Digitalization has become an essential component for event management and promotion, and the new website of the III Meeting of Ancestral Wine Producers of Catalonia is a prime example of how digital tools can transform any event, making it more accessible, attractive, and efficient in its organization.
Promotion and Audience Engagement
Through innovative digital marketing strategies, an effective website, and advanced management tools, event organizers can reach a broader audience, facilitating participation and maintaining interest to ensure the success of their events. Digitalization allows for not only optimized promotion and communication, but also the automation of many time-consuming tasks, such as participant registration and invitation handling. This time-saving enables organizers to focus on more strategic and creative aspects, improving the overall quality and impact of the event.
Likewise, providing easy access to information, ticket purchases, and seat reservations fosters greater engagement and offers a more convenient experience for attendees. Participants arrive better informed, avoiding unnecessary travel to buy tickets, long registration lines on the day of the event, or being turned away from a sold-out event. The comfort and convenience offered by digitalization contribute to a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
Efficient Participation Management
A notable example of this digital event trend is the website of Vins Ancestrals, developed by Dommia, a web design studio specializing in websites for trade fairs. It serves as a communication and management platform for both visitors and exhibitors of the III Meeting of Ancestral Wine Producers of Catalonia, taking place on July 7 at Castell d'Olèrdola, near Barcelona.
This website acts as a gateway to the event, providing details about the meeting, relevant information on ancestral sparkling wine, and showcasing the highlights of the event, where ancestral wine producers will present their work and most exclusive sparkling wines to the public.
Digital Tools for Event Organization
Digitalization offers significant advantages for efficiently managing both attendee and exhibitor engagement in fairs and showcases like the III Meeting of Ancestral Wine Producers of Catalonia.
This requires a professional, well-developed, and well-structured website with advanced features that facilitate participation. For instance, the ancestral wine fair website at Castell d’Olèrdola provides ancestral sparkling wine producers in Catalonia with a virtual technical office to manage their participation online.
These types of digital tools eliminate the need for in-person procedures, speeding up the registration process and improving communication between organizers and participants. On www.ancestrals.cat, any ancestral sparkling wine producer or natural wine winery can complete their participation form from a computer or mobile device, avoiding the need for physical meetings or travel. Additionally, the platform is available 24/7, offering participants full flexibility to manage their involvement in the natural wine fair at their convenience.
Digital Marketing to Foster Engagement and Interaction
Digital marketing tools are also crucial for attracting audiences and managing visitors. They help increase the visibility of events, generate interest among the target audience, and promote active participation.
Moreover, digital marketing tools allow organizers to track and evaluate the performance of their campaigns in real time, providing valuable data on metrics such as website traffic and registration conversions. This gives them the ability to adjust strategies on the fly based on current results. Additionally, these tools enhance interaction and engagement with the audience.
With this goal in mind, the organizers of the III Meeting of Ancestral Wine Producers have included an online scratch-and-win game on their website. This feature not only captures audience attention with the chance to win tickets to the natural wine fair on July 7 at Castell d’Olèrdola, but also helps organizers grow their contact database for future promotional campaigns, event updates, and personalized experiences in future editions of the event, where applicable.
Advanced Technologies for Digital Registration and Access Control
In terms of ticketing and public access, event digitalization also allows for more effective solutions than traditional physical sales or manual ticket checks. This includes online accreditation modules with digital registration and access control systems. These systems use technologies like QR codes, NFC (near-field communication), or biometrics to verify attendees' identities in real time, reducing fraud risk and improving access control. Moreover, accreditation modules like the one implemented on the III Meeting’s website enable detailed tracking of online ticket sales and attendance, making event management more agile and responsive.
