Not all events are going to have the brightest or the most open audience. However, that shouldn’t stop you from making a memorable night for both you and your guests. Orlando event management experts, Fun Planners, can help you get past all of the yawns and monotonous presentations by offering four tips on how to entertain a rather boring audience.
- Create the Perfect Hook: Not having a catchy hook can cause you to lose your audience’s interests in just a matter of seconds. We’ve seen this happen so many times and if you’re using the old tricks and tips, you’ll be sure to experience this again in your next event. The “hook” is what makes or breaks it. Go outside of the box and contradict the norm by getting creative and having the audience engaged and involved in your presentations or discussions.
- Bring in Some Funk: No matter what kind of event you may be hosting, everyone loves to be entertained. Wake up your guests by bringing in local performers, musicians, fire throwers, or any other form of entertainment that could go well with your event’s theme. Make sure to capture all of the exciting and enjoyable moments and share it later on social media.
- Make Them Curious: To avoid any loss of interest, grab your audiences’ attention by having them wonder and be curious on what else is prepared for the event. You can do this by adding clues or hints within your presentation to have them anticipate all you have planned. Another great way to keep your audience guessing is to have them use social media and the event’s hashtag to make others aware and come up with guesses. Having a contest in which the person who guesses the hint and wins a prize is a great way to keep the people involved as everyone loves gifts.
- Be a Revolutionary: Most events today go through the same settings. You walk into a room, grab a seat, listen to the presenter talk for an hour or so, and move on to the next session. Avoid such a mundane event by making yours extraordinary. Create sessions that are more hands-on by having questions written up for the audience to discuss afterward. Brainstorm how to socially engage with the audience or think about what tools worked for some that may not have worked for others. The goal is to collaborate for growth in learning, hearing new ideas, and expressing our thoughts out loud.
Bringing a little “oomph” to your event is definitely a must. Not only do we abhor going into a room full of men and women with serious expressions, but the guests themselves probably aren’t happy to be there either. There are endless ways to enliven your event and considering on these tips will be sure to give your night the boost it needs.
