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.

  • Multi-channel Marketing

    Manage emails, websites, social posts, and offline marketing all in one place, or seamlessly in tandem with your other systems.

  • Consistent Branding

    Event promotions that look and sound consistent everywhere, and that use your branding - not ours.

  • Data-informed Campaigns

    Replace generic email blasts and guesswork with more-effective campaigns that build upon what's actually working.

EVERY CHANNEL

Reach Your Audience Everywhere, Automatically

Your audience is everywhere, and OTS automatically starts spreading the word to reach them wherever they are from the moment you go on sale.

Offline Promotions That Drive Online Sales

Not every ticket buyer starts online, which is why OTS also provides a suite of tools to streamline your offline marketing. Every production automatically generates a set of print-ready flyers, posters, and programs using your event artwork — no designer required — plus a QR code that turns a lobby poster or community bulletin board into a direct path to checkout.

Automatically create custom QRs that go straight to the ticket purchase flow.

MEASURING SUCCESS

Use Real Data, Not Guesswork, to Promote Events

Running ads and sending emails for an event shouldn't be a game of chance. Use your first-party OTS data and performance metrics from Google, Meta, and Reddit to optimize promotional campaigns, improve ROAS, and boost overall effectiveness.

  • Ad Pixel Integrations

    Add Google, Meta, and Reddit tracking pixels to OTS-hosted sites and pages to get a better view into who is and isn't buying.

  • Conversion Tracking

    Attribute ticket sales back to the channel that drove them, and build funnels to see where interested visitors drop off before checkout.

  • Campaign Reports

    Easily access built-in reports to optimize your promotional campaigns.

CUSTOMER PROOF

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.
