EVENTS WEBSITE BUCKS ECONOMIC TREND

Latest figures show that one of the most recent additions to the events market, specialist events website Eventdomain (www.eventdomain.co.uk), is growing its visitor base by over 4% month on month.

Over the past 12 months Eventdomain has attracted 12.5 million searches and, despite the current economic downturn, the Company forecasts that this figure is set to exceed 25 million over the course of the next 12 months.

Launched to service the hugely successful events market in the UK, www.eventdomain.co.uk is looking to double the number of businesses featured on the site from 5000 to 10000 by the end of 2008 with a similar percentage increase projected for the first half of 2009. It is rapidly becoming an important online reference source for companies wishing to stage a corporate event, a conference or a celebration, as well as those companies participating in exhibitions, who need to pinpoint where and how to get the organisational help they need to make the event a success.

Eventdomain features more than 350 categories of business relating to different market sectors within event organisation, everything from event management and staging, through technical aspects such as lighting and sound, to the hiring of hospitality staff and flowers.

Visitors to www.eventdomain.co.uk can source thousands of companies in the UK by county and then identify and locate suppliers of venues, hotels, accommodation, catering, marquees, exhibition stand design, photography, banqueting, gifts, security, limo services – in fact, everything that is needed for any event, large or small. The website provides a comprehensive database crammed with carefully selected event-related contacts.

Eventdomain founder and managing director Chris Given is enthusiastic about the Company’s progress but is not complacent.

“It’s encouraging that 250 suppliers and organisations are adding themselves to the Eventdomain website every month, regardless of what we ourselves are doing,” he says. “But I’m also conscious of the economic slowdown. Companies are cutting budgets, but www.eventdomain.co.uk gives them the capability to look around within any field of event organisation to find a service or supplier that suits their revised budget. It’s interesting to note that 40% of monthly visitors to the site are bookmarking Eventdomain. Hopefully, that will help us to become a ‘must have’ information resource for the event industry.”
