Our beautifully printed posters not only are catching the eye of more potential audience members, but, we got a most interesting call. There is a locally owned internet. Ticketing agent that runs a site called Okctickets. In addition they also print professional, glossy, barcoded. Tickets @ 10cents each! No setup fee, no design fee) All of this at no charge to you! 6 The...

Tuesday, February 3, 2009. Three rules to run a box office by:. First: The customer is always right. Even when they are wrong, let them know that their concerns are legitimate. Fix it if you can, if you can't then sympathize, but if they are not endangering anyone or causing a scene, do your best to make them want to come back, and hopefully bring friends! Keep plenty of change, extra receipts, pens. And whatever else you might need. Again, you want them to come back. Third: The show's the thing! The Lob...

The Box office: Be Frugal, Not Cheap!
http://the-boxoffice.blogspot.com/2008/03/be-frugal-not-cheap.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Be Frugal, Not Cheap! Doing quality work always pays off. We recently began hiring a printer to make our show bills (posters) with tremendous results. Not only do we get 11x17” full color, glossy photo quality card stock posters from a local vendor (gotta love that supporting the local economy) for less than a buck a piece (kinkwho’s? But we have found that these beauties are attracting a lot of attention. Then instead of giving up and continuing on in the same rut, make a few ...

Sunday, August 12, 2007. Join the Digital Age and Reap the Profits! Picture this, a frustrated parent stands at a foam board lined with dozens of beautiful color photos of a musical, dance recital, etc. They are trying to decipher the secret code of numbers and letters to present an accurate order form so that they end up with Susie's solo instead Jim Bob hamming it up, sound familiar? Add to that the fact that the end result will be almost no net gain to anyone, including the photographer. More than twi...

The Box office: Putting Bums in the Seats!
http://the-boxoffice.blogspot.com/2008/03/putting-bums-in-seats.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2008. Putting Bums in the Seats! I have a friend, yes I do have at least one, who we will call Dr. Huddleston. We will call him that because it is his name. Doctor, makes you kind of a little nervous to have lunch with a guy who is younger than you and already has, not an honorary doctorate, mind you, but, an actual PHD in theatre! But he's a nice guy, and usually quite inspiring. So I thought I would share what I believe is the main issue. Get your pencil, it's going to be good! Step ...
