Target decision makers. Promote Your Event on What's Local
Event advertising often struggles to connect with the right audience, especially those who actually decide which events to attend. Many marketing events cast a wide net but miss the mark when it comes to targeting decision makers. What if you could reach people actively looking for events in your area, showing them exactly where your event is happening? That’s where What’s Local comes in.

How What's Local Targets the Right Audience
What’s Local is designed for people who want to explore events nearby. Instead of random ads or broad marketing events, it connects your event with attendees who are already searching for something to do. This means your event advertising reaches decision makers—those who choose which events to attend—rather than just anyone.
By listing your event on What’s Local, you provide:
Precise location details so attendees know exactly where to go.
Clear event descriptions that highlight what makes your event unique.
Easy access for users to find and save your event.
This targeted approach ensures your marketing events are seen by people ready to commit, increasing attendance and engagement.
Practical Steps to Use What’s Local for Event Advertising
To get the most from What’s Local, follow these steps:
Create a detailed event listing. Include date, time, venue, and a compelling description.
Use high-quality images or videos to attract attention.
Highlight unique selling points such as special guests, activities, or exclusive offers.
Encourage attendees to share the event through the app’s sharing feature.
These actions help your event stand out among others and make it easier for decision makers to choose your event over competitors.
Why Location Matters in Event Marketing
One of the biggest challenges in marketing events is helping potential attendees understand where the event is and how convenient it is for them. What’s Local solves this by showing your event’s exact location on an interactive map. This visual cue helps people:
Plan their visit more easily.
Compare your event’s location with others.
Feel confident about attending.
This clarity reduces hesitation and increases the likelihood that decision makers will pick your event.
