One of the major challenges of event professionals, creatives, and local entertainers is finding the right clients that need their services. Most of them only rely on referrals and social media to promote their services to attract prospective clients to book them for events. Hostbridge was created to easily connect event vendors to the right opportunities. We provide a convenient way for entertainers and event professionals to showcase their services to a wider audience. In this article, we will discuss some benefits you stand to gain when you list your service on Hostbridge.

Increased Visibility

In today's digital marketplace, where many consumers turn to the internet to research products and services, businesses that do not have a strong online presence risk falling behind their competitors. Whether you are an event MC, Comedian, Photographer, or caterer, you need to be where your potential customers are searching. By getting listed on Hostbridge you have an opportunity to promote your brand for free to attract potential customers. Also, our target audience are the thousands of people planning for various events, which helps you reach your ideal customer base more effectively when compared to social media channels.

More Leads

With increased visibility for your brand and business, you also get to receive more requests and inquiries about your availability for events. This will ultimately result in more bookings for you without having to pitch anyone or send proposals. You can also optimize your listing for more leads by providing a clear and detailed description of your brand and services, including high-quality photos, and providing accurate contact information.

Increased Credibility

Our customers are more likely to trust businesses listed with us since we go the extra mile to ensure that all listings are verified and safe. We also have a transparent process with our policies and guidelines to help you operate fairly and consistently with clients.

Cost Effective Marketing

Marketing can be expensive, especially for small freelancers, independent entertainers and businesses with limited budgets. Listing on Hostbridge provides an affordable marketing option for event businesses of all sizes. Our platform makes it easy for you to get started at absolutely no cost. The client only needs to see a good portfolio with your booking rates and availability. Additionally, we also get to promote you through our community blog, socials, and newsletters.

Guaranteed Payment

The Hostbridge platform has a seamless, user-friendly payment process. As one of our policies, clients must pay the full booking fees in advance before the event day. We make a part deposit for you and then pay the balance to your local bank account after the service has been rendered within one to two business days. This serves you the stress of going after clients who may delay payments. However, since we use third-party payment routes, we charge a small processing fee and apply a booking commission for each successful gig.

Verified Reviews

Additionally, having positive reviews and ratings on our platform can further enhance your brand's credibility and reputation. This is why we follow up with our clients and prompt users to leave reviews and feedback about each service when they book through us. This feedback provides valuable insights into what customers like and do not like about your services and points you to the areas that need improvement. By monitoring and responding to customer feedback, you build a stronger relationships with them.
