How  Do  I  Promote  a  Concert  or  Show?  

 

   2  

   When  you're  preparing  for  a  show  or  a  concert,  you  probably  hope  to  sell  a  lot  of  tickets.   So,   you  must   promote   your   event,   because  what   you   sell   through   your  contacts   will   not   be   enough.   Don't   hesitate   to   mention   your   event  enthusiastically   to   friends.   People   will   spread   the   word   when   they   get   the  opportunity!    Several  methods  of  promoting  a  concert  or  a  show  can  be  combined,  so  that  you  will  be  as  visible  as  possible  on  the  net  and  reach  most  of  your  market.      You  must,   first  and  foremost,  have  a  presence  on  social  networks.  Since   it's   the  most  commonly  used   form  of  communication,  you  need  to  promote  your  event  there  and  interact  with  followers.      Second,   create   a   specialized   blog   and   infiltrate   communities   and   forums   to  attract  additional  participants.  A  simple,  friendly  message  to  arouse  curiosity  will  increase   the   number   of   purchases   through   your   online   ticket   service.   Don't  forget  to  include  the  link!    Take,   for   example,   a   jazz   concert.   You   can   post   the   following   message:   "Hi  everyone,  here's  a  concert   that  might   interest  you:   link."  Don't  do   too  much,  and  don't  be  too  "commercial."  That  makes  a  bad  impression.    Especially   avoid   formulas   such   as   "Hello,   we're   organizing   an   amazing   jazz  concert,  so  everybody  come!!  Buy  your  tickets  here  and  enter  our  contest.  See  you  soon!!!"      Third,  the  venue  where  you  host  your  concert  or  show  will  help  you  promote  it  by   including   you   in   its   event   calendar.   This   is   not   enough!   To   attract   the  maximum   number   of   participants,   team   Ticketlib   recommends   that   you   to  organize   contests  where   the  winner   receives   a   limited   number   of   tickets.   This  will  allow  you  to  discuss  your  event  and  attract  additional  participants.    Fourth,  specifically  for  concerts,  you  can  promote  your  event  in  cafes  or  bars  by  playing  excerpts  to  attract  fans.  To  promote  shows,  you  can  target  shows  similar  to  yours  and  engage  attendees  as  they  leave  by  passing  out  flyers.      When  promoting  your  event,  it's  best  to  begin  preparations  well  in  advance.
