Although I work on the Internet, I live in the real world. Although most of the words I write appear as pixels on a video monitor, my favorite words are printed in ink on processed wood pulp. Indeed, I love books, and as such, I can’t help loving a book festival!

What a lovely warm-weather event! Any size town can easily host it. First, consider the purveyors of the printed word in your area: newspapers, magazine, book shops, and publishers. Most of these groups will be pleased to participate and even to sponsor the event, as it provides them extra exposure and a simple way to connect with customers. Schools and universities will likely want to get in on the fun, particularly if they have strong writing programs.

Next, you will want to contact any local authors, any authors with ties to your town, and finally, any authors willing to make the journey to your festival. Once you have firm commitments from everyone in the writing industry, you can add all the food vendors and musicians you like! Schedule book signings, public readings, and perhaps a writing contest in advance. If you plan to charge for attendance, start selling Event Tickets in advance. Or, pass them out for free, and get plenty of publicity!

Send Invitations and hang Posters and Fliers about town. Contact all the local media outlets with press releases and, if you can afford it, take out some advertisements as well. Drink Tickets, such as the one reproduces above, are wonderful incentives to encourage festival-goers to attend.

On the day of your book festival, hope for clear skies and pat yourself on the back. You’ve helped save humanity from ignorance and illiteracy, and you’ve provided a wonderful and intelligent day for book lovers everywhere.

One of the nicest sorts of parties one can throw is a celebration in thanks or appreciation of an individual or group of people. Of course, we have all attended office parties when a co-worker leaves or retires, and these tend to be mirthful experiences, but for whom else can we express our appreciation through cake and ice cream?

How about:

• Educators
• Church volunteers
• Administrative assistants
• Helpful children
• Kindly neighbors

For any good deed, a celebration is in order!

If the object of your gratitude has helped a good many people, you may find that it’s possible to cover the cost of the celebration by selling tickets to the event. Use social networking or word-of-mouth to determine whether there is interest in a group recognition of your guest of honor. If so, print some Event Ticket and start selling! Determine how much your guests are willing to spend per ticket to determine your budget (or your own contribution).

Then, plan a party to say thank you! Be certain to order the cake, with an appropriate message, in advance. Ask close friends of the celebrant to prepare speeches. Obtain some photographs (choosing a selection from throughout the guest’s life can be fun) and have them blown up into Posters, or turned into a slide show or Power Point Presentation. Make sure everyone knows about your honoree’s contribution, and why they deserve this celebration.

Finally, decorate the venue, lay out the food and drinks, and toast (or roast!) the guest of honor in high style.

Promoters, have you fully leveraged the power of the well-designed Event Ticket?

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?

Add a little extra spice to intimate gatherings with professional print products! Beautiful, high-resolution Event Kits are not simply for massive galas and celebrations. Fast, inexpensive, and easy to customise, they are the perfect solution for your own parties.

• Birthdays
• Anniversaries
• Family Reunions
• Seasonal Celebrations
• Barbecues
• Any time you want to gather your friends!

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!

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!

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.
