Professional proofreading services for venues

Give the best first impression of your venue by getting your website and marketing materials professionally proofread – leaving you free to concentrate on running your venue!

Do I really need a proofreader?

If you want to encourage bands to play at your venue and fans to come to your shows, you already know that an online presence is essential. Your website is a vital tool for promoting your venue to bands, promoters and agents, and for getting your gig information out to potential ticket buyers.

Your own website gives you complete control over how you publicise your venue and events – you can use it to sell advance tickets to your upcoming gigs and to build your mailing list of interested gig-goers, and, perhaps most importantly, you’re not subject to the whims of the Musks and the Zuckerbergs of the online world…

However, to give your website a professional edge, instilling confidence and trust in ticket buyers and industry professionals alike, your content must be as error-free as possible. But if you’re busy running your venue, you probably don’t have time to check all your marketing for errors as well.

So perhaps the question you should really be asking is ‘Can I afford not to use the services of a proofreader?’

Hiring a trained pair of eyes to proofread your marketing materials will help you project a professional image of your business – and that’s where I come in!

As well as being a qualified proofreader, I’ve worked in the industry as an online content editor for a national entertainment listing and ticketing website for well over a decade, so I bring with me a wealth of experience and understanding of how to present gigs and venues online, both for event promotion and to maximise ticket sales.

Your website or blog is likely to be the first point of online contact you have with gig-goers.
Clear, concise and accurate content should give them all the important information they need about your venue and full details about your upcoming events – who’s playing and when, what club nights you have coming up, how much the tickets are and where they can buy them, and directions to your location.
Your website is also a great place to give promoters all the information they need to persuade them to bring their artists to your venue.
Digital marketing
Your email mailing list and social media accounts are brilliant ways to keep in touch with your followers and gig-goers.
✔ engage with your followers
✔ drive traffic to your website
✔ sell your tickets using timely emails and social media posts
Having your digital marketing checked by a fresh pair of eyes will ensure that all your event info is correct (dates, times, ticket details, etc.), the ticket links are working, and it’s free from any embarrassing errors.
Additional services
Promoting your venue isn’t just about having a great website and newsletter – your other marketing materials are just as important. To make sure your events are being promoted correctly, I can also proofread:
✔ Your upcoming event information and ticket details
✔ Your flyers and posters
✔ Your press releases
✔ Your gig previews and reviews
Every venue offers something a bit different – I'm here to help you present your venue in a way that appeals to your clientele and music industry people alike.
