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.

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.

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.

FROM STALLS TO SERVERS

Gone are the days of setting up stalls and booking windows to sell your event tickets. Now, all you need is a computer and a working internet connection to get all your event ticketing done right at your fingertips. Plus, you won’t have to deal with angry customers as you put up a “Sorry, We Are Closed” sign. As long as you (and also your wife) are okay with it, you can keep up with the managing of your online ticket sales even at 3 AM. All the hassle of driving around town to distribute tickets to vendors and later returning to collect the unsold ones is saved. Also, you can cover a larger audience without even having to shift in your own chair. Anyone sitting in any corner of the world can buy event tickets without having to physically come down to any office or vendor. And for the cherry on top, online information and interaction are speedier, cheaper and more convenient as compared to offline. You can provide your customers with a truckload of information online and it won’t even take them hours of waiting in long queues to give their feedbacks.

RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THEN

Yapsody allows you to manage all sorts of dealings regarding your online ticket sales under a single roof. With the kind of extensive and easy-to-use features that we offer you, you can track sales, deal with cancellations, interact with your customers, provide services to your sponsors, and do everything else that an event covers (and sometimes, even more) in one place. You can add discounts, surcharges, and taxes to your events, sitting right there with a coffee mug staring at your laptop skin – not to mention, collecting the ticket sales in your local currency while dealing in your local language too!

DO YOUR PART TO SAVE THE EARTH

Now, this might look like a cheesy school essay, but we can’t ignore the amount of havoc we’re causing in nature. Online ticketing is a much greener way to sell tickets, as you’ll be cutting down on the unnecessary wastage of paper by allowing your customers to store tickets on their mobile devices. And I don’t see any harm in choosing it as an alternative when you’re getting all the advantages of using the internet for event ticketing and also doing your little part in making this world a better place to live in.

We asked few questions about how they feel about the event organizer’s online event ticketing system and the overall process while buying and receiving their tickets.

After analyzing the survey stats, the first thing we should say is that there is not just one single feature that dominates all others. However, convenience, low ticketing fees, and ability to book multiple events’ tickets continuously through shopping cart were by far the top three features preferred by fans and collectively make up roughly 77% of responses.  The remaining 23% selected the ability to conduct secure transactions or speed of completing a transaction as their number one criterion.

If your current ticketing provider does not excel in these areas relative to its competitors, you are likely missing out on opportunities to give your fans what they really want.  So if you are looking for a new online ticketing system for events, we strong advise on doing the necessary research – or you can simply choose Yapsody !

Yapsody:
When you talk about online ticketing, ticketing fees are rarely left out of the conversation. Before Yapsody, most anyone purchasing tickets for a concert, a trade show or any other event from the Internet had to pay some ticketing fees. We at Yapsody are totally against the concept of charging “FEES” to event goers simply for providing access to a ticketing platform. On Yapsody, event presenters can create an account in 10 seconds, create an event in as little as 2 minutes, and sell out an event without anyone paying a ticketing fee.

MailChimp:
MailChimp makes it easy for anybody to design eye-catching HTML email campaigns, automatically manage subscriber lists, and track results. Just point, click, and send. No coding or programming required. With Yapsody’s MailChimp feature, we make it easy to automatically export your customer lists to your Mailchimp account.

Evernote:
Evernote transforms the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad into a canvas for your mind, helping you to document and recollect everything that happens in your Event. From notes to ideas to snapshots to recordings, put it all into Evernote and instantly synchronize between your mobile and desktop devices.

SlideShare:
If your event utilizes presentations and speakers, then SlideShare is a tool that allows you to gather all these presentations in one place and invite attendees to view them following the event. This is a great way to cement the knowledge sharing between presenters and attendees that took place during your event and extend the attendee experience beyond the event.

As you can see, Yapsody and other above tools are extremely powerful, easy-to-use and very effective for your event, so go ahead and run your event smoothly.

While creating your event and performance you can easily segregate your ticket categories by adding multiple ticket type such as “Student”, “Adult”,” VIP” etc. and apply separate pricing for each ticket. However, where we excel relative to other “do-it-yourself ticketing system is in two areas:

• Yapsody provides the flexibility to apply different pricing and discount schemes to different performances (or “recurring events”) rather than the one-size-fits all approach that many other ticketing systems take.
• Like other ticketing systems, Yapsody allows you to limit quantity by ticket type.  However, unlike many other online ticketing systems, Yapsody allows for multiple ticket types to be pulled from the same ticket pool.  So for example, rather than allocate a fixed pool of tickets for Adult ticket types and a completely separate pool of tickets for Child ticket types, you have the ability to create a single pool from which both ticket types will be drawn.

Yapsody provides a wide selection of discount types.  There are 5 types of discounts that you can apply to your events:

• Early Purchase Discount –Encourage early ticket sales by rewarding people who purchase before a certain date.

• Group Discount – Encourage people to purchase more tickets by rewarding them with a group discount.  In fact, you can have multiple tiers of group discounts.  For example, you can set the discounts so that people who purchase 10 ticket get 10% off and people who purchase 20 ticket gets 20% off.

• General Promo Codes – Encourage sales by giving a discount to people who enter an advertised promo code.  You can apply validity dates and limit redemption by performance and ticket type.

• Single Use Promo Codes – Encourage sales by giving unique promo codes to individually targeted people.  These codes can only be used once.  You can apply validity dates and limit redemption by ticket type.

• Miscellaneous discount – Create your own custom discount without using one of the above preset frameworks.

Bottom line… If you are looking for flexibility, then Yapsody is definitely the ticketing system for you!
