Maximizing Engagement with Pre-Event Surveys

I’ve recently started using pre-event surveys to gauge audience preferences, and it’s been a game changer! Not only do they help with tailoring the lineup, but they also increase engagement as attendees feel their input matters. Has anyone else tried this approach?

I totally get what you’re saying about pre-event surveys! They can really help people feel involved, but I’ve found that if the questions are too generic, it drives me nuts. Instead, I try to ask specific questions about genres or artists to get real input, like ‘What’s one band you’re dying to see?’ What kind of questions are you using?
