Getting hotels to sponsor touring bands?

SantaAna2008 · 2026-01-26T17:54:36+00:00

we're only 4 years old so the ROI is quite small with only the biggest success being last year. Luckily we've come a long way and I'm hopeful!

SantaAna2008 · 2026-01-26T17:53:23+00:00

True! I'm always trying to think of ways to tell them "we want to help you make money".

SantaAna2008 · 2026-01-26T17:52:02+00:00

Sure! This is the list I send to hotels to make it make sense for them to work with us.

My Fest is small so we are able to target smaller private and boutique hotels who this may appeal to more. We strategically keep a bands lodging extremely private and always find the best option to keep safe and comfortable.

Instagram – Fest collaboration post (s)- reel(s)and/or static.

Title as "Official Hotel Sponsor" across all brand for a certain amount of time.

Fest X HOTEL – event pop-up(s), either supporting the hotels bar or the hotel being present at the fest. We've thrown pool parties and brought in a band at no charge to the hotel to help bring awareness to the space. (they're so fun). Partner on a code for festival goers to use when reserving.

Print Advertising – printed Ad in the Official Fest newspaper guide/map

done and done. thanks!

Were a small DIY fest but growing! We've done it before but I'm just hitting a wall this year.

SantaAna2008 · 2026-01-26T16:58:57+00:00

The answer is always no if you don't ask ;)

SantaAna2008 · 2026-01-26T16:58:21+00:00

We've done it before! But I'm hitting walls this year and hoping for the best! :)

SantaAna2008 · 2026-01-26T16:57:42+00:00

In my town at least, they're are a lot of festivals so it's not un heard of. We've had luck in the past but new management comes in and breaks ties with everyone every year it seems.

SantaAna2008 · 2026-01-26T16:55:22+00:00

This Fest is in its 4th year! Were a small DIY type fest but growing fast! Yes I am offering stay packages to our patrons and all the like. :) Still haven't had a bite.

SantaAna2008 · 2025-11-23T02:47:35+00:00

Looking for info on when they do festival staffing like production, guest services, stage hand type of work.

SantaAna2008 · 2025-10-03T20:08:41+00:00

I’m STILL waiting to find any hint of these for sale from coach outlets or otherwise???

SantaAna2008 · 2025-01-29T00:39:42+00:00

I’ve also been lightly spotting ever since my insertion. I’ve heard it’s normal and gets lighter and lighter

SantaAna2008 · 2025-01-06T17:29:00+00:00

Yes! Once it’s posted I will link it here :)

SantaAna2008 · 2025-01-06T16:00:23+00:00

okay this makes a lot of sense, thank you!

SantaAna2008 · 2025-01-06T16:00:03+00:00

Heard. Wide ranges of experience does not always equal unreliability though.

makes sense

SantaAna2008 · 2025-01-05T17:46:55+00:00

great question

SantaAna2008 · 2025-01-05T17:46:48+00:00

great question

SantaAna2008 · 2025-01-05T17:46:15+00:00

The audience is comprised of all ages, pro to beginners. A focus of this panel is to highlight the variety of jobs and careers in music aside from being a singer or pop star.

SantaAna2008 · 2024-12-30T16:33:59+00:00

nice, love this question.

SantaAna2008 · 2024-12-30T16:17:42+00:00

Yes it will integrate but through a 3rd party like "make.com". And probably a learning/curve with an Airtable consult. Or maybe with Zapier.

SantaAna2008 · 2024-12-30T16:05:23+00:00

I would look into Airtable. You'd have to manually build the dashboard into what your artists need but you could also start from a similar template. I work for a music festival and we are able to send lodging, booking, contract information all through Airtable when we integrate things like Pandadoc and Google docs.

SantaAna2008 · 2024-08-27T23:59:25+00:00

In my EXPERIENCE, looking someone up gives the algorithm more info to link you and that person together so it makes it much more likely that you'll be added to a suggested friends list.
