EventElephant made it into Guidewire Group’s, Innovate!100 list in 2010, ranked at 43.

Guidewire is one the world's leading analyst firm’s focused exclusively on startups and emerging markets: this global competition identifies the world’s top 100 "outstanding and fast-moving start-up companies from around the world." The List was developed after more than 30 Pitch Slam events on five continents over the past 10 months, (thousands of pitches put through a rigorous methodology and process) as part of the Innovate! 2010 program. Placement on the list was determined by a combination of the company’s G/SCORE assessment, stage and pace of growth, and business potential.

New To Planning A Club Night?

Create hype!
If people aren’t excited about your club night, then they won’t go. With so many options for clubbers these days, you need to catch their attention. Every break through event needs a USP so be creative and create something that sets your night apart. Like a secret location, special guests or a completely unique experience. Take your event online to keep people informed about what’s happening and what to expect. Social networking sites are the perfect platform to do this. We ran a survey recently: 52% of our survey respondents said they receive between 1 and 5 Facebook music event invites per week. Make sure you get listed on your potential clubbers Facebook pages. with EventElephant's Facebook Integration Application you can upload your event to your Facebook page with just one click

Keep It Professional!
No one wants to attend a club night that looks like it was organised by a toddler. Make sure your marketing materials and website represent the night you are offering and are slick and professional. This is the first impression you’re potential customers will get of your event and can be make or break. Ensure all graphics and design are properly executed and present an image you would be proud to promote. Remember, you only get once chance to make a good first impression. With EventElephant's ticketing software you can set-up your uniquely branded website easily: here's a great example of the WrightVenue:

Cater To Your Clientele
Don’t charge students prices they cannot afford, or expect professionals to party in a dive club. Know who you’re customers are and their expectations. Especially today, pricing is crucial and can determine the type of clubber you will attract. You can’t cater to everyone’s taste: understand who you want to attract and customise the music and venue to keep them coming back.

Planning Is Key!
