Increase Festival Engagement With CrowdUltra’s Award-Winning Festival Audience Interaction App
Making your festival an engaging experience is one of the most important aspects of any festival. Audience engagement is one of the biggest factors in a great attendee
experience and makes the festival special. There is immense value in any festival utilizing CrowdUltra to improve audience interaction and the festival as a whole.
CrowdUltra is the only free all-in-one event app, also named Eventplanner.net’s Best Event App for two years in a row. See how CrowdUltra’s revolutionary event app
enables festivals to perfectly tailor audience interaction and facilitate attendee engagement.
Festivals can create a free CrowdUltra Channel for their festival. CrowdUltra Channels establish an organized social hub for the festival to increase connection,
engagement, awareness, and event attendance. Upon creating a Channel for the festival, Channel Events can then be added for various aspects of the festival such as live
sets. Events foster organized engagement regarding the aspect of the festival, establish an organized location to provide robust information, and enable attendees to
easily stay on top of everything.
Every Channel and Event has a chat for every crowd member, Host, and hired talent to communicate with one another through text message. Channel/Event chats establish
organized communication regarding the specific Channel or Event to increase engagement and strengthen connection while never getting in the way of Event or daily Feed
engagement. Private group chats can also be created between crowd members for every Channel and Event, allowing for personalized chatting among friends surrounding the
Channel or Event.
Festival Events can enable one of several different forms of Event Engagement. These include Event Posts, Meet & Greets, Q&A, and Call-Ins. The various audience
interaction avenues allow festivals to increase audience interaction regarding different aspects of the festival by tailoring the best form of organized engagement. Event
Engagement can also not only be utilized for various aspects of festivals, but also for better empowering exhibitors and sponsors of all types.
Festivals can enable attendees to easily post, share, and connect on any device surrounding the occasion via Event Posts on CrowdUltra. By facilitating organized
engagement through posts, festivals can increase the effectiveness of audience interaction as well as connection surrounding the occasion. CrowdUltra Posts are far more
organized and effective than social platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Festivals can augment the experience by allowing the Crowd to share their experience, be creative,
have fun, as well as inform and help other.
Those hosting a festival can enable Event Posts before, during, after, or some combination of the three. They can allow the Crowd to post audio, video, images, links,
YouTube/Vimeo videos, or written posts. Anonymous Posts can also be published if allowed by the Host. Event Posts are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest
rank based on Crowd voting. Every post can be responded to by Hosts and Guests/Speakers. They can respond with audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or in
written format. Posts can also be highlighted to spotlight to the Crowd as a whole or dismissed and removed from the list.
Festival planners, talent, or sponsors/exhibitors can also engage with attendees in Event Call-Ins or Meet & Greets. Festival attendees can be allowed to either join an
ordered queue or submit their conversation topic to pre-screen. One or more attendees can then interact through audio or video chat. Upon the conversation being over,
those hosting the Call-In/Meet & Greet can remove attendees from the chat and automatically be linked with the next audience member in the queue or select the next
interesting topic. The audio or video chat can also be livestream broadcast to YouTube and recorded to Dropbox.
Festivals can find immense value in conducting Q&A as well. The standard nature of asking a question by passing around a microphone or standing in line is far less
effective and efficient than using CrowdUltra. Other commonly used outlets such as Slido are also limited in comparison to CrowdUltra.
CrowdUltra questions are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting, to assist in showing the Host or moderator what the Crowd has the
most curiosity about to save time. A moderator for the Q&A may be entirely eliminated by using CrowdUltra as well. Questions can be allowed to be asked before, during,
after, or some combination of the three. Questions can be asked and answered in audio, video, or written format on any device. Questions can be asked in general as well
as to a specific Host or Speaker and Hosts can also allow Questions to be asked anonymously. Questions can also be marked as answered if they were answered verbally during
the Event or dismissed to take them off the list and hide them.
Those hosting and a part of a festival can also engage with attendees in multiple ways all year long through the platform’s daily feed. CrowdUltra’s feed is designed to
enhance engagement by sparking communication in an effective way and extending awareness. Unlike other social platforms, CrowdUltra provides access to every follower
instead of less than one to ten percent, does not advertise on their daily feed, or use algorithms to manipulate effectiveness and reach.
Hosts can ask daily questions to their Crowd in audio, video, or written format as well as answer questions from members of their Crowd. They can also send daily
announcements to keep Crowd members in the loop and share content using CrowdUltra’s Rich-Text/HTML editor with countless embeddable integrations. Event info can also be
reposted to the CrowdUltra daily feed as a feed announcement. Announcements can then be reposted by members of your Crowd to everyone following them as well.
CrowdUltra is a robust all-in-one event app, offering far too many other features and functionality to discuss. Those interested in learning more can do so
