Event venue marketing can be tough. The experts with Unique Venues take away the stress and help drive results.

 

Hollywood has a habit of portraying marketing, advertising, and lead generation as a glamorous lifestyle and profession that comes with ease and inevitably ends in success. Unrealistic portrayals of unlimited budgets and instant rewards are the golden standard in film. In reality, though, most businesses don’t have an unlimited marketing budget, or even a dedicated marketing manager at their venues. Which is why Unique Venues acts as your marketing agent, providing peace of mind and stretching your marketing dollars to bring your venue success.

The event industry is roaring back to life thanks to attendee confidence in public safety measures and risk mitigation efforts established by venues. It’s a time of regrowth, repositioning, and an opportunity for event venues to capitalize on what will be a remarkable year, one in which the 2023 AMEX Global Event Trends Forecast reports that 75% of event pros are rating their optimism at 8 or higher on a 10-point scale.

As a venue that focuses on hosting external meetings, weddings, special events, parties, corporate trainings, and conferences, and more, how can you successfully attract these events and post your highest possible revenue numbers in 2023? Listing your venue on UniqueVenues.com with the help of the experts at Unique Venues. Our team takes away the stress and helps drive results. Just like the movies.

Unique Venues is a Digital Marketing Agency for Unique and One-of-a-Kind Event Venues
UniqueVenues.com is a directory listing site that specializes in promoting only non-traditional and one-of-a-kind event venues (think anything that isn’t a multinational hotel or purpose-built convention center) to professional and casual event planners looking for unique event venues to host their special gatherings. Our goal is to help our venue clients be seen by more planners and our magic is filling the sales pipeline for our client venues through our qualified lead generation program.

In 2023 there are plenty of options for marketing your event venue, so what sets Unique Venues apart? I’m glad that you asked!

1. Event Lead Quality Is More Important Than Quantity
At Unique Venues, we believe that one great lead is better than ten mediocre leads. Why? It saves you time and the effort of having to sift through inadequate or false leads that don’t amount to solid business. Each time you see a lead from Unique Venues in your inbox, you know that it is worth your already limited time and focus.

2. Event Leads That Fit Your Venue
One of the most important aspects of our event lead generation is that you can set your lead preferences to only include the types of business that you’re able to host. This allows us to help you make more meaningful connections with the events planners that we do connect you with.

3. The Business You Book is 100% Yours to Keep. Always.
No hidden fees. No commissions owed on bookings. That’s how Unique Venues operates.

5. We Invest in Your Success
