We worked with Site Strategics, local search experts who promoted the event socially and on our marketing radio show. Music – A diverse array of music… from Blues to Bluegrass and Folk to Jazz was present. We even ran a high-definition virtual concert in our technology hall from Atmosphere. Event Management – Steve Gerardi is a local event promoter and knew everything that needed planned and executed down to every detail. He was nothing short of amazing throughout the planning and execution of the event. Online Registration – Attendees could pay online and we had a visitor list at the gate, along with an iPad where they could pay by credit card.
Instead of tickets, we distributed color-coded wrist bands where the sponsors, Fax Lists adults, children and bands all had their own color for easy identification. Signage – We needed promotional items, maps, a red carpet backdrop for photos, banners and flyers… and partnered with an incredible company PERQ to get those done. Prizes – PERQ programmed their FATWIN kiosks at the event where every attendee could register and win prizes. This increased foot traffic to our technology hall and our attendees all went home with a prize! Sound – I can’t stress how important the sound was. With the right balance of music and people, everyone was having a blast at the event without it being too loud. People were able to have conversations and still hear the amazing talent playing in the background. The technology hall was down a notch so that sponsors would get more attention.
Pyramid Sound Works led by Mike Ottinger led the sound and it was amazing! T-Shirts – T-Shirt for the festival that sold out (but you can still order them online here until May 10th). Staff had t-shirts with STAFF printed on the back. The Art Press also set up a merchandise table that accepted credit cards and even built the online ordering site so folks could buy a shirt later! Food & Drink – to contrast the amazing German menu, we also enlisted an amazing local New York Pizzeria to park their food truck at the gate to the event. Both venues said they did fantastic sales throughout… and the crowd was hungry! While part of the venue was a bar, we also had the ball room available if folks weren’t comfortable around the drinking. Charging Stations – Everyone has a phone and they all need charged. Thankfully for us, Powerqube delivered a pallet of their amazing smart chargers and everyone was able to take photos and share them throughout the day! Dead batteries mean there’s no sharing!!! Video and Photos – we brought in the best event photographer in the state, Paul D’Andrea.
