Now that Summer is here, it makes sense venue operators are thinking about how to keep their event goers safe, sane, and secure. To move business forward in these challenging times, venue owners, operators, and managers asking why your patrons trust or mistrust your space will bring a truckload of questions to mind that need answering.
The short answer from the CDC on gatherings large and small is: avoid large gatherings and events when possible. That’s sensible with Covid variants lurking about. Nevertheless, in the U.S., we’re also now seeing consumer confidence returning to bloom for many consumer-facing businesses.
As a venue operator, you might be thinking about the strength and maintenance of consumer trust in the spaces you look after. With this in mind, we scrolled the CDC website for details on gatherings and events.
After spinning the mouse wheel a surprising twelve times before getting to the end of advice on attending and holding events large and small, it became immediately apparent just how many turnstiles there are between hazard, safety, and earning consumer trust. Just look at all those potential points of concern from Ticketing to Service to Security.
Okay, so it may be daunting to think of the responsibility that travels with running a single venue, much less several of them in multiple locations.
If you haven’t already seen this information, here is but one among many bulleted lists from the CDC‘s May 20th advisory laying down risk factors worth considering for this event season.
Now, take a minute to describe the safety culture of your spaces heading into your next event, and then ask yourself, does it positively ensure the safest, most satisfying outcome for everyone in your event space?
