As you review the tools in your event management tool kit, consider how a floorplanning tool could strengthen the lineup. Floorplanning tools offer the functionality to create event layouts and custom video walkthroughs, among other things. These powerful visual representations can be used during the event sales, event planning, and event setup processes. A few months ago, we introduced Tripleseat Floorplans, a floorplanning tool of its own kind. Tripleseat Floorplans allows users to make both 2D and 3D layouts, which can be easily accessed by an event manager within any event in Tripleseat. These floorplans can be shared with prospects to show the potential for an event in a space, with clients when deciding on final room details, with external vendors who are bringing decor into the space, and with internal team members to confirm the room is set as the client expects it to be. If you aren't sure about how a floorplanning tool could help you just yet, we put together a downloadable resource that provides insights into all the ways floorplanning technology could be beneficial for your event program.

Upselling event packages has never been easier when you have Tripleseat Floorplans in your event management toolkit. Tripleseat Floorplans allows event managers to create 2D and 3D event layouts to give clients an exact visualization of the event's details in the venue. The key to upselling is to be strategic and tasteful, using the visuals to showcase how an elevated option could make for a better experience. Here are a few ways to upsell using Tripleseat Floorplans: - Create event layouts using the basic vs. the premium tier options for linens, chairs, and table decor to quickly give clients visibility into each of their options for the event. These 3D mockups can be quickly custom made to show how each tier could look alongside the other event details. - Make custom layouts that maximize capacity or provide a more elevated experience by rearranging furniture to create a VIP section, adding extra seating to accommodate more guests, or building a cozy lounge area specifically set for that event. - Outline ways that clients can upgrade their event space by using additional or larger private dining rooms, chef's table experiences, or other event add-on activations that could require additional spend. - Before you are even at the point of upselling, event layouts can be used to sell the space to begin with by showing clients how you are able to creatively accommodate all of their personal requests better than the competition.

If you haven't heard yet, Tripleseat now offers floorplanning! Our latest product, Tripleseat Floorplans, elevates your venue's event planning with intuitive 2D and 3D floorplanning tools that help clients visualize exactly what their event could look like in your space. In just a few clicks, venue managers can drag and drop custom furniture -- like tables, chairs, and curtains -- into a 2D layout, showing how the room would be set. Then, bring that layout to life with a 3D model, showcasing every detail down to the color of the linens and light fixtures. Send your client a 3D flythrough video of the customized event space, and they can experience exactly what a guest would experience walking through the space. As you get started with using Tripleseat Floorplans, here are a few tips to keep in mind to create the best floor plans and event layouts: 1. Start with accurate measurements of your space within Tripleseat Floorplans so that the digital versions of your space are exact replicas of your physical space. This will mean measuring the venue precisely, noting the location of fixed elements like pillars or bars, and considering ceiling height for potential decor. 2. Design templates for your most common event types and then utilize those for efficiency when working with a new client. Tripleseat Floorplans allows you to create and save design templates, so while you are creating a custom layout for each client, you do not need to start from scratch every time. 3. Remember the details when building your event layouts! Tripleseat Floorplans allows users to upload their specific inventory, so the digital layout will look exactly like the real thing. Be sure to show your client exactly how your venue's or vendor's custom chairs, linens, AV equipment, and other items will look in the space.

What is trending in private dining right now and what can you bring into your restaurant or venue to elevate your offerings? We put together a list of 13 next-level private dining experiences that can help you generate buzz about your business and bring guests through your doors time and time again. 1. Interactive culinary and chef's table experiences that give guests an unforgettable time with the chef will never go out of style, so it's up to your team to get creative with how you reinvent your chef's table offerings. Think about how you can create a chef's table experience by season, with unique ingredients or themes, and new surprise elements. 2. "Eatertainment" or "competitive socializing" continues to be all the rage as guests seek an activity along with a top-tier food and beverage experience. While some venues are simply built for this type of interest, it's still possible to incorporate games and activities within the dining experience without formally being a mini golf course or bowling alley, per se. Tripleseat customer Bube's Brewery Dining and Entertainment offers Murder Mystery dinners and other interactive shows to give guests a unique way to experience the brewery. Consider bringing other activity-based elements like live music shows, film viewings, or trivia nights to your establishment to give guests a memorable evening out. 3. Pop-up dinners and events that can be booked as a large party reservation or ticketed event are another unique way that a restaurant can showcase a private dining experience with an added element of FOMO. Perhaps you offer a limited-time-only menu in partnership with another local business. Maybe you take your pop-up outside of the restaurant walls into a new community for a limited time. Transform your space by the holiday season with specialty menus and decor, like Tripleseat customer Oscar Wilde does every Halloween and Christmas season. The idea of a pop-up is to generate buzz with a specific private dining offer that guests will be enticed to book before it's too late. Check out our full list of trends that can help elevate your private dining and event offerings at the link below. Then, when you're ready, the Tripleseat event management software is here to help you manage all of your private event, large party reservation, or ticketed event needs. #eventindustry #eventtrends #hospitalityindustry #eventsales #restaurantindustry https://lnkd.in/eEnRa9Kg
