Why do we love experiential marketing with epic events? Making your brand the life of the party is an awesome way to help attendees enjoy your products or services while creating lasting memories. However, in order to keep the party going, you must ensure everyone’s safety while they’re at your event. You can’t forget about crowd control while planning your event or you risk putting your customers’ safety and your brand’s reputation in jeopardy.

What is crowd control?

Crowd control is the management of large groups of people. If your event is drawing in a ton of people to one space, you’ll want to have a plan in place for how you’re going to direct people through your event and how you’re going to maintain everyone’s safety all evening long. Whether your event is inside a venue or outdoors at the local fairgrounds, you’re still responsible for every individual who enters your event. When considering crowd management at your next event, consider important factors such as venue capacity limitations, admissions process and whether alcohol will be served.

Why should you be thinking about it?

With hundreds of people all in one space, anything can happen. Unfortunately, if something bad were to take place at an event with your branding all over the party, these bad experiences could catch up to your brand’s reputation.  If you’re throwing a party or hosting an event, you want to ensure your guests remember your brand for the amazing time they had. 

Staff required to control your staff

When it comes to managing the crowd at your event, you’re not alone. Trained and experienced staff can help all of your guests have a fun, safe and memorable time. If you’re serving alcohol, you’ll want to bring on security staff to work your admissions process to make sure all event attendees are legal drinking age or see to it that all drinking age attendees are equipped with wristbands at all-ages events. Inside your event, crowd control personnel keep an eye on the crowds to make sure everyone is having a good and safe time. When it comes to giving directions and keeping up the energy, your brand ambassadors have got you covered. It takes a team to pull off a great and safe event. Juggling all these different staff members can be a challenge, however, a staffing agency could be the easy fix for recruiting, hiring and training the right staff for your event needs.
