2020 has been a difficult year for everyone on an unprecedented scale, and event organisers have been faced with the challenge of finding new ways to keep their events running whilst adhering to strict regulations and a world that brings new obstacles daily and no one knows what tomorrow brings.
With that said, we have been absolutely inspired by seeing many of our organisers devise creative ways to keep their events running safely; as well as keeping a much-needed income stream going, it is also vital for people’s mental health that they are able to enjoy events in some form at least.
How can live-streaming help my business?
It has become clear that physically seating spectators in stadiums is not going to be possible in the short-term future, at least in a very limited number, however that does not mean that you have to completely stop offering a service.
Many sporting organisations and football clubs have taken the decision to live stream matches to their keen fans, providing them which some much needed entertainment from the safety of their own home. This is a very marketable prospect at this time, as people need something to look forward to and being able to support their football (or sports) club through an online viewing experience is the perfect way to boost their general mood and wellbeing.
Importantly, this is also a vital revenue stream for your club in a difficult time and will help to ensure that your organisation continues to operate successfully whilst providing the best possible service under the circumstances. You may bundle this service for the seasonal ticket holders, you may charge per event/match or you may sell “half-season”-tickets.
