Promoting events like live music shows or concerts should follow a well-thought plan especially if the event is to produce a benefit or gain. It is often better to begin small and operate your course up to bigger events. The excellent promotion method is to set oneself above the rest then advertise, advertise, advertise.
Being a concert promoter or developer is a stressful task as you have to think of things related to the event like venues, ticket, talent, payments and ticket sales. Concert promoters further require excellent skills to manage creative personalities. Time, too, is of essence especially in getting publicity to the concert.
It is a test of patience and hardwork when promoting events so we have listed 5 things on how to gain publicity for your events online:
Step 1
Plan ahead as it is one way to show that the concert is one of the best through online and offline promotions. In general, promoting an event is basically advertising a business that will be available on a specific date. Spend plenty of time to promote the event. Organize and supervise contract agreement and artist appointments. Meet management offices that would best represent the artist. Read through and follow each feature of the agreement that contains the artist’s settlement, production condition, agreement additions, backstage arrangements, food, drink and other artist campaigns.
Step 2
Online ticketing also plays a crucial bearing in advertising music or concert shows. It allows you to gather advance payments of the event. However, this is not an assurance that the people who bought the ticket will show up. Be prepared though by reserving a venue or a concert hall that would hold the number of people who bought the online tickets plus the people who directly bought it. Study or examine the area where your artist or talent will attract the public more.
Step 3
Register ahead of the reserved date to permit plenty of preparations and advertising. A concert advertising company advises to start promoting, preparing ticket sales and printing 14 weeks ahead of the said date.
