Putting on a Nutcracker performance is a magical undertaking, but comes with a whirlwind of tasks to manage. From coordinating volunteers to selling Nutcracker merchandise, it can feel like you’re juggling sugar plums! But don’t worry — there are ways to simplify the process so you can focus on bringing the holiday magic to life.
Cheddar Up makes it a breeze to handle all the moving parts, from ticket sales to organizing concessions. Let’s break down how you can use it to pull off your best Nutcracker performance yet.
Managing your Nutcracker merchandise and ticket sales
Boost the buzz with pre-show Nutcracker merchandise and sales
Selling Nutcracker merchandise like performance shirts, sweatshirts, videos, and photos is a great way to get funds coming in even before the curtain is lifted. With Cheddar Up, you can easily set up an online store to sell all of your performance merch. Everything is tracked in one place, making it simple for your audience to purchase their items before, during, or after the show.
Looking for more ways to raise funds before the show?
Sell tickets with ease
Ticket sales can be chaotic, but Cheddar Up makes it simple. Set up a beautiful, branded page where attendees can buy QR-code tickets to your Nutcracker performance. Offer multiple ticket types, such as VIP seating, family packages, or discounted rates for kids and seniors.
Incorporate a festive fundraiser with Nutcracker merchandise & gifts
Every performance of The Nutcracker calls for themed merchandise — think adorable nutcracker figurines, custom ornaments, and holiday t-shirts. These items enhance the experience and act as great fundraisers to support your production.
Having an online Nutcracker merchandise shop allows your audience to grab gifts ahead of time and avoid lines at the event. And if you plan on selling last-minute goodies at the venue, you can still manage transactions digitally. No cash box drama here!
Organize concessions like a pro
Holiday treats are a must-have at Nutcracker performances, whether it’s hot cocoa, cookies, or other seasonal snacks. To avoid long lines and last-minute rushes, you can offer pre-order or in person concessions through Cheddar Up. Attendees can reserve their snacks along with their tickets, ensuring a smooth and organized process when the day arrives.
Easily coordinate volunteers
It takes a village to pull off a production like The Nutcracker, and organizing volunteers can be overwhelming. Cheddar Up allows you to manage volunteer sign-ups and shift assignments in one central place. You can create specific roles (like selling Nutcracker merchandise, handing out programs, or manning the ticket booth) and set time slots for shifts. Volunteers can sign up online, making it easier for you to avoid any confusion on the day of the show.
Plus, you can use built-in messaging tools to send reminders and updates to your volunteer team. This ensures everyone is on the same page without multiple email threads or last-minute panic.
Putting on The Nutcracker can feel like a grand ballet behind the scenes, but with Cheddar Up you can simplify the process. From selling Nutcracker merchandise to managing ticket sales, coordinating volunteers, and handling concessions, everything is under control. You’ll spend less time managing logistics and more time enjoying the magic of your production.
