Getting as Much of an Online Presence as Possible
We’re switching things up this year—no more endless emails. Instead, all promo updates live here. It’s easier for everyone, especially newer acts already drowning in Eventotron chaos.
The Plan?
Work smarter, not harder. People have short attention spans, so we’re cutting the fluff and making promo actually sell tickets, not just get likes.
What Does That Mean?
Most people who see your posts will think, “That looks fun”—but that doesn’t mean they’ll actually book. The longer it takes to click “buy,” the more chance they get distracted by a dog video and forget.

Using Our Instagram To It’s Full Potential.
HALF A CAMEL’S INSTAGRAM METHOD
More Exposure. More……
✊BUMS ON SEATS✊
Last year, we doubled audience attendance at each of our venues by uniting them under the Half A Camel name and maximizing both physical and online exposure.
This year, with a refined Instagram strategy and a much stronger physical presence, we’re BIGGER, BETTER, FASTER, FUNNIER.
We’ve never done a Pre-Fringe promo campaign before, we’ve already had shows sold out and a lot of tickets are getting sold, shows normally don’t sell until the run up to the Fringe (15th Feb 2025)
