Lack Of Events

[despect]

I do agree 4/5 events a week would maybe be too much with school going on etc but at the same time if you were to raise the minimums at certain times of the year this could possibly work. Although keeping in mind Non-GMT people don't always get holidays at the same time as GMT people. So half term times where you could raise the minimums would be hard for Non-GMT people.

No I mean moving it up to 4 constantly. Like I say, if Nick can manage ten events a week and think that that's not enough, people should be able to do four. Plus, four events a day should still be fine with school as if you do one each night after school, you're already on five.

I just think it would vastly increase the amount of events being hosted, whereas introducing guest hosts would add three-four events a week maximum.

I think perhaps increasing it could work then, i'm sure giving it a try would be beneficial for the events department. I think anything is worth a try .

This pls. If it doesn't work out, just put it back to normal.

At the moment, department managers are being slated for not trying things. Even if something goes wrong, we can't say managers aren't trying to put things right.

I think as managers you have to take feedback on board, like you said if it doesn't work out then put it back to normal.

Hayden is now away for a week so anything new won't be implemented into the department until the New Year. But now that you have both suggested two possible ways to improve the department, we shall see.

This thread is feedback! Lack of events? Try raising the minimum. I suppose events could try raising the minimum and introducing guest hosts at the same time. Or giving them both a trial period and seeing which one works better.

Kicking up minimums does not solve fundamental problems within a department and simply is a sign of desperation. I agree 3 is good, but 4 is too much. There are other things that can be done such as going on client and promoting it, as well as going around event rooms and asking people whether they would be interested in hosting for Habbox etc. You could also make a type of 'super event' that would really push the name out there- i.e. an event on a much bigger scale.

Thats the thing though, you can get lots of people applying however, whos to say they won't work hard during their trial and slowly do less and less, there's only a few that are going over their minimums and tbh there needs to be more people doing that. Which is why i think giving something for the events staff to work towards like points/getting points for doing certain things. I dunno if events have a prize system, perhaps that could be re-vamped slightly so the events staff have something to actually work that bit harder.

EDIT: perhaps events could have like a requirement fair or something going on? like on habbo. Make an events room and advertise events applications and getting Habbox events out there a bit more?

There are quite a few people who do try to pull everyones weight, like Shoned and Dragga has as well since he came back. They're both hosting a lot. And I know Cassie does (when she's not booked away), and this has good and bad qualities to it really. Good because it gets more events on the board, but bad because other people think, oh they'll just host I'll just do my mins and thats it'.

I think the main problem we have (coming from someone in the department) is that we're just not motivated enough. I know hayden is booked away at the moment but there are definitely things that need doing to motivate people.

Exactly, which is why i said there should be some sort of reward system for events staff to work for.
