Organizers always want their events to attract visitors and get bigger and better every year. A mobile app can help! Increasing your guests’ experience will not only improve your rating but also increases your return rate. A knowledgeable guest is likely to experience more and more likely to share the event with their friends and family. Here are some features we can incorporate into your app to increase the event experience.
Google Maps
One of the best features of our events app is the map. Not only can you include a map for your guests, but this Google map can provide exact directions to locations. This can be great for guests traveling to your event, but also for traveling around the event. Using the exact coordinates, we can add them to the map. Guests will find every stage, booth, or food vendor without issues. Not only is this great for guests, but participants will also find this feature helpful. Participants won’t get lost in the crowd over flashier or better-located attractions. All your events will have an equal chance of attracting your guests.
Calendar
If you have performances throughout your event, a calendar is a great feature to organize start times. Your guests will love being able to see all the events they can attend. Additionally, they can add them to their phone’s calendar to get a reminder before the event starts. By allowing guests to see a calendar of events, you can also lower the cost of printing materials. Your app’s calendar can replace a printed schedule that can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
User Submissions
Allow guests to do the photography for you! Event guests love taking pictures while enjoying themselves, so why not let them share those great pictures with everyone through the app? The best part of allowing users to share photos and videos is that it can save you money for photography. Guests will love to be able to see their photos added to a gallery that everyone can see. If you want to include an incentive for guests to share, you can hold a contest, awarding prizes for the best photos.
Live Video and Audio
Additionally, you can play live video and audio through the app. Apps are great for creating a virtual event. Since COVID-19, many events and organizations are adapting to the new and challenging restrictions. The accessibility of the internet and technology allowed them to take their events online! Live video and audio can make your event as engaging and inclusive as in-person.
Extensive Analytics
While this isn’t a feature that guests will have, it will benefit them all the same. During the event and after, we can provide you with detailed analytics of your app. This includes the number of downloads, what your guests viewed the most, and other vital stats to help you improve your event. This information helps improve your event. Even without asking guests for their opinions, we can see clear examples of what the best attractions were.
There aren’t the only features you can use to improve your event. Check out our features page to read more about what you can add to your event app. Or if you are already interested, contact Carlson Technologies Inc to get started!
