided otherwise. Clear the confusion you think they might have by adding custom FAQs on your Online Ticket Store. The only thing they should be imagining is how amazing your event is going to be.

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.
