Everyone knows, in this business, you’ve got to dress to impress. Why not take that same approach when putting together your profile?

Every day we’re flooded with clients searching for all sorts of vendors, from multipurpose entertainers to specialized event professionals.

Oregon-based Classic Rock group, The Rick Jones Band, has a story worth sharing.

Of course, the best marketing tool for event professionals is The Bash (formerly GigMasters). But in terms of your web design, branding

As part of our recent category expansion, we opened the door to professional event planners looking to list their services on The Bash (formerly GigMasters). Now event planners, coordinators, and designers alike can create custom profiles to advertise their businesses to the 30,000 prospective clients on our site daily. Sound good? We thought so!

Think you're making the most of social media? Do you have over 135,000 Twitter followers? Paul Corrigan does.

So who's Paul Corrigan? Paul is a  comedian and the founder of LaughNYC, a New York-based entertainment company. He's been in the comedy circuit for five years and has already built up a loyal following (as evidenced by his 135k Twitter followers). We recently asked Paul about his social media success and his history in the comedy business.

It’s no secret that online reviews can make or break your reputation. This is something that we see every day at The Bash – as clients post (mostly positive) reviews of our members. But, like so many things on the Internet, “reviews” are constantly evolving and phony reviews (positive and negative) are on the rise – (but fortunately not at The Bash).

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." High School History teachers love this phrase. When I was a student it mostly seemed like a trick to get me to care about the Louisiana Purchase, but now I see the importance of learning from the past. With that in mind, we've analyzed a year's worth of data to find the performer and vendor categories that received the most leads in 2012.
