Thanks for the questions, I’ll answer them from the top.
Firstly the ads tool we used was the WhatsApp tv with Viralz promotion, this company is in charge of sending broadcast messages to more than 20k WhatsApp contact within a particular place advertising a given content, we had them broadcasted our show for 14 days until the day of the event, here is the chat receipt.
This WhatsApp TV is undoubtedly the best way to hype and publicize a show because viewers gets it directly on their phone…
We have other popular influencers post them on their instagram stories too.
2, secondly we made 15 near T shirts, gave it out to artist and crew members unfortunately artist came with their stylist and weren’t dressed on our near T-shirts, so we had to share the rest of the shirts to the crew members and ushers to make it visible for everyone to see.
3, thirdly the band competition was between,
9ytrogenius (the winner) a signed artist from BMG record
Nero another contestant
WizPrince a contestant
Tinny a contestant
And lastly Cblake our last contestant…
And the winner was 9ytrogenius recorded a song for minting ft Nero which has already been minted on the NxM store.
And the video coverage of the event and performances has been sent to one of the council member for minting @pawel
Total money spent on this event is 1063$ i had to add my own personal funds to equip some items.
Here is the breakdown of the money i spent and who i paid…
- live band crew and rented equipment 250$
*Viralz promotion charged me 45,000 naira (83$) for two weeks promotion before the event day
Which was paid immediately after this proposal was approved
-
Event Location: skippo lounge is a reputable location here in lekki-ajah way, with little discounted rate the location was given to us for 200$ instead of the initial budget of 237$, the 37$ was then added to the publicity
-
banner, light, coverage, and sound cost 190$
-
15 quality near printed T-shirts for 130$
-
Artist hospitality, booking, and live singing competition cost 210$
However i added a lot from my end to enhance a good event like hotel booking for artist and transportation all was funded by me, our guest gave us a thumbs up for this event, we asked many questions and the feedback we got was perfect…
Firstly I requested for 500$ along the line I requested additional 63$ that made it 563$ in total, so now that this event have been completed I’m requesting for 437$ to transport our equipment back and clear out some rented equipments too…
I must say this is the best event I’ve had so far, it was innovative, a lot of audiences wanna hear more about near and we onboarded the few we can,
Likes of tory.near
Jebutu.near

E.t.c and a whole lot of them demanded urgent wallet which we onboarded.
Once again I’m saying a big thank you to the entire ecosystem, near council members and our community members. @Monish016 @Paul @bonepolice @vandal @williamx @rhymetaylor
