Before Events
FAQ
Will you handle my booking?
We can handle your bookings if you select the Elite Package but please note that all ticket sales/bookings taken by Workshop Number 29 will be subject to VAT.
What if a customer wants to book in the shop but I have opted for the Premium Package?
We suggest allowing us to take your booking in this instance rather than letting a potential booking walk out of the door, we can encourage customers to book directly with you but sometimes they prefer to book on the spot. Please note that all ticket sales/bookings taken by Workshop Number 29 will be subject to VAT.
How will we/ should you advertise the workshops?
Please refer to the package that you have chosen.
We will do our best to support you with marketing your workshop by listings in the shop, talking about it, sharing photos and videos on our social media channels and in the shop but please be aware it is your business and responsibility to fill your workshop.
What content do I need to list and promote my workshop?
As much as possible!
Once we have received a confirmed booking from you, we will arrange a time that is mutually convenient for you to pop into the shop for one of the workshop team to photograph and video you at work/making, your tools etc.
If it is not possible for you to pop in i.e. that you live too far away, we will ask you to send some samples in the post that we can photograph.
You will need a minimum of 8-10 good quality images and various video clips to promote your event.
The uptake is slower than I'd like, What should I do?
We are committed to helping promote your workshop and want it to be a huge success. However, the primary responsibility for promotion lies with you.
We have found that the most effective strategy includes an initial push on your main social media channels, followed by a steady drip-feed of content leading up to your workshop. Using Instagram Stories with video content in the week before the event is particularly effective. We will also promote workshops generally, and we will specifically mention your workshop on Instagram. Tag us @workshopnumber29, and we will gladly share your stories.
Based on our experience, we recommend the following schedule:
- Instagram Posts: 1-2 times a week
- Instagram Stories: 3-5 times a week, including a mix of photos and videos
