Bands, this is for you. I see many ways to improve upon the information in the event. Here are some tips on how to create a Facebook Event that will tell everyone exactly what they need to know and get them to your show!
As someone who does a great amount of marketing and promotions in the music scene, I'm covering shows around town several times a week. Instagram is widely popular with bands, venues, photographers, and other media (like myself with KWSS radio).
There is great value and exposure for bands that promote events on social media, specifically Facebook. You have the potential to reach several hundred or even thousands of users if you plan correctly.
There are no excuses- with social media and all the tricks (hashtags, live video, geo-filters, check-ins, etc.), your event should practically be a trending topic in your area. You should be embracing #FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) to the fullest. Here's how.

I love music. Honestly, can anyone say they do not? Sure, we can have genres we dislike, and some we will tolerate, but music as a whole? Show me someone who doesn’t like it.

Needless to say it was a perfect fit when I discovered KWSS and started broadcasting during the middays, and of course hosting Dani’s Diner retro hour. I have about 1000 reasons I love being part of my KWSS family and have been with them for almost nine years, here are three.
I understand where a business is coming from. The goal of a business is to sell a product. Every move it makes, every step it takes (h/t The Police) is calculated and designed to reach that goal of making the sale.
