Cross-promote with other organizers
The cheapest new audience you will ever reach is one someone else already spent years building. Cross-promotion is the trade: your event in front of their crowd, theirs in front of yours, and a clean swap can double your reach for the price of a favor.
Find a real fit, not a rival
Partner with organizers whose audience overlaps yours but who are not fighting you for the same night. Their warm crowd is your cheapest reach, and yours is theirs. Same audience, different events, zero competition is the sweet spot.
Make the swap even and clean
Trade a story mention, an email shout-out, or a shared code, and spell out what each side gives up front so it feels fair and nobody quietly keeps score. The partnerships that last are the ones where both sides clearly win.
Track exactly what it brought
Hand your partner a unique short link or discount code so you can see precisely how many sales the swap drove. Then do more of whatever worked and drop whatever did not. A partnership you cannot measure is a favor, not a channel.
