Is your Event Business Losing Money from Eventbrite Fees?

Tuesday, February 7th, 2017

Let me tell you a story about a small town quilting company that’s losing over $21,000 from Eventbrite fees and charges, annually.

Is your Event Business Losing Money from Eventbrite Fees?

Starting as a Small Family Business

Modern Quilt Company (not the real name), and we’ll call it MQC for short…started out about ten years ago as a small family business in a small rural town. Employment was scarce in that small town, and local enterprise abandoned the city many years ago. Buildings were left abandoned, and the local infrastructure was crumbling, while many of the residents had to travel long distances to work, or eventually left the area altogether to find employment elsewhere.

Learn how to create a Quilt Retreat Booking website. Quilting, not your thing? Create your own event planning business.

The founder of MQC’s father, Greg, commuted an hour and a half to work each way as a mechanic at the local newspaper. He worked long hours and many night shifts to support his wife (Shauna) and his seven children. In 2008, when he lost a hefty portion of his retirement savings in the market crash and at a time when the newspaper industry was laying off people every month, his son’s James and Sammy concocted an idea to start a business that could help their parents towards retirement.

A Guide to Event Marketing on Pinterest

Tuesday, January 31st, 2017

Pinterest isn’t just another time-killing-app. Pinterest is leading the way in event marketing.

Event Marketing with Pinterest (1)

According to an article, I found, Pinterest pins are 100 times more spreadable than a tweet, with the retweet average hitting only 1.4%. And, as for Facebook, the half-life of a pin is 1,680x longer than a Facebook post. I soon came to realize that Pinterest is a great tool for any event businesses, in particular for promoting upcoming and past events. (more…)
