Event Marketing

Event Marketing Definition "Whereas marketing outside the voluntary sector generally involves clarifying customer needs and then satisfying them with appropriate products or services, arts marketing more usually involves finding the right audience for the product and bringing audience and product together.

Event Logistics

 Event Logistics Most logistics theories concern the supply of products to customers. In the events industry, logistics include the efficient supply of customers to the festival product, and the supply of facilities and products to and from the event site. "In this sense, it has more in common with military logistics than modern business logistics". (McDonnell, I. et al.

Customer Care

What are they hearing? What are they reading and, perhaps, most importantly, what are they feeling?

Brand equity

Brand equity can be defined in many different ways. I have developed a simple, yet powerful, definition of brand equity. For a brand to be strong it must accomplish two things over time: retain current customers and attract new ones. To the extent a brand does these things well, it grows stronger versus competition, and delivers more profits to its owners. Breaking down the definition of "brand equity" into its two components, we can more easily determine a reliable way to measure brand equity, and to track changes in brand equity over time. The components of brand equity, retention and attraction of customers, stem from people's experiences with and perceptions of a brand. if you like my post then pls click on advertisment and add as you in my follower list .
