It tells us what we're doing right - and wrong. It tells us how to improve. It also gives us an opportunity to expand our volunteer pool. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;">So, how do you get feedback at a festival? Don't wait for the newspaper. Set up a WiFi area with some laptops so bloggers may post their comments and photos right away.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;">Two things happen: 1) You create buy in by allowing festival goers a chance to share their opinion and 2) You build an on-line community of event enthusiasts who can be solicited for volunteer work the following year.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;">By offering them a platform, you're extending a hand to anyone with an opinion. As soon as the writer posts the entry, they have an immediate connection to the festival. The person will want to know what others say - and will talk up your festival blog. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;">Yes, this if FREE publicity that will take you into your next event. And, it gives you an avenue to contact potential volunteers.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;"></span></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;">July Tip - Get your festival and event attendees involved in the event. Later on, convert their on-line interest into real action!</span></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7937202974935383432-5419475984626251423?l=grehttastips.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>About Gretahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165608529160010120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937202974935383432.post-54395156478656334342007-07-02T08:52:00.000-07:002007-07-02T08:53:11.758-07:00Please go to the correct site - <a href="http://gretastips.blogspot.com/">http://gretastips.blogspot.com</a><br /><br />Thank you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7937202974935383432-5439515647865633434?l=grehttastips.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>About Gretahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165608529160010120noreply@blogger.com0
