During the festival: How to use notifications?

Last updated on Apr 09, 2025

The festival is in full swing... It's the perfect time to use FEST notifications and amplify your festival-goers' live experience! It's also a golden opportunity for your partners!

Notifications: Your allies during the festival:

  • Real-time info and updates: Last-minute schedule changes? Stage relocation? Technical issue resolved? Inform your festival-goers instantly so they don't miss anything.

  • Crowd management and safety: Indicate less crowded areas, alternative routes, important safety instructions (in case of high heat, for example). Ensure a smooth and safe festival.

  • Live promotions and special offers: A food stand is having a happy hour? An artist's merchandise has a discount? Notifications are perfect for generating traffic and on-site sales.

  • Highlighting events and activities: Reminders for an upcoming concert on a secondary stage, announcement of a surprise activity, invitation to participate in a contest... Maximize participation in all aspects of your festival.

  • Improving user experience: Reminders about app features (interactive map, cashless, etc.), practical tips (where to find water, phone charging stations...). Make your festival-goers' lives easier.

  • Rapid response to unforeseen events: In case of cancellation, significant delay, or any other unexpected issue, notifications allow you to communicate quickly and effectively with your entire audience.

  • Live feedback collection: Launch quick surveys after a concert or activity to gather your festival-goers' opinions and adjust your event in real-time if necessary.

  • Reminders for favorites: Festival-goers who have favorited artists receive a reminder just before the concert starts. An excellent way to ensure stages are full and satisfy fans.

An added advantage: Sponsor integration via notifications!

  • Highlighting partners: Thank your sponsors by mentioning them in targeted notifications (for example, "This concert is presented by [Sponsor Name]").

  • Sponsored promotions: Offer exclusive benefits related to your sponsors (discounts upon presentation of a partner's product, invitations to sponsored VIP areas...).

  • Traffic to partner spaces: Encourage festival-goers to visit your sponsors' booths by highlighting their activities and special offers via geo-localized notifications if desired.

  • Contests and brand activations: Use notifications to announce contests organized by your sponsors and encourage participation.

In short:

Notifications during the festival are your tool to:

  • Keep your audience informed live.

  • Optimize the flow and safety of the event.

  • Boost activity at various points of interest.

  • Offer an enriched and stress-free festival experience.

  • React quickly and effectively in case of unforeseen events.

  • Value your sponsors and amplify their visibility with your audience.
