We aim for Australia’s Biggest Gig Guide to become the most extensive gig guide in Australia! Our goal is to have all venues, bands, and promoters register their events so anyone in Australia can easily find live entertainment, whether in their local area or when visiting new places. Be patient with us. We have created the platform and we are now marketing to venues, bands, promoters and agents to use the service.
It takes resources to run this service—web hosting, software programs, SEO, Meta and Google ads, and staff. These costs allow us to provide a top-tier platform that boosts your gigs’ visibility.
We offer a range of promotional services, including:
Gig listings on our platform
Paid ads on Google and Meta
Social media promotion
Featured spotlights for selected gigs
SEO optimization for higher visibility
Email newsletters targeting gig-goers.
While social media is free, it doesn’t guarantee your gigs will be seen by the right audience or seen at all. Did you know the current Facebook organic reach is only 2-5% of a page’s followers? Instagram is only slightly better. We use targeted promotion strategies and our established audience base to get your events in front of thousands of gig-goers.
We focus on any live entertainment and events across Australia. With a growing network of subscribers and industry connections, we make it easier for venues and artists to fill their events with passionate punters.
No problem! We cater, Whether you host gigs weekly or just a handful throughout the year. There’s a flexible package for everyone.
We ask the venues to go one step further and provide an exclusive offer we can send by email to subscribers to help bring regulars and new customers through your door, making the event a success and creating a fabulous environment that encourages people to return. This could be a two-for-one entry fee, free entry, complimentary drink on arrival, a drink card, or even a percentage off drinks for ABGG subscribers.
Australia’s Biggest Gig Guide is powered by Reach Social Media. We have worked for entertainers, venues, agents, and promoters for years and have seen the pain points of promoting shows from all angles. So much so that we have provided free services for a long time to many, helping as much as we can to see shows go ahead, give entertainment to Australians, and support venues and entertainers to stay afloat. The entertainment and hospitality industry is not easy in this current climate and needs support from everyone. Yes, this is a paid service = it has to be to keep it going. Our fees are reasonable, and we provide value for your dollar. We care about the industry and want to give back what the industry that we often take for granted and for what these industries have given to all Australians.
Fair enough. Please, though, do your part. If you are a band - promote with organic posts, paid posts, posters and whatever you can do to support the venue, paying you a fee. 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀: if you invite a band to perform at your venue, do your part in bringing your regulars and new punters through your doors to make it a success and pay the band a fair fee for their hard and exhausting work on the night,
the hours of set up and transporting expensive equipment, their costly insurance and the years of rehearsals and practice bringing you the band you want your customers to enjoy and return to see again.
If you have any questions, please message us. Thank you to all venues and the public for your support to date.
