Each of your events featured on the Big Big SLO online calendar. We will curate each listing for accuracy and impact.
Dedicated event slideshow for your venue prominently displayed at the top of the Big Big SLO calendar, highlighting your upcoming events.
Your venue added to the main menu link on the Big Big SLO website
Weekly Event Features: Choose one event to be featured EVERY week:
NEW: Big Big SLO Weekly Email Newsletter! Starting out with 2,500 subscribers, we will be actively growing the list. Each edition will go out on Thursdays and feature top events for the upcoming weekend and beyond.
Social Media Posts: Tell us which event you’d like to promote for each week (and give us some content for the posts), and we’ll post about it on our social channels:
Facebook: 8,100 Followers
Instagram: 5,800 Followers
Ticket Giveaways: Whether you’re looking to gain more visibility for your event or if you need to get some more bodies in the room, we can help:
Ticket Giveaway Contest - We can use your weekly feature to promote a ticket giveaway for an event of your choosing. We’ll notify you of the winners, and give you names & email addresses of the people who opt in to your email list.
Paul’s List - We have a private Facebook group where we can discreetly give away tickets to an event. This is great for underperforming events where more bodies in the room = better experience for everyone + food & drink sales to help the bottom line.
Poster Distribution: We’ll hang 25 posters at no charge in prominent spots around SLO County. Want to do more? No sweat. $1/each & the first 25 are free. You provide the posters. Distribution starts the 1st of each month.
Ready to get to work?
For maximum impact, we are only offering this to a select handful of venues / promoters.
Reach out to Paul at 805-441-3344 or via email as soon as possible to secure your spot.
TIMELINES:
Pocket Planner: Time is tight for this, as I need it in hand for Memorial Day distribution. Space reservation ASAP, and art due by Friday, May 8. I can help with art if needed.
Summer Promo Bonanza: Get in now for May, or if you’re wanting to do the entire 4 month season. Otherwise, let me know which months you want to do and we’ll get you scheduled.
