Product Category FAQs
Can I use On The Stage to market and promote non-theatrical events?
You sure can! Our platform is built to work intuitively for theatre productions, musical concerts, dance recitals, award shows, live events, camp/class registration, and more. In addition to theatres of all sizes, we regularly work with dance and prom committees, special events, sporting events, and cheer/dance/color guard competitions, just to name a few. You can also use OTS for registration to support classes, camps, events, and more.
Can I link my OTS site to social media?
Yes! You can easily link your Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter business accounts to the On The Stage platform to automate promotions for your upcoming events and fundraisers. This will also connect your production and organization sites to connect a branded online presence and increase audience engagement seamlessly.
What is the difference between a production site and an organization site?
Your Production site is where you can learn more about a specific production or event. Through your production site you can offer tickets, merchandise and opportunities to donate to support the program.
Your organization site is a hub for promoting all your individual productions, your organization, and your brand. It’s your online home, with a URL that remains consistent no matter what show you’re working on at any given moment. There, patrons can buy tickets to any show in your season, subscription packages, merchandise for all your productions, and stay update on organizational news and opportunities.
How long does it take to build a show site?
OTS Production sites require just a few pieces of information to get your ticket sales started and can be launched in under 5 minutes! Once published, you can continue to work on and add to your production site to give your patrons a great preview into the production and develop your Showgram (OTS proprietary program generator) to be used for any show or event you’re producing.
Can I choose my own domain name with an OTS show or org site?
OTS will purchase and host a custom domain for all Empower Plan customers, which we will point to your OTS Organization site. If you would prefer to switch your current hosting provider you can work with your Account Manager to make this change.
Can I use my own graphics and show art?
Absolutely! Just upload your files using the specs we provide. If you need help resizing your art or customizing our show images, our Account Managers can help engage our graphic designers for a managed service agreement.
I already have a website. Can I still use OTS for ticketing?
Absolutely! Embed the ticketing experience right within your own site. Our embeddable ticketing widget allows your patrons to continue to engage with you and your organization without leaving your destination site.
Can patrons opt out of email blasts?
Yes. Our marketing emails adhere to regulations, compliance, and industry standards, that include giving recipients the option to opt out of receiving marketing email communications.
What type of marketing materials does On The Stage offer?
On The Stage generates posters, flyers, and digital images from your show site artwork. You can use them online or print physical copies for your cast, crew and audience. Our comprehensive suite of marketing and promotion tools also includes email and social media marketing to expand your reach and engage with your audience.
