For many, the adrenaline of a music festival is unmatched. It feels like you can recharge during a weekend spent enjoying live music with friends. However, the same isn’t exactly true for our phones. They’re quickly drained from constant use, snapping photos, searching for set times, and making mobile payments.

This summer, lots of festivals are back in full swing, like Firefly, Electric Zoo, and Moonrise. Power Up’s cell phone charging stations are a perfect solution for festivals and outdoor events like these. Simply set up a portable charging unit so music fans and event staff alike can recharge their devices during the festival. 

Our Charging Table can charge 20+ phones, tablets, or other devices at once. It’s perfect for busy areas, like concession stands, green rooms, and campgrounds. If you’re looking to create a larger charging area, our Charging Trailer is a great pick. These full-sized trailers can charge 60+ cell phones at once. You can even add custom branding and media along with your festival logo.

5 Benefits of Charging for Festivals

Festivals can benefit from cell phone charging in many ways, including:

1. Keep ticketing and entry running smoothly

As more events switch to digital tickets, attendees will need to have a charged device to get into the festival. Avoid the hassles and hold-ups that dead phone batteries can cause at festival entry points––set up a charging station.

2. Enhance guest experience

No one wants to spend time during the festival stressing about their phone battery. With phone charging stations at your event, guests can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’ll never have to deal with a dead phone. It’s a great way to go the extra mile and increase attendee satisfaction.

3. Support event safety

Cell phones are for more than just taking videos or scrolling social media. It’s important for festival-goers to have access to a charged phone to stay in contact with their groups, get notified about any event updates, and more.

4. Promote digital payments

Cashless concessions and merch tables are increasingly popular. Not only do they help keep contact to a minimum to prevent the spread of COVID, but they also make transactions quick and keep lines short. Having cell phone charging available encourages attendees to take advantage of digital payments.

5. Offer as an amenity for VIP sections
   Cell phone charging stations are also a great perk for VIP sections or ticket upgrades. You can give special guests the opportunity to recharge their phones and enjoy a moment to relax between sets.

As the world adapts to the pandemic, there has been a rise in touch-free solutions to reduce the spread of germs and prevent the spread of COVID. The goal is to minimize the need to touch shared (and potentially germ-hosting) surfaces, such as card reader keypads. From touchless mobile payments to non-touch paper towel dispensers, it seems that the future of technology is contactless. 

Wireless Charging is a Contactless Solution

Wireless charging brings this advancement to the mobile charging world. It eliminates the need for cables; instead, power is passed right through the device instead of a cable and port. Qi wireless charging—the technology used in our Wireless Charging Tables—transmits power through electromagnetic waves that your device can then convert into energy. If your business is looking to enhance COVID safety measures and help keep customers and employees alike safer and happier, a wireless charging unit is a great solution.

Wireless charging is extremely convenient and easy to use: simply place a wireless compatible device on the charging location and it will charge automatically. It saves time, money, and headache: no need to worry about whether you have the correct charger for your device and no more misplaced or damaged cables. It can also help keep devices in better condition as it prevents damaged ports, overheating, and can help extend battery life. 

Power Up Wireless Charging Tables

Ready to wield the power of wireless charging for your business? Power Up’s Wireless Charging Tables are a fantastic choice. Each table has up to 3 wireless charging locations, as well as additional cable-connected charging spaces. With a tempered glass top, sleek design, and custom branding opportunities, they add both function and style to your space.

It’s also a smart option if you want to test out a charging unit and see the countless benefits for yourself before you invest in a purchase.
