Creating Make and Take experiences for festivals and events

The time is right for Make and Take events
As the weather warms up planning starts to shift to events & festival season. Make and Take experiences can be a great way to introduce new audiences to your products and courses. They can also be a great marketing tool to expand your prospective customer base.
From a planning perspective, events & festivals have a common challenge. There is an audience that experiences downtime between all the main planned events. They are looking for new and interesting things to try. Event coordinators are often looking for novel ideas and experiences to offer. These experiences can provide a unique opportunity to get in front of large groups of people. Event coordinators often ask themselves:
“How do you keep the audience engaged so they stay longer?”
Experiences are a great way to do this. For the customer, it is a low pressure way to experience your products and services. If they enjoy the experience, they can seek you out in the future for more experiences and products.
We talked to two artisans that have designed Make and Take experiences for festivals and events.
