📢 Event Trends & Insights 📢

Tips & Data for Better Hosting

• Trending Now:

  • "Try-It-Together" Experiences: People love experiences that help them break into something new without the intimidation factor. Think beginner-friendly tennis clinics, pottery nights or pickleball socials - things they’ve been curious about but hesitant to try alone.

  • Playfulness & Joy Over Productivity: Less about "fixing" and more about feeling good. Events centered around lighthearted movement (playful yoga flows, dancing), nostalgic activities (board games, adult recess), or just hanging out (structured but low-key social nights) are thriving.

  • Sensory Wellness: Events that engage the senses in creative ways (sound healing with art-making, scent-based meditations, herbal tea making workshops) are popping up everywhere, giving people new ways to drop into presence.

• Tip of the Week

  • The "Two-Thirds Rule" for Better Event Attendance: When planning your next event, aim to make two-thirds of it feel familiar and comfortable and one-third feel like a stretch or something new. People love novelty, but they also crave a sense of ease and belonging. Whether it's introducing a new activity within a familiar format (like adding live music to a guided meditation) or hosting in a well-known space but with an unexpected twist (like a breathwork session in a record store), this balance helps attendees feel excited and at ease.

Your questions, answered

❓Q: Can I feature my event on Bloomy even if it’s not in LA, NYC, SD, SF, or PHX/Scottsdale?

✅ A: Short answer—YES! While we currently have city guides for those five cities, you can feature your event on Bloomy no matter where it takes place. And here’s the fun part: once your city reaches 10+ events per week, it unlocks its own city guide! 🚀😜
