How to Increase Attendance at Holiday Parties With Maximum Conversions?


Every event planner wants his/her holiday parties to run a fully packed house and be the talk of the town. However, only a few planners see their dreams come true. It is not that they haven't worked hard to plan and setup the party or didn't send invitations to guests in time. The reason behind a poor turnout can be because of an outdated registration process, late delivery of invitation cards, and poor marketing strategies. Let's discuss the following points in detail.

Outdated Registration Process

As a holiday party organizer, you need to be really careful when choosing a registration process for your upcoming event. You can't carry on with the same old procedure of manually distributing and compiling forms and from the registrants when the local event organizers have already updated their event registration processes. Nowadays, people really don't prefer wasting their time in traveling and bearing additional expenses for such cases. An online event registration solution is the in-thing today. It lets people from any part of the world easily access your holiday party registration form, 24 hours. Thus, it saves the registrant's traveling costs and their time and in a way increases your event attendance and ROI.

Cloud-based event registration application lets you create multiple holiday party registration forms in the shortest possible time span. There is no question of sending the forms to be printed since you can easily publish a customized registration form with just a few clicks of your computer mouse.

Another advantage of using an online holiday party registration system is that it allows an individual complete registering and paying on behalf of his friends or business colleagues using the bulk registration facilities. It thus automatically guarantees maximum a boost in registration numbers for any particular day.

Late Delivery of Invitation Cards

In spite of sending out invitations to all the intended guests, you find most of them absent from the party scene. You wonder what could be the reason. Well, an obvious explanation for their non-appearance may be the late delivery of your hard-copy invitation letter or card sent via post. To avoid making such a mistake this holiday season, start using an emailing service that lets you send out multiple soft-copy invitations, notifications, and reminders quickly. You can instantly inform your past and current attendees about the schedule of all your forthcoming holiday parties; adding the online registration link in the email will let people complete the registration process immediately. Automatic notifications will reach you after every successful registration is processed.

Poor Marketing Strategies

Inadequate marketing strategies can lead to fewer turnouts at an event or party. You need to explore online social media platforms other than traditional advertising channels to inform the maximum number of people about your upcoming programs. Try posting all event related news on your event website, company site, and on your blog to attract more eye balls and maximize registrations and conversions.
