The 5 Crucial Phases of Successful School Event Planning
School events are perfect times to showcase kids’ talents. Parents rejoice watching their little bundles of joy singing, dancing, playing, and performing activities they learned in the school they chose for their kids. Since there are kids, parents, and grandparents involved, managing delegations and maintaining discipline becomes a challenge for most. However, planning for a successful school event takes a lot of creativity and attention to detail. The school event management process from start to finish involves five crucial phases that we will discuss below.
1. Event Conceptualization
While conceptualizing the school event, it is critical to determine these pointers:
• Purpose of the Event: Planning for a school event may have varied purposes, whether to showcase talent, raise funds, or host an award ceremony. Some schools also organize annual functions, sports events, science fairs, or art exhibitions. Whatever the event’s purpose is, it is essential to define it clearly from the very beginning.
• Event Attendees: Another vital pointer to determine while planning a school event is the attendees coming to the function. Consider whether the guests will be the students only, their parents also, or any random individual who buys tickets to the event. Some VIP guests may also attend the event, who may require special seats and arrangements.

10 Useful and Hassle-Free School Event Management Tips
A school event helps showcase each student’s talent, whether through an international science fair or a musical concert. While most of the audience will be the students’ parents, the school would want to deliver the best event experience to build its reputation. This is when an event management and ticketing program comes in to improve event management.
Managing a school event is daunting for both veterans and first-time organizers, and often feels intimidating. While planning for a successful school event, here are a few valuable and hassle-free school event management tips and how an event ticketing platform helps.
• Avoid Chaos at the Event
A well-managed event means reputation building and appreciation for the school. While parents would rejoice to watch their kids perform, there is no way to have them waiting in queues. Using event ticketing software to distribute and validate tickets will cut queues short and save the guests' excitement.
• Sell Tickets in Multiple Ways
Selling event tickets online is an excellent way to offer a great experience to parents and other guests. The attendees will have their tickets in hand even before reaching the venue. This saves them from standing in queues to buy tickets or find seats.

Ticket Delivery - Options and Considerations
When it comes to selling tickets online, one concern is how and when the buyer is going to get the tickets and how the event organizer can provide fast, easy, reliable and cost-effective methods for ticket delivery.
The most common delivery methods are:
• E-Tickets (Buyer prints their tickets at home)
• Digital Tickets (Buyer has the ticket on their smartphone)
• Will-Call (Buyer picks up their tickets at the venue or other designated places)
• Mail (Buyer receives their tickets in mail)
Ticketor fully supports all these delivery methods. The event organizer should offer a couple methods to make sure it is convenient for all buyers. The offered methods can change from event to event and from time to time. For example, you can offer “Mail” for early buyers while last-minute buyers won’t have the option. Or you can add or remove a delivery method at any time during the sale.
Time required for shipping and handling:
Some delivery methods have to stop a certain amount of time before each event to give you enough time for delivery. Some others don’t require this time and can continue till the end of sale.

A 9-Step Guide Event Marketers Must Use to Promote Through Instagram Stories
Event marketers can attract audiences and make an upcoming event a success only if they promote it properly. Earlier, event organizers used to market their events through flyers, billboards, and hoardings. Then came the power of the internet, which event marketers used to spread the word through emails and other online means. However, new-age marketing professionals know how promotion through social media can effectively promote an event and attract audiences to it.
One of the most effective platforms to promote an event through social media is Instagram. Let’s see why and how to promote an event through Instagram stories.
Why Instagram Stories?
The primary reason why Instagram Stories are so successful in marketing is that people want to hear, see, and learn, but they have limited time. Instagram Stories are 15-second videos that automatically disappear within 24 hours of posting. When active users log in to their app, they see these stories on top of their page rather than in the feed that goes down with time.
