Emailing your Gig Listing

Once the system has collected (hopefully several thousand) email addresses it is then possible to email users the gig listing. You can do this manually or get the system to automatically email it for you every specified number of days. You can use the page below to email manually.

You can email all users or managers of the website or you can select a specific user to email the gig list to.

If you want to send a one off email, perhaps for a drinks promotion, Christmas party or BBQ then you can also do this from another page.

This email collection system is distinctly different to simply collecting email addresses by hand and entering them into an email group in perhaps Microsoft Outlook. This emailing list is self-maintaining. You may send an email to 2000 people on one day, go on holiday for two weeks, come back and the next email you send may go to 2500 people.

However, it should be noted how successful this will be will largely be down to how effectively you use conventional marketing techniques and an email chain letter to publicise the website.

So what will the recipients of the email see? They get an attractive HTML email like the one below (providing their email software supports it). Note that the email will be personally addressed to them as in 'Dear Mark'.

It should be noted we do not regard this as spamming people. They agree to receive the gig listing emails as they create a login to enter the competition. And on the face of it you are providing them with a service by making it convenient for them to find out what forthcoming gigs are happening at your venue.
