BOOMSET + ETOUCHES: CASHLESS PAYMENTS IN THE EVENTS INDUSTRY

Last year is a thing of the past – but you better believe that trends like printable name tags and lead retrieval systems aren’t going away any time soon. Event technology is becoming more advanced and more frequent at events and every day life, especially in 2016.

What’s one of the biggest topics making its way around the world and into your event marketing? Cashless payments; and what the event industry needs to know are its benefits, uses, and why event management teams need to budget it into their events.

Everyone loves stuff…especially if its free!

As an event sponsor, the easiest way to get your branding and logo out there is through event marketing and advertising. Putting your name on the event program and TV screens works, but people come to the event, leave, and forget about that vague company who provided all the coffee at 8:00 am.

What people do remember is the merchandise, the goodies, they received in their gift bags. While most sponsors choose to put in flyers or one pagers, more likely than not, that’s the first thing to get trashed when the attendees go home and fold up the brand new tote they received.

Take this opportunity to get creative and really highlight what your company is all about. Eventprofs are in luck – we’ve already brainstormed some ideas! See our list of 5 cool treats every attendee would want to roll out with below!

FEATURE FRIDAY: EVENT MARKETING FOR HOLIDAY PARTIES? GET INSPIRED!

Beginning the last quarter of 2015 in a new home, Boomset is excited to announce its new headquarters at COWORKRS | FIDI!

Inspired by our new downtown digs, check out what’s featured below for your event marketing, holiday parties, and more.

FEATURE FRIDAY: 2 STRANGE FACTS ABOUT THE GOP DEBATE + AN ISLAND VENUE

Let’s get right to it.

Two things we found interesting about this year’s GOP debates:

1. Reaching out to the different generations as a tactic to woo the crowds. (Knowing generational attributes of attendees is something interesting and informative eventprofs should keep in mind, too.)

2. How such an important event in American history can inspire an interesting (and hysterical) game from Rolling Stone. (You can – and should – see the rules here.)

We don’t want to get into politics, but Boomset wants to be at the campaign after-parties…they don’t call it a Republican/Democratic Party for nothing! Especially when the university tour comes to town, on-site printed name badges or wristbands would be ideal to get everyone into the event fast and ready for the discussions.

After another inspiring week with our eventtech team on-site in NY and at BIzBash’s #ElevateDC, here are a couple of creative extras to optimize your event planning and production.

3 PIECES OF ‘GENERATIONAL DATA’ EVENTPROFS SHOULD KNOW FOR EVENTS

This year has emphasized the importance of engaging at events (with a number of suggestions from this eventtech blog). However, not all attendees are created equal: besides differing tastes, attitudes, and experience attending events, generational differences play a major role in how guests interact with your brand at an event.

The top three contenders at events: Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. Here are 3 pieces of ‘generational’ data eventprofs should know to mind the gap when putting together their next social gathering.

Event professionals have many details to attend to throughout the entire planning process, from the event guest list app to the branded wet nap! When looking for talent to work your events, the same attention to detail must be maintained.

Here are four qualities your event staff should have.

Is the world of name badge printing is something new to you, or are you somewhat familiar with printable name tags? Perhaps you just have general questions or are intrigued to see how it all works.

If you’re looking to really optimize the attendee experience at your events, a printed name badge offers more than just convenience to event professionals, vendors, exhibitors, and attendees. However, there are many factors to consider, especially if you need to collect data through a reliable lead retrieval app.
