So I think it would cool if you guys included interviews in the blogs. I think it will be good for local talent to get exposure on that way and also serve a platform for artist to speak. I think all the ideas are solid but the blogs are how you spread your name and get people to spread the name for you as well.
I think making Urban Az more visible at the shows would be great. A banner similar to what radio and television stations have at their shows to display for photographs.
Those are great ideas but also do blogs where people are gonna want too pull there attention too because if it is something that everybody already knows about because of world star or any other source they won’t pay it any mind. Being ahead of what’s actually going on in our world will put y’all at the top especially if you got blogs and other things that catch a lot of people’s attention. The events is a big part of what y’all do especially this generation with how everybody like to have a good time and enjoy themselves, when y’all throw big events and give out prizes it makes people want to spend their money more and show up to every event. Then putting up blogs after each event and getting positive comments and ideas on how you can make events even more better and still keep everyone safe. Many people will start to advertise and give sponsorships when they realize how much of a progress your team has made and then the other things just fall into place because of y’all team popularity like the auction, vendors, 3rd party ticketing etc.. y’all got a team that will be on top real soon.
Urban is the “to go to” place. Old or new artist. The give a chance to the new guy. Love y’all keep it coming.
Urban Az I like when you guy put the convert together. I always get an email keeping me info on the up coming events. Also when I attend the events staff is very welcoming and just with the people talking and making sure we having a good time. Keep up the great work for the community as well. Bringing all people together for the good I remember all the youth events you have hosted. Continue to do great things and thank you for all you do
The blogs is a good idea to keep us in the know for local talent and more established artist too. Consider adding a year-round event calendar added local and more established talent too. Created a street team that can go to other events to create buzz for yours. Let us know in advance when you have vendors will be at your events and consider hugging some in the blog.
First off thanks for the events the ideas are good but more advisertions of the events would be alot better alot of people dont have facebook or twitter an they look up local events on the websites
I think it would be great if the blogs had a recap or review of a previous event. Like professional pictures and videos from the concert. Also the free pictures offered are great at shows too, especially if you are able to text them soon after so we can share them right away.
You guys are doing great with bringing concerts to Phx .
1. More promotion on upcoming events.
2. Podcast or speak with people that attended the event and make small slide show for social media
3. Raffle off tickets if you share like and tag 5 friends with the event that will help with more traffic whomever wins can get 2 free tickets and maybe VIP
4. Do a summer or winter fest
5. Create a street team to promote these events , flyers etc
6.Urban AZ calendar
Urban AZ Rocks. You guys should do a podcast.
I hope i make the deadline but first i would like to say thank you for all the amazing events you guys have brought to Arizona. You guys make it fun and amazing with always having affordable tickets and doing a variety of everything such as throwback artists and even newer R&B and Hip Hop. When you guys did those free events for the kids and gave them a safe place to party and free food that was AMAZING.
1.) Blogs are an amazing idea. We would love to hear your opinion and to be put on with new talent and businesses out here that deserve to be put on. There aren’t many Arizona blogs that do that (that i know of at least) – My only suggestion is to keep away from the mainstream as that is super saturated already and focus on the content that TRULY matters.
2.) I think you guys will go far with consulting! with over 20+ years of experience you guys can bring so much value to a client. Most people think they know it all unfortunately and if i was in your business space i would take advantage of the knowledge.
3.) With events keep it going! but i believe if you guys ever do a festival you will truly put a mark and leave a legacy with that.
4.) Auctions would be great! Signed guitars, signed vinyls and exclusive tickets would be perfect and would be a great tax write off.
5.) Vendors are an amazing idea as you guys are supporting local business.
6.) I absolutely love the idea of free photos and being at other events. If you guys do it like how the radio stations do it by having a street team, setting up a tent or table, giving away prizes that would be great. Also taking pictures will help drive traffic to your website because people love seeing their picture.
You guys are truly a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry in Arizona.
