Info for Venues

What is Open Mic?

• For the price of hiring a soloist, your patrons enjoy the variety of up to six different Artists over three hours.

• Perth Open Mic provides all production, lighting, skilled operator, online booking system, insurance, marketing resources and Australia’s largest open mic network.

• Open mic is not loud. Other entertainment options will ‘take over’ the room. Our experienced operators ensure quality live music that complements your venue’s atmosphere & patronage.

• Perth Open Mic cannot promise to fill your venue with their family and friends. It does happen, but should not be your focus. Open mic, like any live music, improves the atmospheric appeal of your venue, encouraging your patrons to return and stay longer.

• Perth Open Mic is a prominent music-based, word of mouth and social media network. This brings notoriety and regular presence of mind to a new customer base for your venue.

• Perth Open Mic will build the culture of your venue and community. The positivity is infectious and spreads throughout your venue’s patrons. A snow-ball effect results in long-lasting, sustainable patronage over months and years.

Perth Open Mic Marketing

Perth Open Mic will collaborate with your venue to achieve a common goal. Our Artists want an audience and so do you. Their social media organically exposes your venue to those coveted new demographics and audiences. Perth Open Mic has excellent reach and provides daily, relevant content. Direct liaison with your social media/marketing staff is integral to our combined success.

Maximise your investment by showing potential patrons that you have something to offer. Advertise and advertise again. Most advertising is free and we’ll show you how. E.g. Giglist, venue frontage, in-house screens, table flyers, social media, website, posters etc.

All Perth Open Mic details are listed on Giglist and viewed by 10,000+ visitors per month.

In House Advertising

Everyone knows it’s easier to keep customers than to make new ones. Market to existing patrons to advocate for your venue. There will always be busy nights and quiet nights, but your gesture of providing live music, free of charge has good mileage with your proud local patrons every day, not just on open mic night.

E.g. Posters, flyers, menus & in-house screens.

Social Media Basics

Perth Open Mic will provide plenty of content. Let’s work together to share posts, links to the Perth Open Mic booking form and special Facebook Events.

Perth Open Mic photos have been viewed over 500,000 times on Google. We help your venue reach a greater audience than you can alone.

Our performers have prepared at home, made a booking, turned up on time with expensive equipment and performed live music. They would appreciate a complimentary drink. Perth Open Mic will provide customised drink cards so you can keep track at POS.

Our operator will require a $25 bar card per night for F&B. Water & soda water should be provided free of charge.
