Meet Becky, Founder of Legs Body Finish – the wine club with a full-bodied difference

Legs Body Finish is a wine tasting events business with a big difference. Several differences actually – the most refreshing of which has to be its dedication to lightheartedness and fun over cliched snobbery. (Note the opening line on its ‘about’ web page: “We love wine… the taste and the effects.”

Then there are the club’s wine tasting events for mums and dads – called Champers & Pampers, naturally – which have us raising our arms to the sky asking how on earth no one has thought of this before. Genius. 

There’s a Sip & Savour Supper Club too, which sumptuously combines thought-provoking food with equally as impressive wine. 

There’s nothing not to love about Legs, Body Finish, so we’re sure you’ll enjoy reading what founder Becky Jackson has to say in this event creator spotlight👇.

Event spotlight: 5 empowering events we’re celebrating this International Women’s Day 

As International Women’s Day (IWD) comes around each year, we find ourselves getting seriously inspired by the incredible events popping up on our platform here at Ticket Tailor.

“Together we can forge women’s equality,” promises the IWD website, and we believe it’s events like these👇 that well and truly give this statement legs. From the dimly-lit story reading evenings that celebrate women writers, through to the tequila-fuelled dance nights and eye-opening panel discussions; these female-focused happenings really do come in all shapes and sizes. 

Of course, they all have one thing in common: a steadfast commitment to celebrating the dazzling, no-holds-barred brilliance of women. And through it, each event – no matter how big or small – takes us one step closer to a more gender equal world. That’s pretty powerful stuff, we’d say.
So, without further ado, here are five brilliant events we’re celebrating this International Women’s Day. We hope you find them as inspiring as we do… who knows, maybe this time next year you could be seeing your own event featured on the list!

B Corp Month 2023: Three B2B tech companies explain how they “Go Beyond”

B Corp Month 2023: Three B2B tech companies explain how they “Go Beyond”

Every year, the B Corp movement runs B Corp Month, providing a chance to raise awareness, and shine a spotlight on the businesses trailblazing new paths towards a fairer future for our people and planet. 

This year, the B Corp Month theme is ‘We Go Beyond’. And we want to be the voice for B2B companies, to show that the B Corp symbol isn’t just for consumer brands (think: Patagonia, Ben and Jerry’s, and Body Shop!). Given the global B2B market value is over 5 times larger than B2C, our sphere of influence could be much greater. 

So we’ve partnered up with some of our fellow B Corp certified B2B tech businesses to help demonstrate that, in fact, B2B companies can, and should, make an impact. In this blog, we hope to assure other businesses like ours that you definitely don’t need to be a consumer brand to join the B Corp movement.

Tips for (sensitively) increasing your ticket prices in the face of the cost of living crisis 

Tips for (sensitively) increasing your ticket prices in the face of the cost of living crisis 

The cost of living crisis has hit both businesses and individuals hard. As an event organiser, this has potentially left you in a tricky position. How do you cope with higher running costs, when you’re all too aware that your customers are struggling too? 

The fact is, a lot of event organisers will need to increase their ticket prices to cope with the rising cost of… well, pretty much everything (travel, energy bills, materials, suppliers… we feel your pain!). 

The key, then, is to raise prices sensitively, in a way that won’t damage your brand or alienate customers. Fostering a sense of ‘we’re in this together’ can go a long way here. As can focusing on more practical factors, like being super diligent when it comes to deciding exactly how much to increase ticket prices by. 

Let’s take a closer look 👀👇.
