Which Eventfinda advertising tools do you use?

We have always had the best result with direct marketing messages to the Eventfinda database.

Liberty Stage has used Eventfinda for Advertising for over a decade, Williams recalled, 

“We’ve used Eventfinda for over 12 years. It’s another avenue to get our product out there and to reach our audience differently.” 

Eventfinda’s unique reach was a key driver for their team to invest in advertising spend, 

“We looked at how many people we could reach and how engaged they were plus the nationwide coverage that Eventfinda could offer. I could also see that we would be the right fit by seeing the other events that were advertised on the site.” 

“For every new tour I commit a similar budget for Eventfinda as historically we’ve got good results. We generally buy a Newsletter Superfeature or something in the weekly newsletter. Sometimes we have done category takeovers in tandem with the superfeature which works well for us. 

Over many years I’ve found Eventfinda to be really worthwhile and often delivering better results than from some of our other marketing channels,” said Williams. 

Eventfinda’s personal touch to advertising planning helps support Liberty Stage and its goals and matches their working style, 

“They’re always asking us what we want and offering various advertising options so we always know what’s available to us. We have always had the best result with direct marketing messages to the Eventfinda database.”

And, maintaining relationships has helped build on their success, 

“I’ve known the account managers I've worked with for several years and it's always been an excellent relationship. Whatever we need gets done very quickly and the team is very responsive and helpful.” 

Is Eventfinda Advertising value for money?

Williams' satisfaction with Eventinda goes beyond the numbers, 

“Yes, I do think it’s it's good value. On top of that, I think that our account managers' service is excellent and we always get a good response. Trends are changing so we need to know that a company is data-smart on how to reach people. 

They’re a really good team to work with and I know they will be receptive to feedback and let us know what will work. They’re always willing to help and always there to go over or discuss anything.” 

Did the advertising results meet your expectations?

Thanks to our great results we would definitely recommend Eventfinda... it is an essential event promotion channel for us.

The Liberty Stage team know what they want from their marketing spend and they spread across multiple channels. Williams said, 

“Ideally we want to see a return on investment of about three times the amount spent. That has been delivered from Eventfinda more often than not. 

“Creating regional targeting ads and emails makes perfect sense and delivers the ticket sales as a result but we don’t want to be too segmented as we want a broad audience so we don’t miss anyone out.” 

The success of their advertising with Eventfinda has always been easy to track, 

“We receive the report from Eventfinda and reporting from our ticketing agents so we know how many bookings are coming after the advertising activity has launched. Sometimes we do direct URLs set up so we know exactly if the Eventfinda activity has generated sales but mostly we can correlate when the ads are going live as we always expect to see a big bump in ticket sales,” said Williams.

“Eventfinda has a great team of people who know their stuff and know the industry well. They know their product really well in terms of what they can offer and are just a great team to work with. They turn around things quickly and will do what they can to get the best response.

We list and market our events on Eventfinda because when people search for a show the Eventfinda info page will come up. Also if they are looking at the Eventfinda site we want to be there amongst all the other nationwide events. As promoters, it just makes sense to have visibility on their platform. 

“Thanks to our great results we would definitely recommend Eventfinda and in this challenging climate, you have to make sure you’re covering as many different channels as possible. Eventfinda is an essential event promotion channel for us,” concluded Williams.
