Many thanks to @Ceraph1216 for arranging this event for us again this year, and for volunteering the day with me. This was a small event and was very short, but was a bit of a hike with some big highway tolls. Our final results for the 6 hour event were 10 unique new Extra-Life sign-ups! Since we were very close to Delaware, which is Philadelphia territory, we did have several individuals who chose to donate to their local hospital, but we still had quite a few for our local hospital, Johns Hopkins Children's Center. We had approximately 1.7 sign-ups per hour for each hour our table/booth was open at the event. Since on average each sign up results in $100 raised, we can approximate that our efforts this weekend raised $1000 for Extra Life, approximately $800 of which was for our local hospital. The best practice for events, as published in the Guild Handbook, is to seek events that would average 10 sign-ups per hour. I really needed to go and "dust off" my skills so I was glad to have participated, but in the future unless this event changes drastically, I believe we shouldn't allocate more than one volunteer for the day. It is only a 6 hour event plus setup and tear down. Strategies used for this con: video loop of CMN Miracle Stories raffle for sign-ups tablet sign-ups on wi-fi live artist demo loose giveaways (no win/participation needed) Positives: plenty of space targeted audience convenient parking and setup power and wi-fi Opportunites: overall foot traffic - location change from main area to gaming hall many visitors to the table took candy but did not engage @Ceraph1216, would love any feedback you have to add!
