You could try a Christmas-in-July (or August) event, surely popular with young people. Complete with ornaments, lights, and presents, it’s a surefire fundraising activity to beat the summertime blues. Crank up the air conditioning, blow the cobwebs off your Santa suit and start selling Event Tickets for a summer celebration. It’s a true opportunity to create some real joy, which is the best way to kick off any fundraising activity.

Or, recreate the majesty of the mountains. You can even rent a snow machine and churn out some of the cold, white stuff for a unique summertime event. Let the children make snow angels, snow men, and snowballs, and slide down the snow-covered hills. Sell snow cones or ice lollies and help everyone cool off. It’s a thrilling, chilling way to enjoy the best that winter has to offer at the time of year when a little taste of winter would truly be welcome.

Mountaineering associations pair perfectly with such an event, but, with the addition of a few strings of Prayer Flags, this could be a wonderful fundraiser for Tibet. Some fine chocolate turns it into a tie-in with a planned trip to the Swiss Alps. With the right posters and speakers, you have an attractive educational program on other mountains of the world. Just raise your elevation and you can elevate your Event Ticket sales!

A friend of mine runs a circus troupe, and has had excellent luck offering a free Event Ticket to patrons who bring a certain number of paying guests. Clowns and other performers walk through the town on the day before the show, providing free advertisement for the circus, and offering interested parties a coupon for free admission if they convince 3 friends to attend the evening’s performance. This increases attendance exponentially! Some venues will also offer 2-for-1 deals. If you are having trouble filling seats, this is an excellent way to expand your base and encourage those who otherwise could not afford a ticket to become a fan.

If your event is to be large, or part of a bigger constellation of events, consider some form of corporate sponsorship, in which the purchase of a particular item nets the consumer a free ticket. Again, this helps to generate interest in your show and can be mutually beneficial for you and the company with which you enter into this agreement. Local businesses may be willing to work out such a deal, as it will increase their traffic.

Completely free tickets are ideal for events where there will be vendors, including food and T-shirt sales, along with corporate sponsors. Waive the cost of admission and your guests will have more money to spend on concessions, souvenirs, games, rides, and other features of the event. Or, offer free tickets to a particular group whose attendance would help your organisation: doctors for a health event, for instance. Free tickets for veterans, students, or children can also help.

Selling Event Tickets can be hard work, but giving them away is easy!

• Call a town meeting: Advertise in local media and shops, as well as online forums where your supporters may be waiting. Share your goals, gauge local interest, and recruit volunteers.
• Get feedback: Let your grassroots army offer their input. The most you can depend on others to do the heavy lifting, the more you can accomplish.
• Start planning: Guide your group through the creation of a fundraising event. Find out what type of event would generate the most local interest, helping you sell the greatest number of event tickets. Ask volunteers what they want
• Keep it close to home: Capitalise on the grassroots nature of your movement by employing local venues and vendors. Choose local entertainment, speakers, and catering, and advertise in local media outlets. Let everyone know this is a homegrown event!
• This party doesn’t stop: Once you’ve sold all your event tickets and held a successful fundraiser, keep the movement going. Ask your local supporters to continue offering their fresh and creative ideas, and let them take the lead in organising projects.

You’ll be surprised where you find enthusiastic supporters, bubbling over with new ideas, just waiting for someone to harness the power of their collective desire to help. They’re waiting for you! Now go seek them out and get them organised!

The most important thing you can do is eliminate plastic products. Every year, we produce about 250 billion pounds of plastic pellets, a great deal of which ends up in landfills, or, even worse, floating in a garbage gyre in the ocean, killing fish and birds. The more sophisticated your event, the less likely you are to depend on plastic, but if you do, just swap it out. Real glasses, plates, and cutlery, or least recyclable ones (all these products, even forks and knives, can be made from paper) are you tickets to reducing waste.

Find responsible venues. Reduce your usage of fossil fuels. Some places will advertise as depending upon renewable, sustainable resources like solar power, wind power, hydroelectric power, or even geothermal power. Find ways to cut your energy usage: use fewer lights, or choose LEDs, or even candles (fire code allowing).

Choose foods grown locally: it’s an excellent way to reduce your dependence on fossil fuels. Shipping food about the planet is a huge waste of resources, especially if you’ve a farm down the road a bit.

Remember that buffets increase waste: people are likely to take more than they want. Use servers for portion control. Consider donating leftovers to a local shelter. They’ll thank you for it and may provide free publicity for the event.

Take a careful accounting of your costs. Most promoters find that they can reduce costs and waste at the same time. What do you really need? What can you do without?

Be sure to document your environmental practices. Write about your quest for efficiency on the Internet, where people can find it. You can start attracting a new, environmentally conscious base, increase your ticket sales, and host a spectacular event!

There are those lucky organisations among us with dedicated sales team, active membership rosters, and, in some cases, easily accessible box offices. We may have dedicated volunteer teams, active word-of-mouth campaigns, or popular and navigable websites. Some groups even have extra cash on hand, saved solely for the purpose of publicity campaigns: Posters, Flyers, TV or radio spots, and print advertisements in newspaper or magazine.

The cleverest sales campaigns seem to take on a life of their own: music promotions where Stickers or graffiti-style ads pique the curiosity of those in the know, Internet marketing that goes viral and is passed around the Internet through links and reposts.

In the 21st century, groups seeking to increase their Event Ticket sales ignore virtual marketing at their own peril. It’s the rare event that attracts crowds of younger people without making use of blogs, home pages, social networking, forums, and other online spaces. When you want to sell more Event Tickets, Internet marketing provides you with publicity that costs almost nothing (or, possibly, nothing at all) and can be reproduced and disseminated with the click of a button.

The best part is that, with a properly mounted campaign, your message spreads with no further effort on your part. If it’s smart, compelling, or entertaining, potential customers will pass it on to new potential customers, creating a wonderful chain of publicity for you. So don’t fear the Internet. Put your bravest, most colorful promotions out there and see what transpires.

Your advance publicity materials, including your Event Ticket, are visual cues to your guests. A proper image helps define your group, your mission, and the theme of your gathering both to returning supporters as well as potential new members.

Are your guests interested in design? The environment? Beauty? Appeal to them on the appropriate level by choosing imagery that speaks to their desires. Choose from 100s of Event Ticket templates and find the one that is most likely to capture the imagination of those who are considering attending your event, supporting your efforts, and aligning themselves with your cause.

There exists a wide gulf between a simple printed messages and a brilliant design. Even the most staid academics will appreciate the draw of a stunning calligraphic font on a coloured background. Athletes prefer athletic themes.

Don’t settle for something plain and unremarkable. When you’re hosting an event, you want supporters to remark upon your Event Tickets and other advance print publicity. Consider your audience. Make it special. Make it lovely.

You’ve put quite a great deal of effort into pre-event publicity, have you not? You may have plastered the city centre with Posters and Flyers announcing your big event. You may have spread the message via social networking websites, blogs, and other online forums. Perhaps you’ve gone so far as to construct a viral marketing campaign, letting your message move underground, via the power of public opinion.

But what about your Event Tickets? If you wish to sell many Event Tickets well in advance of your event, consider how effective a beautiful Event Ticket is in terms of advertising without extending your marketing budget. Surely, you could sell a plain, boring ticket, but if you choose instead to print your own full-colour, high-resolution Event Ticket on the Internet, you will be creating 500 or 1000 tiny but effective advertisements, without the hassle of disseminating them.

When your customers buy beautiful Event Tickets for large upcoming events, they are likely to hang them in plain view, on refrigerators, bulletin boards, and other high profile areas in their homes. Friends, family, and service people who walk through their homes will notice these stunning tickets, ask about them, and learn more about your event.

So think carefully when ordering Event Tickets. Wouldn’t you rather choose those tickets that will serve your needs, not only for admission to events, but also for communicating to the world the excitement your next big promotion promises?

Printing your own Invitations injects an air of elegance to your party. Even a small cocktail or dinner party with a dozen guests can benefit. Imagine your friends’ amusement when you mail them a professionally printed invitation to your next Sunday brunch.

Use matching Posters or Flyers to decorate the house for childrens’ parties. If you expect many children, Drink Tickets can help keep the queue orderly for buffet style meals or desserts. Numbered tickets are another way to rein in the chaos. Simply call the numbers before each child steps up to the table. Or, if there are to be games with prizes, you can print those up on small tickets and ask the child to hold on to the ticket until the end of the game or party, at which time it can be traded for the prize. Printed tickets with names and dates also make lovely souvenirs.

Use your imagination and you’ll find dozens of uses for the wonderful Event Ticket!

Your logo–a distinct design that encapsulates both the name and mission of your group–is an instant way to achieve brand recognition. The image should be striking, memorable, and often amusing. Think of it this way: have you ever seen a small child, one who has not yet learned to read, decode the McDonald’s or Coca-Cola logo (and then beg for the product)? While we can’t all hope for this degree of success, we can all develop a logo that is easily recognisable and visually describes something about our mission.

Have you any amateur artists on your staff? People who doodle in the margins of their memos? Perhaps they already have some ideas for you. If not, you may want to hire a professional artist or graphic designer. Prices will vary, but if you haven’t much money, perhaps you can barter goods or services, or else find a young artist just starting out. Perhaps you know an art student, or a colleague’s teenager with a talent for art.

Once you have your logo, you can add it to everything. Fortunately, many Event Kits allow you to upload your logo onto predesigned ticket templates, so you can customise everything associated with your organisation and your event. With proper use, your logo will soon become well-known, perhaps even popular. With the proper logo, you may even develop a side business, selling stickers of your clever logo!

If you have a logo, its easy to print it on your own Event Kits, branding all your events. Everyone will know your group is sponsoring the big event. You’ll look smart, and your print products will shine!
