From Local Praise Night to Nationwide Impact: The Power of Shows.ng

When a gospel event organiser in Lagos dreamt of filling a venue with people from across Nigeria, it felt like a big ask. But with the right tools and strategy, that dream became reality all thanks to Shows.ng.

Let’s break down how it happened, and what other event planners in Nigeria can learn from it.

The Challenge: Moving Beyond Local Awareness

Before using Shows.ng, the event mainly pulled crowds from Lagos and nearby areas. Flyers, church announcements, and word-of-mouth could only do so much. The goal was bigger: to attract attendees from Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, and even the North. But how?

The Solution: Going Digital with Shows.ng

The organisers listed their event on Shows.ng, giving them instant visibility on a platform used by event lovers across Nigeria. Within days, the gospel concert gained traction. Why? Because:

The event page looked professional – complete with videos, artist profiles, and detailed info.

People could buy tickets online easily, even from outside Lagos.

The platform promoted the show across its channels, giving it a national spotlight.

Key Features That Made a Difference

Multiple Ticket Options: From early bird discounts to VIP passes, attendees could choose what worked for their budget.

Smooth Payment System: Whether using bank cards or transfers, ticketing was fast and stress-free.

Data Insights: The organisers could track where buyers were coming from, helping them plan targeted promotions.

The Result: A Gospel Event That Reached Nigeria

By the event day, over 60% of ticket holders were from outside Lagos. People flew in, travelled by bus, and booked hotels , just to be part of the worship experience. That night, the praise wasn’t just loud, it was national.
