• Great team support from Butlin’s• Mobile bar (Bar Rosso) – when not in use for warm-up event,
this was redundant – can we use as a cash bar instead?• Cocktail Demos – would have worked better on Friday night or
Saturday day, guests were asking if they could buy drinks there & didn’t have time to spend interacting before the concert
• Take home photos – worked very well with a big queue waiting!
• Prize draw – worked well, we had 57 entrants in 60 minutes! We should expand this & offer entry to this prize draw throughout the weekend, also adding a Malibu hamper to it
• Branding – looked great in Bar Rosso but was dwarfed in Centre Stage & Reds, need much more of a presence there – look at increasing this
FEEDBACK
• Back bar display – team were on board with creating these although tricky due to no dummy bottles available, only Optics – should still go for it though
• Menu cards created by Butlin’s – fantastic visibility for drinks & pricing, definitely include as many of these as possible moving forwards!
• Promotional staff – great, bubbly staff – effective at approaching people & communicating the messages of warm-up event & drinks offers. Rethink timings & no. of staff to best utilise time
• Drinks – popular. Consider adding the Malibu & Cranberry pitcher as a sharing serve option (this was advertised on some of the bar runners & people were asking for it)
• Other – many other opportunities for Malibu to get involved with other aspects of the weekends should there be any future events to get involved with
