Looking for feedback for an idea I've been mulling over lately. A local event listing website.
The plan would be to contact a huge amount of local businesses via an email at the start of every week. Bars, sports clubs, theatres etc etc.
Here's a quick MVP I built to give you a better idea of what I'm thinking of: Events MVP
Appreciate any feedback or ideas.
The plan would be to contact a huge amount of local businesses via an email at the start of every week. Bars, sports clubs, theatres etc etc.
- Anybody can add an event to the website via a form which then goes into a moderation queue.
- The site will have filters which break down listings to more local areas and types of event.
- For €5 I will add your listing to the site for the week, your listing will then be listed as premium. So, possibly a shiny border or tag and also appear top of the listings.
- You can pay to have an advert banner sit at the top of the site for a month as an alternate form of revenue.
- The 'local' population I am aiming for is about 3 million and includes a capital city.
- I can build this myself and estimate the cost of the build out of the site at less than €500.
- Laziness. Will local businesses be bothered to fill in a form and will I have the patience to put up 100's of listings every week? Apart from the form I can't think of a way of automating the input of listings. I could possibly pull listings from other sites like facebook and eventbrite but then the site becomes less bespoke and more of an aggregator.
- Permission. I could, in theory, find every local listing out there on the net and manually put it on my site, but I would need to contact those event creators for permission wouldn't I?
