Happy Friday dear organizers! It’s been a busy week here at Freshtix. We spent the first half of the week up in Chattanooga for SFEA. We handed out koozies and they were pretty sweet. We’ve got a bunch of great Freshtix events happening this weekend that we’re going to go and help out with so let’s just get right to it. Get your read on gang.

Ways To Enhance Millennial Relations via Venues Today 

2.23millenials

Millennials are categorized most broadly as the generation born between 1980 and 2000. They are currently the largest generation in the United States, making up one-third of the population and, in the next five years, it is predicted that about one-third of all spending will be done by millennials. But most important, for the industry, millennials are the future subscribers and season-ticketholders, and shouldn’t be left out of the conversation.

Why we clipped it: Millenials are such a topic of discussion. How do we reach them? How do we manage them? How to we keep their attention? This was a good summary looking at the challenges all across the spectrum.

The Value of An Event Manager at Your Event via Endless Entertainment

2.13eventmanager

If the stress of the last few months of planning or even a year hasn’t made you keel over, your event is ready to take on that challenge. You’re the planner, you know every cue, nook, and cranny, so you very well know you can’t be in ten places at once. And no matter how many pennies you tossed in that fountain dreaming of being a superhero, you won’t grow five extra limbs in order to implement every well-planned element. That’s where the value of an event manager comes in.

Why we clipped it: Because they’re so right. Don’t try to be a super hero. Tights aren’t flattering on most people anyway.

You, yes you, are far greater than any problem or disappointment that may be present in your life. I don’t care who you are or what you have accomplished, we all go through disappointments in life and struggle from time to time with coming to the realization just how special we truly are.

Why we clipped it: These are excellent little gems advice. I’d like to add, just don’t wear tights.

2.23wheel

There’s no proof that this contestant, who managed to solve the puzzle with one fairly common letter on the board, has supernatural powers, but for purposes of protecting our own fragile self-esteems, he had some extra help from the universe. He’s totally not just smarter than you.

Why we clipped it: How?!
