Production Show Shirts, Dues, and More!
The show has been cast, you’ve had your first read-thru, you’ve started blocking… now the work begins. Blocking alone is time consuming, but you have so many more tasks to do and it feels like there is never enough time in the day to complete them. Let your Hometown Box Office do some of the production organization heavy lifting for you! Did you know that you can utilize your Box Office to: Collect t-shirt sales for the cast and crew? Manage all of your orders in one place by sending out a link to your cast and crew for them to order t-shirts through a private event*. You’ll get real-time reporting, the money will go directly to the school, and you do not have to worry about collecting info or cash by hand. Plus, you still get to work with your school-approved vendor. Collect thespian or production dues? Similar to collecting t-shirt information, you’ll send out a link to your cast and crew for them to pay their dues through the private event* feature. You’ll have access real-time reporting to see who has and hasn’t paid, the money goes directly to the school, and you do not have to worry about collecting cash by hand. Sell program ads? When you create an event to sell ads for your program, you can ask for custom information* at checkout. For example, you can collect how they would like their name to appear or what their shoutout message should say. After checkout is complete, all of this information is available to be exported so you can simply copy and paste it into your program. Wondering how to make it happen? Reach out to your Client Success Manager to learn how to set this up. Not a HomeTown school, but would like more information?

Strike Up The Band
Strike Up The Band – For Battle! Drum roll please…it is time for the annual Battle of the Bands competitions to happen throughout the United States. As you start to prepare for your show and the competition(s) that you might be participating in, we wanted to highlight a few things on how HomeTown can help make planning and organizing this year’s competition easier than ever before. Tickets You can streamline all ticket purchases online so that every school participating can encourage their parents to purchase tickets in advance. You also can sell tickets at the gate the day of the competition. By creating multiple ticket levels, you could have a ticket level dedicated to each participating program and then with our reporting, you can share with each school how many tickets were sold for their program. Band Merch Have some awesome band merchandise that your band and band parents will love? Stay organized with these sales by sending out a link to your families for them to order their gear through a private event* set up in your box office. You then get real-time reporting, the money will go directly to the school and you do not have to worry about collecting info or cash. Plus, you still get to work with your school-approved vendor. Concessions* Do you sell concessions to raise more money for your program? The HomeTown platform allows you to sell concessions through our point of sale system. This allows you to take credit card payments or cash as well as have real-time reporting to know exactly how much you sold at the end of the day. Plus, the school can receive a direct payment for those funds. Feel free to reach out to your dedicated Client Success Manager to learn more on how to set this up.
