The Challenges of Promoting Cultural Events
Many in the entertainment industry report that selling seats for shows, theaters, concerts, and stand-up shows has become increasingly difficult. Social media no longer sells as many tickets as before, and reaching a wide enough audience to ensure full venues can be a real struggle.
Media outlets offer a variety of ad formats and pricing, making it time-consuming to get an overview. For small marketing teams with limited budgets, negotiating prices, formats, and publishing periods can be especially challenging, particularly when promoting events in multiple regions or for touring shows.
We have also learnt that they prefere selfserve when they have small budgets.
Half-empty venues are disheartening for both performers and audiences. That’s why it’s essential to cast a wide net and use channels that truly resonate.
Why Online Newspapers Are Key for the Cultural Sector
Did you know that people read online newspapers several times a day? And we read both local and national publications.
Whether searching for something to do, keeping up with local news, or simply browsing, online newspapers reach a purchasing and culture-savvy audience.
To fill venues, it’s often necessary to combine online newspapers with social media. While social media can grab attention and create engagement among your followers, online newspapers ensure your message reaches a broader audience – including those who don’t follow you yet.
