How To Choose The Right Material For Your Conference Badge

Posted on by veratanevnk

Sometimes, it’s the nitty-gritty details that people pay the most attention to. Your guests probably care about the quality of their name badges more than you think, therefore, it is about time to seriously think about what kind of material you would use for your conference name badge. In this post, we will put 4 types of materials to the test:

  1. Art Card
  2. Art Card + Lamination
  3. PP Synthetic
  4. PP Synthetic + Lamination

We will grade them based on material strength, water-resistance, rigidity and price. We will then provide an overall ranking for the four types based on the above factors.

Art card

Strength: ⭐ ⭐

The regular art card is strong enough when worn around the neck untouched, but is not able to withstand tugging or pulling. It tends to tear easily if your guests pull on their name badges.

Water Resistance: ⭐ ⭐

The material is only very slightly water resistant. In most cases, it absorbs liquid and may cause the printing to smudge.

Rigidity: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Feels tough and stiff but the sides crease easily. At the end of the event, the badges may look slightly deformed.

Price: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

art card + lamination

Strength: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

The extra layer of lamination significantly increases the strength of the material. We put the badge to the test and it was tear-resistant! It can withstand tugging and pulling, however, using a large amount of strength may still cause it to tear. But who would do such a horrible thing to their own name badge, right?

Water Resistance: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Any liquid spillage would just roll off the surface because of the double-sided lamination. You won’t have to worry about clumsy guests anymore!

Rigidity: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

This one feels the most firm and rigid. Most of our customers prefer this badge for their professional events as it does not bend or fold easily.

Price: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

pp synthetic

Strength: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Looks like paper, strong like plastic. PP synthetic material is able to withstand forceful pulls and is definitely stronger than it looks.

Water Resistance: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Like the laminated art card, this material is also highly water-resistant.

Rigidity: ⭐

Unfortunately, although this material is tear-resistant, it is also quite soft and flimsy like paper. Although it does not crease easily, it feels like it would.

Price: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

pp synthetic + lamination

Strength: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Before we even got a chance to use our full force, the lanyard fell apart before the laminated PP synthetic badge did. Yes, that is how hard it is to tear this one!

Water Resistance: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Rigidity: ⭐

This is extremely flexible and bendy. It also curves backwards slightly as the lamination is only on the front side.

Price: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

StrengthWater ResistanceRigidityPriceOverall Score
Art Card223512
Art Card + Lamination355316
PP Synthetic451414
PP Synthetic + Lamination551314

All these materials are suitable for the Onsite Badge Printing service at your event, where you can print your delegates’ details in just under 2 seconds. Still can’t decide on a material? Sign up for EventNook’s free consultation and demo here.

How To Legally Use Free Images From The Internet

Posted on by veratanevnk

You will come across many situations when you will need a beautiful and relevant picture but cannot find one. These are just a few of the many situations:

  • Marketing- When you are promoting a product, service or event
  • Design- Websites and apps
  • Social Media Sharing- When you just want your posts to look nice for your followers

Myth: If it’s on online, it’s free.

DEBUNKED! Many people think that anything that can be found on online is free for use. There are so many images available from a simple search on Google, however, many of them are actually protected by copyright. Infringement of copyright can have both civil or criminal penalties, therefore, it is important to know how to filter the images and look for images that are free to use commercially or non-commercially, so you do not face the risk of copyright infringement.

There are 2 main channels you can use to source for your images, legally:

  1. Google Advanced Search
  2. Licensed websites

google advanced search

Yes, this is the same old Google we all know. However, many do not know Google actually has a way to filter images by usage rights.

Now that you know Google has this function and how to filter your results, make sure you adjust the filter every time you search for an image!

licensed websites

For event planners and marketers, if you have an event and you do not have aesthetically appealing photos to promote your event, you may use these licensed websites to help you find the perfect image. To show you an example, the photos below are the results that turn up when I search for the keyword ‘Awards’ on each website.

Creative Commons (CC)

Result when I search ‘Awards’ on CC Search

“_TXT9911”by Official GDC is licensed under CC BY 2.0

Images from CC are freely available for legal use, sharing, repurposing, and remixing. You won’t have to worry about not being able to find a suitable photo on CC, as they have millions sharing their photos on the platform for all to use!

However, there is one condition of all CC licenses, which is source attribution. You may use the images freely, for any purpose, but do remember that you have to give credit to the people who provided you those pictures.

What is the best practice for source attribution? Here is an example given by CC of an ideal attribution.

“Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco” by tvol is licensed under CC BY 2.0

  • Title? “Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco”
  • Author? “tvol” – add link to his profile page
  • Source? “Creative Commons 10th Birthday Celebration San Francisco” – add to original page
  • License? “CC BY 2.0” – add link to license deed

You are able to copy a HTML to embed the attribution with license icons in your web page.

Unsplash

Result when I search ‘Awards’ on Unsplash

Unsplash is a a go-to website if you need artsy pictures to use for your blogs and digital projects. You can search the inventory on the website as well as subscribe to receive 10 new images every 10 days, delivered straight to your inbox. All photos published on Unsplash can be used for free. You can use them for commercial and noncommercial purposes without needing to provide credit to the photographer or Unsplash, although it is appreciated when possible.

More precisely, Unsplash grants you an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide copyright license to download, copy, modify, distribute, perform, and use photos from Unsplash for free, including for commercial purposes, without permission from or attributing the photographer or Unsplash. However, this license does not include the right to compile photos from Unsplash to replicate a similar or competing service.

Even though attribution isn’t required, it would be appreciated if you could credit the Unsplash photographers as it provides exposure to their work and encourages them to continue sharing.

Crediting the photographer can be as simple as this:

Photo by [Name with a profile link] on Unsplash

Pexel

Result when I search ‘Awards’ on Pexel

Pexel is very similar to Unsplash. All photos are free to use and modify without attribution. In fact, the Pexels team hand-picks all of the images from other free image sources, including previously mentioned Unsplash. 

However, there are some restrictions that is stated explicitly on the Pexel website:

✕ Identifiable people may not appear in a bad light or in a way that is offensive.

✕ Don’t sell unaltered copies of a photo, e.g. don’t sell it as a stock photo, poster, print or on a physical product without adding any value.

✕ Don’t imply endorsement of your product by people or brands on the image.

✕ Don’t redistribute or sell the photos on other stock photo or wallpaper platforms.

These restrictions are in place to ensure due respect is given to the hard work of their contributors.

You may have noticed that the websites have very different images that come up for the same keyword search. Thus, to find the perfect image for your next event, be it a conference, festival or seminar, you can consider using a combination of these websites to find the perfect image!

Check out the sites below to find free images which can be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes and check out their licenses too.

FUTR Asia Summit 2019

Posted on by veratanevnk

From 16-17 October 2019, FUTR held their inaugural FUTR Asia Summit in conjunction with the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) SG:D Industry Day and Singapore Business Federation’s (SBF) Future Economy Conference and Exhibition.

FUTR Asia Summit hosted a curated programme of insightful conference sessions, immersive showcases, deep drive round-tables and workshops and a curated exhibition of solution providers, to ensure businesses are prepared for the future of consumer-facing commerce.

The event received over 200 cross-industry speakers from a wide range of sectors sharing knowledge, experiences and insights, and housed highly-curated exhibitions and interactive showcases for delegates to immerse themselves in the future of retail, marketing and commerce.

There were many break-out sessions during the event. However, EventNook was able seamlessly to handle the large crowd with the multi-session check-in feature in our registration software.

Our EventNook Kiosk application was easy to use even for the part-time registration crew. The organisers did not worry about the registration and could focus on ensuring the success of their entire programme.

We would like to congratulate FUTR on their success and are honoured to have contributed to a digital and forward-thinking event.

3 Simple And Versatile Ideas That Will Make Your Sustainable Event Memorable

Posted on by veratanevnk

If you want to promote a sustainability at your event but do not want it to seem boring (the topic can be a little dry), here are some fun ideas you can incorporate in your next event to educate your guests about the importance of sustainability, without losing their attention midway!

#1 “Bring Your Own”…

Prior to the event, you can promote a “Bring-Your-Own Mug” initiative, which would look something like this:

This will help you reduce plastic or paper cup usage at your events, which could significantly lower your carbon footprint.

You could reward those who bring their own mugs with free drinks or ticket discounts, to incentivise your guests to participate in this initiative. You could even switch it up, “Bring Your Own” Plate, Spoon, Napkin… Anything!

#2 Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Fringe Activities

Another activity that will definitely keep your guests interested during your event would be hands-on activities. Some sustainable ideas would be letting them design their own mugs, cup sleeves and creating their very own mason jar terrarium. The sky is limitless, explore your options!

These DIY activities will increase interaction and attention by getting their creative juices flowing. After the event, they are able to take their product home and will be able to use them, which would remind them of your event. The benefits do not just stop there. These activities would increase the chance of your guests publicising the event on social media with their finished products, which could be a form of promotion for your future events.

#3 Personalised, Eco-Friendly Gifts

At the beginning of the event, you could wow them with a seamless, tech-centred registration system. You could check-in your guests with a QR code and instantaneously print out personalised name badges that are made of eco-friendly, tear resistant material. This quick and efficient process is sure to capture your guests’ attention and establish that you are a digitally advanced and sustainable business. You could also gift them a set of eco-friendly cutlery or water bottle with your company logo on it, or add your guests’ name for a more personal touch!

Memorable events are retold, from your customer to your next potential customer. What kind of experiences are being told about your event? That is up to you.

Sustainable Events: Is It Really That Far Of A Goal?

Posted on by veratanevnk

From our previous post, event sustainability is the talk of the town. According to meetgreen.com the typical conference waste attendee produces 1.89KG of waste per day, 1.16KG of that will go directly to a landfill.  Undoubtedly, the inertia to switch away from your usual planning methods may be high, however, the result you get will be even higher.

Here are some tips to get you started on your sustainable event planning:

Go Paperless

This is pretty easy don’t you think? In the digital age, creating an event registration page or using online ticketing platforms is no stranger.

  • This not only reduces waste, it also allows you to communicate with your event guests in real-time. Change of time or meeting venue? No problem! You can simply edit your event details on an online event management software.
  • You will also notice cost savings in the long run because you will never need to reprint thousands of programs when you make a mistake or need to make a change to the schedule.
  • Your guests will never lose their ticket or your event information as they are all stored and easily accessible from their smartphones.
  • You will never need to fumble and flip through long lists of names if you use a QR code check-in registration system, where you can check-in instantaneously and track attendance with each guest’s unique QR code.

Reduce Use of Cars

Encourage your guests to take public transport or arrange shuttle or car-pooling services so that your attendees can come to and leave your event conveniently and at the same time, reduce your carbon footprint. You should make sure your location is easily accessible by choosing one that is close to public transport systems.

Food and Drink

Food wastage is rampant across events as we are always overestimating the attendance rate. While it is safer to have more food than less food during the event day, you should consider setting up or sourcing for a food salvation programme where you can donate excess food to those in need. At least this contributes to a good cause and food is not just thrown and wasted. You should also look into using bio-degradable cups or cutlery which are capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms and thereby avoiding pollution.

Save Energy

Using renewable energy sources with efficient system design such as LED lighting and the latest in technology can help cut power usage and minimize your footprint. Alternatively, you can consider hosting your events at green venues such as Concorde and Grand Hyatt Hotels or even outdoors depending on your event.

Getting Rid of Event Waste

It is definitely difficult to clean up after an event, but you can start by getting volunteers to clear the trash or collect and recycle if possible. Event attendees always leave their mess around which causes pollution to outdoor event spaces.

Mess left behind after Electric Picnic 2018

You can also take this chance to educate and remind your guests about the importance of protecting the environment. There is a much higher chance of guests cleaning up after themselves if you set up easily accessible bins. You can also encourage recycling by replacing the normal trash bins with recycling bins. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for your attendees to recycle and maintain the venue while still enjoying the event.

The sustainable event trend provides endless opportunities for event planners and businesses to change the way we operate which could help our environment. Whether it’s a music festival or a conference, implementing digital tools are easier than ever in the digital age.

Say you are planning an annual conference. You know that ticketing, registration and scheduling are areas you want to target to become sustainable, but how?

For starters, you can use an online event management platform such as EventNook to set-up your event. You can key in event details, collect payment, send e-mail notifications of enrollment, schedule reminders and create a unique QR code ticket for each guest. Registration can be streamlined through scanning of QR codes and at the same time, reduce paper usage.

Going from zero to hero may seem like a daunting task, but if you don’t try, you will never discover the benefits it will give you.

Sustainable Events: This Might Be Your Next Big Thing

Posted on by veratanevnk

Sustainability is not just a buzzword, but an ever-green topic that will be talked about for a long time. Recently, social media users took the Amazon Rainforest fires to the center stage, with millions of people showing their outrage on various platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. On 21st September 2019, more than 1,700 people gathered at Hong Lim Park for Singapore’s first-ever Climate Rally. It is without a doubt that people are more aware of the severity of our environmental situation and starting to feel a sense of urgency to protect the environment.

What does this mean for event planners? We have to ride the wave of change and make our events sustainable.

Sustainable events means that you are making changes to your event to avoid the depletion of natural resources. The goal is to help maintain the environmental or at minimum ecological balance.

Image result for sustainability event

You may ask: Why should I care about event sustainability? The answer is simple. It is likely that your audience cares, therefore, you should too because people are becoming more environmentally conscious and you would not want to be criticised for being an unethical organiser. This would damage your reputation and people may not return to your next event.

Although many people are picking up the importance of sustainability, many events are still not caught up. It is considered best business practice to make your events sustainable, at all stages of operations, and this could be a unique selling point over your competitors.

However, you should care for about sustainability not just because of your audience. Sure, a sustainable event may boost your reputation and attract more people. However, even if the people don’t give a dime about sustainability, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care too.

The “ great time we had today ” can leave an aftermath of problems for tomorrow. When people get together, particularly in large numbers, they can put a strain on local resources such as water and energy, and create significant waste, or tensions related to culture or sheer proximity with neighbouring communities.

ISO 20121

Your audience may be there to listen the conference or seminar but is not necessarily interested in sustainability. However, if you make a conscious effort to make each aspect of your event sustainable and communicating these efforts to your audience, you will also educate your audience by the end of your event. Events have the power to change the way people think and act. That’s the responsibility that event managers should all take.

Start integrating sustainable practices in your next event and you could become a front runner for sustainability, where you will set a benchmark for your competitors to follow.

How To Increase Online Ticket Sales For Your Events? Find Out How With Google Analytics

Posted on by veratanevnk

In our last post, we shared how you can apply the data generated from Google Analytics (GA) Audience Reports to your events. 

While it is important to know who your audience is, it is as important to know how your audience arrived at your event website to begin with. Google Analytics’ Acquisition information tells you just that. This is crucial in determining which online marketing tactics are bringing the most visitors to your event website.

We will discuss the following subcategories under Acqusition:

  • Overview
  • Channels
  • All Traffic
  • Referrals
  • Campaigns
  • Keywords
  • Cost Analysis
  • Google Ads
  • Social 

Overview

Acquisition Overview provides a snapshot of what Google calls the “Acquisition-Behavior-Conversion (ABC) Cycle.” In short, it shows you how your audience come to your event websites, what they do while they are on your website and whether they have completed a goal you have defined in GA (e.g. completing a registration or calling for an enquiry).

Channels

Channels tell you how your audience arrived at your website. The following are the explanations of each type of channel: 

  • Organic Search like Google, Yahoo! or Bing queries, provide the majority of web traffic for most websites
  • Referral traffic comes from a link on another website
  • Direct visitors come to your site by entering your unique domain name into their web browser
  • Social traffic comes from places like Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest
  • Paid Search traffic comes from Google Ads or other advertising platforms
  • Email simply means the traffic comes from a link clicked from an email

All Traffic

Next, you want to know which website sends people to you. The default settings here show a breakdown of your biggest traffic sources.

All Referrals

This section excludes search engines and direct traffic and shows the websites visitors use to arrive at your site. 

Campaigns

This section provides a breakdown of your Google Ads and other web advertising campaigns. You can see if your event advertising dollars are going to good use by tracking conversions and other metrics of visitors who find websites through paid campaigns.

Keywords

If you run a Google Ads campaign, you can see how your ad campaign keywords impact search results and traffic. If you do not run a Google Ads campaign, you can still see what kind of keywords people typed in Google to find your website through Acquisition> Search Console> Queries.

Google analytics queries

Cost Analysis

According to Google, “The Cost Analysis report analyzes costs for your non-Google ad campaigns. To see Google Ads cost metrics, use the Google Ads reports.”

Google Ads

This information is particularly useful to website owners who are spending valuable marketing dollars on a Google Ads campaign. Here, you can learn about your bids, keywords, destination URLs, placements and more.

Social

Social media has become an indispensable tool for all businesses. Most events with high ticket sales have successful marketing campaigns across numerous social media platforms. With so many social media platforms, how can we keep track of them all? Fortunately, GA makes it easy to analyse social media metrics all under one roof. 

How do I apply information from the GA Acquisition report in my events?

Most significantly, the data would influence how you would strategize marketing campaigns for your event, for example: 

  1. Knowing where most of your traffic comes from would equate to identifying your “money-maker”. You can then increase your marketing activity through that channel, which could bring in more customers.
  2. Knowing which channels are falling behind would signal that you need to find a marketing solution to increase reach in that channel. For example, if your LinkedIn account is not performing as well as your Instagram account, it could be because LinkedIn is a platform for professionals and Instagram has a casual setting. You may look into using different content if you currently standardise marketing content across both channels.
  3. Pump, maintain or drop my ads? Knowing whether your money spent on ads are worthwhile could assist you in making future marketing decisions.

With the help of the Acquisition Report, you can better direct your digital marketing resources and look forward to receiving higher online ticket sales for your events!

Inspiring A Smart Community: ESRI Singapore User Conference

Posted on by veratanevnk

On 3rd September 2019, EventNook was part of the largest event on Singapore’s spacial calendar, the ESRI Singapore User Conference (ESUC). With the theme ‘Inspiring Outcomes’, ESUC 2019 explores how GIS technology is changing the way organisations operate and serve their communities — today and for generations to come.

This event fully utilised all of EventNook’s services, which included:

This event had a general registration booth, VIP registration booth and a walk-in booth. ESRI used EventNook’s Onsite Instant Badge Printing service for the general registration booth. For VIP registration, ESRI used our printers to pre-print the name badges for the VIPs, where they would collect them at the booth when they check-in.

Registration counters

WHat we noticed…

  • Many VIPs went to the general admission booth to check-in although their name badges were already ready for collection at the VIP booth. Luckily, this was anticipated by ESRI and EventNook. Our Event Management Software had a feature where the VIPs could check-in at the general counter where they would be identified if they were VIPs or not. If they were VIPs, they would be checked-in, but their name badges will not be printed, after which, they would be directed to the VIP booth to collect their badges. This reduces confusion and wastage through double-printing of badges.
  • The Smart QR Check-In and Onsite Instant Badge Printing service was highly efficient. The whole check-in process for a delegate only 10 seconds. Here is the breakdown: 1 second to scan the QR ticket + 1 second to print the name badge + 3 seconds to attach the lanyard to the name badge + 5 seconds to pack the goodie bag.
  • There were many walk-in registrations and people who came on behalf of their colleagues. Although these delegates did not have their details in the registration system, we were able to register them very quickly with our Event Management Software and have name badges printed for them on the spot.
  • ESRI employees were able to easily manage the registration booths as our mobile check-in kiosks are easy-to-use even for first-timers. Our Onsite Support Team was also there to brief them prior to the event and saw through the entire event from start-to-end.
