How to Find Your Perfect Night Out with PartyNow
Step-by-step guide for discovering events that match your vibe using PartyNow's AI-powered recommendations, filters, and heat map features.
Reach Thousands of Party-Goers
Whether you're a venue owner, event promoter, or organizer, PartyNow helps you reach people actively looking for events. This guide will show you how to maximize your reach on our platform.
Step 1: Submit Your Event
Getting started is simple. Click "Submit Event" and fill in the details:
- Event name and description
- Date, time, and location
- Music genre and vibe
- Ticket price and link
- High-quality photos (this matters!)
After a quick review (usually 24 hours), your event goes live and starts appearing in searches, recommendations, and the heat map.
Step 2: Optimize Your Listing
Events with great photos get 3x more bookmarks. Use high-quality images that capture the vibe of your event. Avoid generic stock photos.
Write a compelling description that answers: What makes this event unique? Who's the lineup? What's the vibe? Be specific—"underground techno warehouse party" performs better than "fun night out."
Step 3: Understanding Organic Reach
Every event on PartyNow gets free organic reach. Your event will appear:
- In search results when users filter by your genre/location
- In AI recommendations for users who like similar events
- On the heat map with a Vibe Score based on engagement
The more users bookmark and share your event, the higher your Vibe Score climbs, giving you even more organic visibility.
Step 4: Boost with Advertising
Want to reach even more people? Our advertising platform offers several campaign types:
- Sponsored Listings: Appear at the top of search results
- Featured Events: Get prominent placement on the home page
- Push Notifications: Send alerts to users near your venue
- Banner Ads: Display your brand across the platform
Step 5: Set Your Budget & Target
We offer flexible pay-per-click pricing. Set a daily budget (no minimum!) and only pay when someone clicks on your event.
Target your ideal audience by:
- Location (radius around your venue)
- Age range and demographics
- Music preferences
- Past attendance behavior
Step 6: Track Your Performance
Your organizer dashboard shows real-time analytics:
- Total impressions and views
- Bookmarks and shares
- Click-through rate to tickets
- Current Vibe Score
- ROI for paid campaigns
Use this data to optimize future events. Which photos performed best? What time did you get the most bookmarks? What targeting options worked?
