We are increasingly seeing more events wanting to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable in response to the growing concerns over climate change.
As an event organiser, there are many ways you can make your event more green.
Australia has made a commitment to be net-zero by 2050, and the Federal and State Governments are full steam ahead offering all kinds of assistance to events that can operate on a more carbon neutral footprint.
So what can you do to qualify your event for some of that funding while also having a more positive impact on the environment?
1. Ditch the paper to reduce your carbon footprint
Go green with INTIX by ditching printed tickets. INTIX offers a complete online ticketing solution that requires no printing. You can book, purchase and scan through our app - all while saving a few more trees in the process.
You can also use the same app for selling tickets at the gate with the INTIX Box Office and Tap-to-Pay function - reducing the need for additional hardware, receipt printing, and ultimately reducing your carbon footprint further.
2. Digitise showbags and handouts
Are you running an expo? or an event that encourages sponsors to produce flyers and coupons? Why not use a ticketing company that can push out that material via push notifications to all on-site event goers? or even email the attendees before, during, or after the event?
INTIX has a fully online solution that has in-built marketing capabilities including personalised direct email marketing, push notifications and SMS. Which is perfect for creating digital showbags and including sponsors and exhibitors material.
3. Use app accreditations
Instead of printing hundreds of plastic accreditation cards for your staff and suppliers - why not also run accreditations through the INTIX platform and app? It also means for a smoother event experience where you keep track of all your entrants in the one place. It also means you can keep track of real-time capacities and who has already entered and who hasn’t.
4. Use INTIX Tap-to-Pay for event day sales
Using Tap to Pay on iPhone or Android via the INTIX app means you don’t need to buy or hire any additional hardware to sell tickets at the gate. All you need is a compatible iPhone or Android and the INTIX Box Office app and customers can tap their card and enter. All data is captured in the same online system and they can have a receipt emailed to them if they want. No need for any paper, - eftpos terminals, or square devices!
These tips wont only save the environment, but they will also save you money, time and stress. They will make your event more carbon neutral - so you can apply for that ever important funding - and make the event ticketing process a breeze!
So if you want to add more green to your event - INTIX has the green ticket for you!
