The Countdown to Party Conference Season Begins!
FringeList.com – now in it’s fourth year – is the online interactive guide to all the conferences. It is also the only way to tell thousands of party conference attendees about your events via the Web. FringeList promotes your events with a huge online advertising campaign across all the most read political blogs, as well as in The Spectator, New Statesman, Total Politics Facebook and Twitter, all the right places to be seen by the right people.
We’ve made it all interactive and web-linked, which means it’s easy for users to find the events they really want to attend. One click and a user can easily see events themed around specific policies, or in specific areas of the conference zone (though we’ve noticed users tend to mostly search for events that offer ‘refreshments‘). A couple of hours before their favourite events start, we’ll send them SMS/text message reminders.
FringeList is also mobile-web friendly, which means users don’t have to flip through pages and pages of events within those conference handbooks to find the events they want to attend. We’ll be launching a dedicated iPhone app, and we’ve also integrated our services with Facebook and Twitter – which means you’re able to see all your friends going to the same events.
Organisers who take advantage of our premium listings on FringeList will see their events advertised with display ads across the blogosphere, and on the New Statesman and Spectator magazine websites. We can guarantee your adverts will be seen by the thousands of people attending the party conferences. Last year, we sent out 25,000 text message reminders to people attending the conferences.
In an age of Blackberries and iPhones handing out leaflets and hoping conference goers read it and remember to come seems not just old fashioned but a bit hit and miss. We’re offering two marketing packages to fringe event organisers – click on the learn more button to see how we can help you fill all those seats at your events.
