Typical Main Street Events
Your main street events are limited only by your imagination. These are just a few of our most commonly seen events by main street organizations and downtown associations.
Words from Main Street Organizations and Downtown Associations…
“The Winter Wine and Beer Walk is a really great way to get people in the stores, and shopping in the district during the holiday season – especially when it’s winter and people don’t want to go outside. TicketSignup is really user friendly; I like how you can set up an entire site and put your brand in it.”
“I love the automated emails, I used them to automatically send out an email 2 hours after someone buys tickets as well as schedule a pre-event email to send before the event.”
“The check in feature is great. We work pretty heavily with volunteers, so it’s really helpful that all they have to do is download the app to their phone, then they’re able to check people in.”
More Than Tickets:
