Here are 3 ways in which YapScan and YapStats makes your life easier

1. Forget About Long Queues

Using Yapsody is not just about creating, promoting, and selling event tickets. You get an end-to-end ticketing solution through YapScan that automatically syncs between your mobile devices and our servers to ensure that every team member’s mobile device is updated in real-time.

You can also assign separate permissions to your on-ground staff for specific events. For example, you can give scanning permission to all your team members but can elect to reserve the “unscanning” function for specific members only. Meanwhile, you can chill at the bar with a Long Island watching your event unfurl in all its glory. 

2. Focus On The Money

Unless you want to sit down and count all your notes after a successful event night. Our YapStats app turns your iPad and iPhone into an event stats tracker with a single-point view to track your total ticket sales, daily sales report, the revenue you earned, and many more. Event ticketing revenue is a definitive factor for measuring event success and this tool does exactly that through a graphical analysis for easy understanding. 

With YapStats you can access:

• Daily ticket sales
• Total number of tickets sold
• Total number of complimentary tickets offered
• Total event capacity
• Comparison between the total revenue you earned and the total revenue you can earn

3. Plan Better For The Future 

Automating your ticket validation and report generation process is rewarding. As an event manager, you can sit back and observe how your event unfolds. With YapScan, you’re not wasting minutes fiddling with tickets and checklists. This increases your brand credibility as someone who puts their guests first. And with YapScan, you’re getting detailed reports of your event. With data available at your fingertips, you can study your audience better to create an even better experience in your upcoming events.

If you’re looking for an end-to-end event ticketing system to boost your ticket sales, sign up here and get handsy with our apps, YapStats and YapScan.

PERSONALIZED DIGITAL MARKETING

After you’ve spent the past few hours browsing evening gowns on online stores, all websites you visit next will have advertisements showcasing discounts on evening gowns at various websites. Co-incidence? Nah! Personalized digital marketing.

As an event presenter, you could also segment your customers based on their past experiences with you or their preferences. Simple things like including their names in the subject lines of email newsletters, or greeting them with a “Welcome Back!” if they’re visiting your page for the second time, these things create a lasting impression and you’re bound to get higher conversion rates.

SIMPLIFIED METRICS

Event presenters practically breathe data and analytics to measure their progress, and to ensure their ways are working. The budget, revenue generated from selling event ticket, attendee reports, and engagement analytics are some of the many figures that are always buzzing at the back of your head. Data collection is not a big task, analyzing and utilizing it is. If you have an event at Yapsody, you can use YapStats to get all the numbers related to your event integrated into a single app, so that analyzing it in a single glance doesn’t sound like an overstatement.

SEEING BEYOND “ASL”

Ever logged on to a stranger chatting website and talked to someone? There are very few people who’d actually be interested in your name or your hobbies, or even greeting you for that matter. The first question they ask you would be – ASL? (short for age, sex, location). It is obviously very cold and unwelcoming, and makes you want to disconnect the very next moment.

This is a common mistake that event organizers need to accept and move on from. Grouping customers based on demographics is NOT in trend now. Every attendee wants to be acknowledged by his identity, his personal interests and goals, and not just a number. Add some personal touch to the way you invite your potential attendees, the way you communicate with them and consider their ideals. This will add definite value to your event as well as your organization.

BEING ‘RESPONSIVE’

While it definitely implies responding to your attendees in as little time as possible, the tech-savvy generation is familiar with the pun attached to the term. Your online content is supposed to be responsive, i.e. it should look good on any device that your attendees may use. Event websites, emails, networking platform, speaker profiles – all should be optimized for viewing on the big as well as small screens. Because the world today is way smarter, ensure that online content pertaining to your event is optimized for smartphones and tabs of all kinds.

USING WORD-OF-MOUTH SERIOUSLY

“But… I’ve always been serious about that!”

Of course, you have. But, there’s always scope for betterment, isn’t it?

Word-of-mouth is the BEST (no amount of bolding, italicizing, or underlining could stress on just how important it is) marketing tool. It is organic, and cannot be faked, but you have to roll out referral programs to actually get it going. When attendees are given the opportunity to earn rewards for simply referring the event to their friends or colleagues, you’re turning them into brand ambassadors. The more brand ambassadors you successfully enable, the more you’re going to be promoted.

DEVOUR TECHNOLOGY

Yes, eat it up till you’re satiated! Almost every task can be automated to save time and increase efficiency. Event managers who are too far ahead in the technical marathon even use drones to capture images that professional photographers are unable to. Further, there are innumerable apps that do most of the updating and calculating business for you without you putting in anything except your login details. Find out technological developments in the event industry and make complete use of them.

SKIP THE SPREADSHEETS

Spreadsheets are huge necessities, and give just as huge headaches when they are color-coded, complex, and multi-tabbed. Maybe you can never entirely get rid of them, but you can definitely skip the part where you have to manually edit them. There are apps that automatically update your list of registrations and separate out attendees based on whether they’ve paid or no, or are returning customers, and many other filters.

OUTSOURCING

Now that we’re talking about getting everything done ‘automatically’, let’s talk about the humans who fill in for these robots that you fancy – freelancers. Often, deadlines aren’t met because a few things were left hanging and weren’t achieved on time, be it a promotional video, or a logo for the event, or a simple blog post. With websites like Fiverr and Taskrabbit, you can get a list of people who’d do these little jobs for you for as less as $5, hence relieving you of the stress that these little pesky pests bring with them.

In conclusion, all the above points focus on one primary thing – personalization. The event organizers who look into the depths of the needs and requirements of their target audience, and try to relate with them on a personal level often find the best solutions and strategies to make things work in their favor. Your ultimate goal should be to create an unforgettable experience that touches the lives of your attendees. Anything that distracts you from this goal can be outsourced.

YapStats – What it does and What it doesn’t

Basically, YapStats will figure out all the graphs, charts and numbers for you and all you have to do is create and host an event using Yapsody and download the Yapsody YapStats App. It is a fully functional event stats tracker that gives you your Daily Sales Report, Total Ticket Sales Report, Potential Revenue, Revenue Generated and a lot more right at your fingertips.

What it doesn’t, well, it can’t make a woman happy. Come to think of it, who can, anyway?!

Why do you need it?

As an event presenter, you might have come to terms with the fact that there isn’t a set of particular instructions that, when followed, lead to a successful event. There’s always scope for something new, while sometimes even the oldest tricks fail. But, if you have a tool that analyses your success rate and gives you actual figures, what could be cooler? (Note: It’s a rhetorical question, but the answer is liquid nitrogen. #funfact)

Here’s everything that YapStats can track for you:

• Daily Ticket Sales
• Total Ticket Sales
• Total Number of Complimentary Tickets offered
• Capacity of the Event
• Comparison between Total Revenue earned and Potential Revenue that could’ve been a target

How do you get this cool stuff?

This one’s the simplest – just follow this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yapsody.yapstats and download Yapsody YapStats on your Android device for FREE.

Next, login using your Yapsody credentials and from the list of your events displayed, click on the one whose reports you wish to view. Easy-peasy!

And another #funfact is that it is absolutely FREE (just like our General Admission Event).

Okay, the last #funfact (and I promise you this is REALLY fun) – Reserved Seating Events now come with a 50% Rebate till 30 June 2016. Create one now and enjoy the best of Yapsody!
