To Brand or Not to Brand

by ticketprinting on January 22, 2010

Has your organisation acquired its own logo?

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!

It’s Never Too Early

by ticketprinting on January 5, 2010

Happy New Year!

Here’s a wish that 2010 is the year your organisation meets all its goals, with pizazz and ease. It’s never too soon to start planning the year’s events, even if you have only the slightest idea of what you hope to achieve. Whatever your event, whatever your organisation, there is an Event Ticket just for you. In fact, there is an Event Kit with all the print material you’ll need to publicise, sell, and bring off your event with style.

Have you regular, annual events? Perhaps the date, time, and location have already been decided upon and booked. In that case, you can begin to search for the perfect design. Hoping this year’s turnout will be quite tremendous? Why not create your own save-the-date cards? If you’ve already decided upon an image, you can choose a small, stubless Event Ticket or an Invitation template. Even a Drink Ticket may suffice.

Let the ticket template be a tool that helps you create whatever you need. If you want to remind your supporters to mark their calenders well in advance, then say so! Just print it up and send it out to your mailing list. Your group will appreciate the reminder and you’ll start selling more tickets, earlier in the season.

You’ve an entire year to plan. Get started now and you’ll find more time to relax later!

Merry Christmas!

by ticketprinting on December 25, 2009

On the day of family, friends, and fun, we need not pause to consider the print products that drive our celebrations and gathering. There are loved ones to embrace, carols to be sung, and delicate, fanciful wrapping paper to be torn from enigmatic boxes. Cookies to eat! Ham to carve! Worship services to be attended!

On this day, we live with peace and joy in our hearts and on our lips. We may consult the directions printed on an Invitation as we drive to a large party, or check the time of an Event Ticket as we rush to attend a matinee performance of The Nutcracker Suite, but we realize that these are only tools that help us keep our celebration on track and and our minds at ease.

All too soon this perfect day ends. Children, worn out from a day of toys and surprises, drift to bed without complaint, while adults enjoy one last egg nog and savor the Christmas peace. With less than a week, we will tidy our affairs and wrap a bow around 2009. The New Year will be here soon, and with it, more parties, celebrations, friends, family, and fun.

There will be time enough for planning new gatherings, printing new Event Kits, and creating new memories. Today is Christmas.

Planning a seasonal celebration? Now’s the time time to start printing your Event Tickets and related publicity materials. If Santa Clause is coming to town, make sure he gets word of your big gathering. The old fellow’s busy making a list and checking it twice. The least you can do is help him out with a clearly-worded invitation and other print materials to help everyone find their way to your door.

Christmas-Angel-Poster-001

With lovely designs for every type of gathering, choosing proper Posters is so simple. Is your occasion to be a solemn affair? Sacred and spiritual? Do you favour festive celebrations, or need to please young people? If you want it, you can have it.

Santa-Clause-Invitation-001

Christmas-Scene-Invitation-001

Print your own Christmas Event Tickets, Posters, and Invitations in advance. If you are selling Event Tickets, sell more by employing the power of fine design. If you are inviting guests, make sure they mark their calendar and look forward to your party with delightful images worthy to be used as seasonal decorations.

Make this Christmas one to remember. Make it sophisticated and chic, or homey and old-fashioned. Celebrate your way. Print the Event Kits that work for you!

Penny for the Guy?

by ticketprinting on October 10, 2009

Bonfire Night is almost upon us! Toffee apples and jacket potatoes, bonfires and fireworks! Make your Guy Fawkes Night an unforgettable one and forgo the door-to-door begging. If you need to raise funds, take the modern route: print brilliant full-color Event Tickets and publicity on-line.

Pre-event publicity encompasses three tiers. For tightly-focused marketing to an existing mailing list, you can print Guy Fawkes Invitations, just the thing for drawing a proper crowd. Posters and Fliers allow you to advertise to a wider audience, reaching supporters you never knew about. Hang them in shop windows with the owner’s permission, and cover the city centre with your big announcement.

General Admission Tickets and VIP Passes allow you to control the crowd, and Drink Tickets are an ideal way to earn a little more money for your organisation. You can sell them in advance or at the event. They keep your queues short and orderly and your vendors at ease. Selling more than drinks? Customise your Event Kit by printing multiple tickets for several sale items!

When the weather gets cold, manufacture your own heat. Just start gathering wood and printing Event Tickets. Let your Guy Fawkes bonfire light up the night with traditional treats and festivities, and let your Event Kit design speak for itself.

In advance

by ticketprinting on September 24, 2009

Yes, this is the Event Ticket Blog, but what about those moments leading up to your event. Even before you begin selling Event Tickets, you must consider the factors that will encourage your guests to attend. How will you inform others of the gathering? How can you frame the event in such terms that it appears exciting and desirable to attend? Poster and Flyers are a good way to blanket an area with publicity, but suppose you want a more tightly focused campaign. You need to target individuals. You need to speak directly to your strongest boosters, those most likely to attend.

In small and close-knit organisations, word-of-mouth can take you quite far. Perhaps everyone already knows that your gala will be the event of the year. Still, a little reminder can’t hurt! You may already be reaching your supporters through a weekly or monthly newsletter, sent by post or over email. Perhaps you have an active website where members of your group can regularly look for relevant news.

These methods still do not target individuals. Important guests may not realize that they are expected to attend, or may not read every word of your website or newsletter. If you really want to reach everyone, you need to reach out to everyone. If you are not making use of your mailing list, you’re missing a golden opportunity to draw supporters to you. That’s where individual Invitations come in.

When you need to sell Event Tickets, you need to tap those who are most likely to buy. You need to tap them directly on the shoulder, and you can do that remotely when you print Invitations that match your General Admission Tickets and other publicity materials. Sending these focused Invitations out to your group makes it more likely that your supporters will buy tickets to your event. You already have their names and addresses. Sending an Invitation to their door makes a more personal plea, one that is hard to ignore. An Invitation that arrives in the mail suggests a sense of inclusion and helps your members feel closer to and wanted by the organisation.

Invitations also help your guests remember to RSVP or buy tickets, mark their calenders, tell their friends, and develop a sense of excitement regarding the upcoming event. You can provide all the details in one place and limit confusion.

Invitations! When you want to bring people together, it’s the way to go!

Got problems?

by ticketprinting on September 18, 2009

Let’s face it: things can get a little dodgy in your office. Projects become overwhelming, or fall through the cracks. Everyone’s carrying a heavy work load, or else trying to steal someone else’s assignments. Event planning isn’t quite the walk through the park you’d expected. Have no fear! Just avoid the following foul-ups and it’s smooth sailing for your event!

Top Ten Mistakes in Event Ticket Printing

  • 10: Loved your publicity Posters so much you hung them around the office instead of the City Centre
  • 9: All Invitations were accidentally addressed “Dear Dr. Moneybags”
  • 8: Not a lot of interest in your Dumpster Diving with the Stars Dinner Dance
  • 7: Lost your speakers’ head shots; uploaded images of LOLcats to all your Flyers instead
  • 6: Camouflage themed Event Kit a poor choice for Vegans against War Rally
  • 5: Issued VIP Passes to random homeless people just to make sure the event was well-attended
  • 4: Dates printed on your General Admission Tickets were accidentally calculated with a Julian Calendar
  • 3: To save money, you decided to re-use the extra Event Tickets from last year, confusion ensues
  • 2: Set your spell-checker to German while filling out the ticket template
  • 1: Forgot to get the best quality and value for your money at UKTicketPrinting.co.uk!

Now that we’ve cleared up that muddle, you can get on with your business. Plan the best event your group has ever seen, and we’ll print the best Event Kits money can buy!

Back to School

by ticketprinting on August 28, 2009

It is that time again, that very special time of year when summer holidays come to a close, children return to the schoolyard, and adults breathe a collective sigh of relief. Unless, of course, the adults are school administrators, in which case, they’re only just begun!

If your job requires you to plan events for children and young people in conjunction with an educational institution, you may want to peruse the database at UK Ticket Printing for ideas and to find Event Tickets and matching publicity materials, including Posters, Fliers, and Invitations!

School dances and theatrical events can really benefit from the right Event Kit. Advertising these events well in advance helps generate excitement and stimulates ticket sales. Important matches between athletic clubs are another brilliant opportunity for your school. You can earn more money for your budget while providing your students with healthy, appropriate, and exciting entertainment amongst their peers.

Commencement ceremonies are another excellent opportunity for choosing Event Tickets, and there are many graduation Event Tickets from which to choose. You may decide on full-colour printing, or black and white designs. Most likely, you will want matching Invitations. Students can order them and send them by post to friends and family, or hand-deliver them to share their good news.

For every age group, for every event, a proper Event Ticket is just waiting for you!
