The concept of above the fold should translate to promotion and especially social media. I have a good example for you this morning. Facebook has rolled out another version of Events. If you do not use their ticketing system, they only give you the choice to have the price of the event be free. This…
As many of you know, there is a feeling of relief and “what’s next?” after a concert cycle is over. I finished a full season with one of my clients, and at the end, I made sure to take a moment to evaluate what had happened. In fact, I took time out to process a…
