This guide helps music store owners collect feedback after events and workshops to understand what attendees enjoyed and what could be improved. Using this feedback strengthens future events, builds community, and encourages repeat attendance.
Step 1: Ask for Feedback
What to Do: Find out what attendees thought about the event.
How to Set It Up:
- Digital Forms: Send a link to an online feedback form after the event.
- Printed Questionnaires: Hand out short surveys at the event for people to fill out before they leave.
- Simple Questions: Ask about the timing, the topics, and how helpful or fun the event was.
Why It Works: When you ask for feedback, people feel heard, and you get ideas to make the next event even better.
Step 2: Look at the Feedback
What to Do: Go through the answers you get.
How to Set It Up:
- Sort It Out: Group feedback into categories like organization, content, or promotion.
- Spot Patterns: Look for things many people mention, like wanting different topics or better start times.
Why It Works: Understanding what worked and what didn’t helps you plan better events in the future.
Step 3: Make Improvements
What to Do: Use the feedback to plan your next event.
How to Set It Up:
- Adjust Timing: If people say the event was too early or too late, change the start time.
- Pick Popular Topics: Use feedback to choose topics or activities that more people want.
- Promote Better: If attendees say they didn’t know about the event early enough, start advertising sooner.
Why It Works: Making changes based on feedback helps your events get better and keeps people coming back.
Example: Feedback in Action
The Scenario: “Crescendo Music Store” held a guitar workshop and wanted to improve future events.
What They Did:
- Sent an online feedback form to all attendees.
- Learned that people wanted a longer Q&A session and earlier start times.
- Added more Q&A time and moved the next workshop to 5 PM instead of 7 PM.
The Results: More people attended the next workshop, and they stayed longer to ask questions. Attendees praised the changes.
Next Steps
How to Start:
- Ask Questions: Create a short survey to ask about timing, topics, and how people felt about the event.
- Pay Attention: Look for common suggestions or complaints in the feedback.
- Take Action: Adjust future events to match what attendees want.
By collecting feedback and making changes, your events will be more enjoyable and bring more people into your store!
