More people than ever are actively concerned with their impact on the environment, and that presents you, the event planner, with a unique opportunity. You can do you part to help the planet and add an extra dimension of appeal to your festival, meeting, party, or event, by creating a green focus. It’s not that hard, and it could help your event ticket sales!
Don’t Buy Garbage!
One of the easiest things anyone can do for the environment, whether they’re planning a 5000 person affair or staying home by themselves, is to reduce or eliminate dependence on disposable plastic items. Every year, about 250 billion pounds of plastic pellets are produced, and every year, we throw a vast amount of that plastic into the trash. Even recycling takes energy, but you can reduce your event’s impact. Instead of small plastic water bottles, consider large vessels. Don’t use disposible plastic utensils, cups, or plates. If you can’t afford the real thing, find alternatives: paper cups and plates instead of Styrofoam, paper cutlery instead of plastic (yes, this exists, and it’s typically stronger than the plastic cutlery).
Printing Friendly Tickets
Consider your printing needs. Many upscale printers do not use recycled paper because it decreases the quality of the product, but you may be able to find a printer that does offer a source of recycled paper. If you can’t find the right printer, perhaps you can choose a lower print quality and print your own event tickets on any paper you choose. Or, see if you can’t find a printer that uses renewable energy sources or other environmentally friendly practices.
The Source of Your Power
The same goes for your venue. Many businesses now proudly announce that they are powered, in part or in total, by alternative and sustainable energy sources: solar, wind, hydroelectric, or geothermal, depending on what part of the country you live in. Ask around! If you find the right venue, one that shares your concern for the environment, let people know.
Do all that you can to green your event and you may sell more tickets to those impressed by your commitment. You can feel good about the steps you’ve taken and you can announce to the world that you, your organization, and your event, are pro planet Earth!
There is truly nothing like a one-of-a-kind musical event. When you’re an event promoter busy with the details of a concert, you know your audience is out there.

All you need to do is find a publicity campaign that shares you event with the world.

Do you remember the Roald Dahl book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? The story of the lucky boy who won a chance at realizing his dreams spawned a sequel and two movie version, one starring Gene Wilder, and the more recent Johnny Depp film. Perhaps you remember the key image involved in his winning moment.
Of course, it was the Golden Ticket.
In the Gene Wilder film, Charlie’s big win results in a big song and dance number, “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” and while your ticket sales may not have bedridden senior citizens whooping it up in front of their astonished families, you can still capture that sense of impending excitement with a proper Event Ticket for your every occasion.
In the book, Willy Wonka makes an announcement regarding something the public wants, in this case, a tour of his factory. The event is presented in such a way that the media is involved and the world goes mad, with everyone desperate to obtain a ticket. Have you tried marketing your event in such a way that everyone wants to be there? Have you sent out press releases or taken out advertisements?
Don’t hold the same boring event! Look to our large online gallery for ticket ideas. Research trends to learn what people want to hear, see, and do at your event. Create something that’s new or hip. Think of a great draw. You may not have a chocolate waterfall, but you can still create a magical evening for your guests.
Make your Event Ticket the hottest ticket in town. Create a lovely Event Ticket using a simple ticket template and write your own Golden Ticket.

How I love a party.
The thrill of anticipation, the dressing up, the moment of wonderment upon arrival. Stepping into a home or other venue decorated for the evening, buzzing with interesting people. Mood lighting! Musical entertainment! Appetizers on silver trays! From the moment the Invitation arrives in the mail, I know I’m in for a special treat.
You can summon that atmosphere of excitement long before your event begins with the proper pre-event publicity. Choosing the proper Invitation is an excellent way to alert your fans beforehand. Make sure the important guests mark their calenders and make their reservations. Just find a design that communicates whatever ideas you want to convey, and send out a stack of advance notices to your mailing list. It’s a wonderful way to start selling Event Tickets.
Posters and Flyers help you reach the audience you never knew about. Do a little sleuthing to determine where your potential guests may lurk, then print yourself a stack of matching publicity Posters and hang them where the crowds are. Again, picking the perfect design lets you speak directly to potential supporters, and big Posters give you the space to say everything you need to say!
While printed materials are important, you can’t forget the virtual channels! Don’t forget to announce your event on your website and your blog. Find out where your base hang out on online and post the announcement on forums and message boards. Use email Invitations and digital calenders to remind everyone to purchase tickets to your event. Get the word out early and reap the rewards in spectacular sales.

You notice the little things.
The thread count of the table linen. The fragrance of fresh flowers. The curl of a ribbon.
If you care about those small differences that add up to huge success, you care about the quality of your printed materials. You know that Event Tickets need not resemble overlooked scraps of paper. In fact, Event Tickets can set the stage for your entire event. Choosing a proper design, one that evokes your event theme and even matches all your publicity material, is one way to make the details work for you.
Choosing a special design can be the first step in creating a special evening. Your bold, beautiful Event Tickets become your emissaries in the world, announcing the excitement of your upcoming event in places that Posters and Flyers can’t go: the private homes of your supporters, where they will sing out to all who pass, announcing the fun to be had. An ordinary Event Ticket catches no one’s eyes, but a beautiful one begs for attention and explanation.
Let that be the first detail. Begin with a beautiful design for General Admission or Reserved Seating. From there, choose matching publicity and related materials: Raffle Tickets, Invitations, and more! Brilliant images start with brilliant choices. Choose a proper design on a proper Event Ticket and start off on the path to perfection.

Take pride in your events.
Whatever the reason, whatever the season, if you’ve gone to the trouble to organise an event, arranged for all the details, and set things in motion, you should be proud! And if you’re proud of your initial steps, why wouldn’t you let that pride shine through in your communication with all your guests?
Your print materials are the front line in sharing information with a crowd.
- Invitations help you get the details to your mailing list and fan base.
- Posters and Flyers let you spread the news to a wider group and create new supporters.
- Event Tickets remind people when and where to attend the big event, even after they’ve made the commitment and purchased their seats.
You’ve got plenty of information to share. Share it beautifully! Whatever you want to say, you’ll look better saying it with full-colour, high-resolution, professional-quality print materials. Printing your own Event Tickets and publicity in the Internet costs less than you think, and your order ships out faster than you can imagine.
When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, it’s that much easier to keep your event running smoothly. Don’t settle for second-best. If you take pride in your work, show it with lovely, affordable, high-quality Event Tickets.
Print to impress!
