Launching Mid-March 2024! 🎸

Hey there, GigBridge community! Get ready for an exciting new feature that’s going to make connecting in the live music scene easier than ever! 🎉

What Are Call Out Posts? 🤔

Think of Call Out Posts as your musical megaphone 📢 – they’re a brilliant way for both performers and venues to shout about opportunities, seek collaborations, or simply connect with like-minded music lovers. Whether you’re a solo artist looking for a backing vocalist or a venue searching for the perfect Saturday night band, Call Out Posts are your ticket to making it happen!

Who Can Use Call Out Posts? 🎵

Everyone on GigBridge with either a Performer or Venue Profile can create Call Out Posts. It’s like having your own personal billboard in the middle of a bustling music community!

Why Should You Use Call Out Posts? 🌟

Here’s the exciting bit – Call Out Posts are your gateway to growing your network and finding amazing opportunities. Every post you make becomes searchable by other GigBridge users, meaning the right people can find you at exactly the right time. No more hoping to bump into the perfect collaborator at an open mic night!

What Can You Post About? 📋

We’ve got categories for just about everything you might need:

• Auditions (Perfect for when your band needs a new drummer!)
• Collaborations (Writing partner for your next hit? Yes please!)
• Educational Resources (Share your knowledge or find a mentor)
• Industry Insights (Got tips? Share them!)
• Announcements (Big news? Let everyone know!)
• Services Needed/Offered (From guitar tech to vocal coaching)
• Technical Support and Advice (Because sometimes we all need a little help)
• Venue Specific (Looking for regular performers or offering opportunities)
• Work Opportunities (Because the music industry is huge!)

Real-World Examples 💡

For Performers: “Lead vocalist seeking guitarist and bassist for indie rock project – influences include Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes. Regular rehearsals and gigs planned for summer 2024!”

For Venues: “Historic pub in Birmingham seeking resident acoustic act for Sunday afternoons. Monthly slot available from April 2024!”

How Do You Create a Call Out Post? 🎯

It’s super simple! Just include:

• A catchy title that grabs attention
• Your Call Out type
• The right category (so the right people can find you!)
• A short, snappy description
• The dates you want your post to be active
• All the juicy details in the main description

What Happens Next? 📬

Once your Call Out is live:

• Other users can search and find your post
• Interested people can message you directly
• You’ll manage all conversations through your inbox
• When you’re done (maybe you’ve found your perfect bandmate!), just hit delete to remove the post

Keep It Fresh! 🌈

Remember to keep your Call Out Posts current – nobody likes turning up to a party that ended last week! When you’ve found what you’re looking for, just delete the post to keep things tidy.

Ready to start connecting? Watch this space – Call Out Posts are launching in mid-March 2024, just in time for you to build your dream band or find your next regular venue! 🚀
