Valentine’s Day Is for Lovers

by ticketprinting on February 7, 2011

The most romantic day of the year is fast approaching. Have you completed your Valentine’s Day plans?

For the younger set, a chaperoned dance is just the thing for Valentine’s Day. It provides teens with a place to go and have fun while adults can supervise. Schools, juice bars, and other venues that cater to adolescents can bring in some extra revenue by selling General Admission Tickets to these events. Advance Event Ticket sales provide a good estimate of how many participants to expect, so you know how much food to order.

For teens, you’ll want:

  • A live band or a hot DJ
  • Space for dancing
  • Room to socialize
  • Snacks and beverages
  • Candy
  • Some age-appropriate games
  • A photographer

Consider ideas like a balloon drop, a machine that blows soap bubbles or fog, or (venue permitting) a foam party to create a fun atmospheres.

For adults, the best Valentine’s events tend to be more intimate. Upscale restaurants offering prix fixe menus, romantic music, and candlelight dining do especially well for themselves on February 14. Distributing Event Tickets with reservations can add an air of exclusivity to the evening. Offer champagne, fancy chocolates, strawberries, oysters, and, of course, white linen. A strolling photographer may also delight your clientele, particularly if he brings a romantic backdrop.

In either case, boost attendance with some pretty, Valentine-themed Posters or Flyers. Spreading the word in advance increases sales.

Hang Them High: Posters and Flyers

by ticketprinting on July 3, 2010

Let us speak of event advertising.

Selling Event Tickets in a glutted market may seem discouraging some days, but don’t despair! In economic downturns, most people are looking for affordable entertainments to take their minds off of other problems for a time. You can help them by offering tantalizing glimpses into the magical world offered by your event. No need to force anything. You can simply place Posters and Flyers in places where potential customers can’t help but notice.

Certainly, you can spread your message online, but most of your customers live in the real world, too! Find ways to meet them halfway by providing interesting publicity in venues they are likely to frequent. Try pairing your event advertising with a proper location.

Perhaps you are putting on a gymnasiums. But don’t stop there. Think further: where else will you find your target audience? If you are opening a new nightclub, the owner of a boutique selling club clothes may allow you to hang a Poster in the shop window. Perhaps a paediatrician might allow you to hang a Flyer for a family-friendly event in the office.

Finding the appropriate design can often be a key to advertising success. Does it catch the eye? Does it appeal directly to the group you wish you attract? It may be helpful to find a focus group, some people who are interested in your event and willing to evaluate your advertising with their own eyes. Once you’ve settled on a proper design, it’s easy to print your Posters or Flyers online, and it costs less than you think.

Then, it’s up to you. Get outside and start hanging them up where everyone can see.

Hot off the Presses

by ticketprinting on April 24, 2010

I’m quite enamored of the newest design uploaded at UK Ticket Printing. It speaks to that side of me that adores grandeur and history. It’s this fabulous Castle Event Kit! The image is based on Scotland’s Braemar castle. Red and blue pennants fly over the castle, along with a golden crown. Your text appears on scroll, and beneath that, a pair of claymores cross behind a golden targe. It’s lovely for any event in a castle, or any event that summons up the glory of an old castle.

Like all our Event Kits, it provides you the full range of print materials to give your event that complete, put-together look, including several different types of tickets (Event, Drink, Raffle, VIP), along with advance publicity materials (Invitations, Posters, and Flyers).

As you can see, this Poster, like most publicity posters, allows you to upload a number of thumbnail images. This is useful in publicising groups and individuals participating in your event, such as speakers, musicians, or artists. If your event is sponsored, you may choose to add your sponsors’ logos. It’s a wonderful way to provide extra incentive for other groups to help you out.

We’re expecting plenty of new designs in the near future, so keep checking back!

The Printed Word

by ticketprinting on March 22, 2010

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.

The Intimate Gathering

by ticketprinting on February 5, 2010

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!
