"BMF Artist Takeovers" - Artists temporarily manage BMF social accounts leading up to the festival
incentivize attendees to live stream and take videos/pictures - maybe put some kind of tiered system to reward people for uploading the most high quality pictures (relatively easy to setup)
See if we can partner with vendors to reduce upfront cost in exchange for sponsorship/advertising
Still aligns with not being a corporate festival because we’re supporting local businesses
Merch preorders
Photo package pre-sales offering professional photos at scenic locations around the venue
Partner with some local photographers or something and take commission
portable charger rental
raffle/sweepstakes
Pay-It-Forward Community Tickets
Purpose
Enable fans to subsidize passes for lower-income music lovers, strengthening community ethos and unlocking donation revenues
If 4% of attendees fund one Pay-It-Forward pass, 48 vouchers generate $4,800 incremental revenue offset by equivalent extra attendance cost (meals & lodging). Even at cost parity, goodwill marketing value plus incremental merch/ beverage spend by recipients lifts net earnings 10–15% on those tickets
