Need an extra boost for your show?
In addition to our free standard listings, ShowHub now offers paid promotional options for artists, venues, and event organizers seeking greater visibility for their live music events in Vancouver and the surrounding areas.
These packages combine homepage features, pinned social posts, and targeted Meta ads to help your event reach a wider, highly engaged audience of local live music fans.
Feature Show Options
Homepage Feature – $25 per day
Independent featured show block on ShowHub’s homepage, linked to both your event details page and ticket purchase page.
Pinned Instagram & Facebook Posts – $20 per day
Keeps your show fixed at the top of our feeds for the duration of the campaign. Also includes the ticket link in our IG bio.
Meta Ad Campaign Management – Ad budget + $50
Includes ad graphics, audience targeting (including our followers and lookalikes), monitoring, and adjustments.
Recommended run: 5–7 days at $10–20/day split between Facebook and Instagram.
We’ve seen the best results at $20/day ($10 for Facebook and $10 for IG). Running separate ads for each platform ensures better delivery – rather than leaving placement up to Meta – and allows early metrics to guide where to shift budget for the best return.
Sample Package Pricing
• 5-day campaign with all three options: $275 + $100 ad spend = $375 total
• 7-day campaign with all three options: $365 + $140 ad spend = $505 (we’d do $500 flat)
All campaigns include:
- Use of ShowHub’s custom social graphics (created for every listed show) featuring the artist’s photo and event details
- One Instagram Story post two days before the show
- Newsletter mention where applicable
Ad campaign results:
- Our most recent 5-day campaign ($80 ad spend) generated 14,311 views with a reach of 10,083.
- The previous campaign ($40 ad spend) generated 7,702 views with a reach of 5,789.
- Average results: approximately 5,500 impressions and 3,200 unique individuals reached per day.
While nothing is guaranteed with Meta’s algorithm, show campaigns are averaging 3,500 views per day for a $20 spend. When combined with the additional visibility from pinned posts, stories, and the ShowHub homepage, overall exposure to an engaged audience is very strong – and continues to grow.
