Regional Events Live is helping people find information they are after.. and it's working.. They are staying and searching our website for an average of 8.45 minutes.  That's a lot when you think that it takes just 6 seconds to interest or lose someones attention.

People love the site, it's easy to use and easy to advertise and find information.  It means that they aren't getting inundated with all this information from various groups and organisations.  They just get the one email that tells them what's going on in their area's of interest.

What do these statistics mean?

To give you some idea about how our statistics compare and what this means we provide the following:

Open and click-through rates, the most commonly used and benchmarked email marketing metrics, provide marketers with a quick and reasonably accurate snapshot of how an email message performed.  The click-through rate measures how effective our email message was in motivating recipients who opened it, to then click a link (i.e. your event!) 

The just released 'Australia's sixth Email Marketing Metrics Report'  first quarter 2009  is the most current and valid that we could provide you with for Australia.  We have also specifically extracted information on the Entertainment/Advertising/Media segment which is the more relevant for our industry.  To be fair, we have also included some general statistics from the US & Europe to give you a broader understanding.

As you can see below, Regional Events Live is outperforming the statistics on all levels.

My event isn't until next year can I list my event now?

Yes, please do!   We have a free Claim the Date listing set up just for this reason.  Other people are starting to look at when to organize their event for next year and there is nothing worse than having events clash so the earlier you list the event the better!

I'm already using print, tv and radio - why would I list on the internet?

People use the internet to search for specific information.  They are focused and motivated to find something that interests them - even if they are just websurfing!

There is more time spent on the internet than there is reading, listening and watching more traditional marketing media. 

Our listing packages are so reasonable why would you not!

There is a lot of facts that support the reason for including paid on-line advertising to support the other methods you are currently using.

All ages of people are regularly using the internet.
