Elevator Pitch	“Promoter Powered Event Management”

While there are many event services available, EventHoller stands apart by taking a different approach. Through EventHoller, event promoters can network with each other, in addition to managing their own event.

Looking at existing event management systems, Founder Jamil Khan identified a couple of problems with how those systems work for promoters. First was that ticketing systems are expensive. Second was that event promotion is expensive and the results can be uncertain.
His solution involves combining an event management system with a social media network, while giving promoters access to control of ticket prices and consequently, ticket commission.

Through their platform, promoter’s events are posted to their social media outlet and users are directed to the ticket sales page. Signing up for and using the service is 100 per cent free and the promoter has complete control over the ticket prices. As an extension to ticket sales, through networking, a promoter can use affiliate promoters to help sell their tickets and the affiliate is given a portion of commission, after they help sell a ticket.

Promotion through affiliates also brings the benefits of more cohesion within the promoting community, but more importantly to any promoter is the opportunity to reach larger audiences.

Event management being big business, EventHoller has a large market to work within. With the market of online ticket sales being $3.3 billion and growing, their platform is well positioned.

Receiving favourable attention already from BlogTO, iTWorldCanada and TechVibes, EventHoller is a startup on the rise.

Solid pitch in hand, EventHoller will be featured at [IN]cubes Demo Day on September 12.
