Promoted Emails are a fast, easy, and affordable way for venues of all sizes to directly engage Bandsintown fans of specific artists or in specific areas with targeted emails using plug-and-play templates, helping you create awareness and drive sales.

To promote a specific event, navigate to Home or Events and click Promote next to the event you’d like to create a campaign for.

You’ll be taken directly to the Audience selection window, where the artist and location of your event will be pre-populated. Leave as is or add additional artists and locations to target. Continue on to Step 4 below.

From your Dashboard Home, navigate to the Ad Manager and click Create a Campaign.

Select the type of campaign you’d like to create from the list of expert-designed templates, or start from scratch. You can edit and customize the design later with the drag-and-drop editor.

Name your campaign, add performing artists, location and date, and set the date and time for the emails to be sent.

Set the radius around the geographic location of the event you’d like to promote and choose similar artists whose fans you’d like to target.

Geotargeting will default to a 75-mile radius of the location of your event, but for larger events like festivals, targeting the entire state or country may make more sense.

Emails to Send shows how many emails can be sent based on a given targeting criteria and specified budget, while Max shows how many emails could potentially be sent with an unlimited budget.

Expand or reduce the radius or add more locations with the + button next to Add Audience.

The left-hand navigation panel includes tabs to customize every aspect of the appearance and content of your email.

Appearance tab: Customize the background color or image of your email as well as the font, text size, alignment and color, line spacing, link color, and button design for each section. Adjust how your email displays on mobile devices in the Mobile Formatting section.

Content tab: Customize the layout of your email with preset structures which can be populated by dragging and dropping blocks for images or videos, text, buttons, ticket links, social links, spacers, HTML code and more.

Undo or redo actions using the arrows in the upper-right hand corner.

Review your campaign details, including budget, targeting and scheduled send time, and add any promotional credits you may have, or save the campaign to edit later.

Once your order is submitted, you'll receive a proof via email to approve before the campaign is sent out.
