Reduce physical contact points onsite

Ushers no longer need to physically hand programs to patrons. InsideGuide presents all of the elements of a traditional program and more in an interactive, mobile-first format.

InsideGuide has been a fantastic solution to our program needs. Not only has it ensured a safe, contactless option to deliver our typical playbill content as we returned to live performances since the start of the pandemic, but the digital format allows for more dynamic content such as GIFs, video, and website links. It affords us the flexibility to update content as needed without the hassle of missing printer deadlines or added expense. Kudos to InstantEncore in developing an affordable, viable solution for arts organizations!

InsideGuide has not only reduced both cost and waste, it has also been a benefit to patrons who prefer larger type sizes. From a data perspective, we can use Google Analytics to track interactions with the program, which is new information that will help us to make data-based decisions.

Generate ad revenue

Sell ad spaces in your digital programs to connect companies with your patrons. Provide multiple ad size options. Upsell ads by allowing animated images.

69% of InsideGuide clients charge the same for digital ads as they would for print ads.

We are still exploring how digital programs work best with our audiences and our sponsors. We appreciate the multimedia and ad options available and are hoping to take better advantage of those in future!

Take audiences behind the scenes and beyond the stage

Expand your program book beyond the printed page. Add audio and video content. Link your program to online resources. Encourage patrons to follow artists on social media. 

93% of InsideGuide clients included content in their digital program books that they could not include in printed programs.

Perhaps the most novel part for me is coming up with unusual and unexpected content to feature or link to. So far, we’ve incorporated reviews, production and backstage notes, even Q&A’s with performers.
— Ray Solley, Executive Director, Tower Theatre Foundation

Highlight sponsors and donors

Adopting InsideGuide to power our digital programs has allowed us to recognize sponsors more effectively, incorporate much more engaging content for patrons, emphasize important details for performers and rethink and optimize our workflow with every performance.
