Promote Events
Automatically Announce Events & Reach Your Audience, Everywhere They Are
On The Stage is a multi-channel event promotion engine that automatically starts working the moment you go on sale. Announce new events, promote upcoming shows, and reach new ticket buyers across email, social, web, and print.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Consistent, Effective Event Promotion that Goes Beyond Publishing
Announcing a show shouldn't be a one-time scramble. Between the on-sale date and opening night, your audience needs to hear about it more than once, in more than one place — without it becoming a second job. OTS builds the promotion into the platform itself, so every ticket you have on sale gets a real shot at being found and bought.

FAQ
Common questions about promoting events.
How does On The Stage help people find out my show is on sale?
Publishing a show starts an automatic promotional sequence — emails and social posts — that runs from your on-sale date through closing night, with nothing extra for you to build or schedule.
Can I keep using my own email marketing tool instead of OTS's?
Yes. Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and Klaviyo integrations sync your patron and purchase data automatically, pre-tagged by production and performance, so your existing workflow keeps working.
Does On The Stage post to social media for me?
Yes. Every production gets a set of promotional social posts, published automatically across every platform you've connected.
Can I run ads and know whether they're actually working?
Yes. Connect your Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and Reddit Pixel IDs and OTS sends real conversion data back to those platforms, so your campaigns optimize around actual ticket purchases instead of clicks.
Do I need my own website to sell tickets online?
No. OTS can be used to build a show site and an organization site for you, or you can embed the mobile-friendly ticketing widget directly on a site you already have.
Will people be able to find my show through a Google search?
Yes. OTS show sites are built to be indexed by Google, so your event shows up in the searches your audience is already running.
Can On The Stage help with printed materials like flyers and posters?
Yes. Every production automatically generates flyers, posters, and playbills using your own show artwork, plus a QR code that links straight to your ticket purchase flow.
How do I know which of my marketing is actually selling tickets?
Every scheduled and sent email and social post lives in one view, with sales and revenue tracked per message, so you can see what's working without piecing it together yourself.
