Events in Wales – EventsnWales 2019

We thought we would start the new year off with a fresh blog post, to let you know about what we have planned, to help promote the events in Wales that are listed on EventsnWales in 2019.

We have looked at a range of ways to ensure that EventsnWales is able to continue to help promote your events for free. To enable us to do this, we will be continuing with co-promoting events through the fatsoma platform which you will find on our Co promoted ticketed events in Wales page, as well as affiliated advertising (varied commission rates) and also some affiliated events in which eventsnwales will receive a 1% commission of the ticket sale cost, these are events that will be listed under the eventsnwales author and will contain a disclaimer to advise that we may receive a commission on ticket sales. These events will be mainly affiliated through ticketmaster, ticketweb and ticketmaster frontgate. .

We looked at a number of options such as Adsense and other advertising avenues, but decided we wanted to try and earn the revenue needed solely through events taking place in Wales, Advertising of companies that we use or work with and also keep open the option to have Website Sponsors.

We will continue to promote all events that are listed on the website through our social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Google plus and also utilising YouTube when possible. We are also hoping to launch a monthly pdf which will contain the upcoming events for that month with links to our event pages and also i a direct link to purchase tickets if available. We will introduce a cut off time for events to be listed in advance to be included within the next months edition, which will also be downloadable.

We are always open to guest blog posts from bloggers that have been to events or are going to attend events in Wales so feel free to get in touch. The ability is also still available for members that list events with us to also put a blog out on our platform just shout for more information, we are more than willing to help.

Eventsnwales will continue to try and get events live within the quickest possible timescale, usually within 2-3 working days, (but occasionally this can take longer) at this point we would like to apologise for issues during the later end of 2018 and this caused a number of events not to be promoted, we were deciding if eventsnwales would continue. As you can see we were able to work through this period and hope to take it to new levels in 2019. We have also now started to add customised campaign links so that our members can identify if a website visitor has visited their website or ticket link through ours which we hope will help you identify the visitor numbers being referred from your listings and our website.

New Events in Wales for 2019

Already in 2019 we have seen new members such as impressive pr listing new events with the Hal Cruttenden – Chubster Tour at 4 venues in Wales as well as a number of other comedians, existing members the Princess Royal Theatre listing numerous events and continuing to support eventsnwales by using our service and also the amazing FOCUS Wales festival in Wrexham being listed again. Also up in the North we have the NWBA listing 2 great courses, so if you’re a business check them out, a great Contemporary Customer Service module and a Social Media Marketing Module (perhaps that’s one for us?). It’s great to also see our members helping to share other members events that are on our site either directly with their own followers or by sharing our posts on social media as this all helps your own events too by making more people aware of our website.

We are always happy to see both new and existing members posting events, as without you the website would not work and allow us to help you reach the wider communities within Wales and further afield.

So remember to pop over to all our social media accounts give us a Like, Follow, Share and invite others to do the same as we want to help your events reach as many people, businesses, groups and communities as we can and we look forward to seeing many more events listed in 2019.

New Ticketing Platform from EventsnWales

by EventsnWales | 29 Apr, 2016 | Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, EventsNWales, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea, Torfaen, Vale of Glamorgan, Wrexham

We are happy to announce that we have teamed up with Fatsoma to be able to help our existing members and future members be able to promote events, sell tickets and reach more people through our new ticketing platform.

By partnering with Fatsoma we are now able to promote events that are listed on our website, Co promote events and also enable members that need or would benefit from the ability to sell tickets direct through our new ticketing platform powered by Fatsoma (Flat rate 10% fee charged per ticket sale). We have already got the New EventsnWales Event & Ticketing platform set up and can be used straight away. So if you would like the ability to sell tickets even if they are Free (no fee charged either) then you can and all under the EventsnWales brand. Any events that are set up through the platform we will add to the events listed so they will still have a page listed on the main website as well as being able to be searched through the fatsoma website and app. All tickets sold through our platform will help to keep our website sustainable with EventsnWales receiving a % of the fee for all those that sign up with us.

That’s not all, for those events that are happy for us to Co-Promote your event then an amount of commission can be agreed for us to help promote your event further. With designated shout outs and marketing campaigns to help. We will always send a Co Promotion request to events listed but it is entirely up to the individual event/organisation if they would like to take this up. The event will still be listed on the main website even if we are not Co-Promoting it. Any events that are listed through the new platform that we are co promoting you will be able to locate under a new menu section Co Promoted Events.

Its an exciting time for EventsnWales as we are looking to the long term for the brand and to enable us to continue to help promote all events that are listed on both platforms and this will hopefully generate the income to enable us to keep the general membership free and also provide you will a larger spread of people visiting your own event listings. Please make sure that you sign up to receive updates of our newsletters and events to keep up to date with the latest in Wales. Make sure you pop over to the new platform and follow us so you get the regular updates and others to do so too.

We look forwarded to both existing and new members and organisations being able to use the ticketing platform and have a way of selling and monitoring ticket sales without the hassle of taking payments themselves and issuing tickets or email confirmations this is hopefully your all in one solution.
