 | Simon M.( 30s, Male, United Kingdom )Very interesting to see the debate this has caused. In response to the comments… Putting our events on Ebay was really a bit of fun – out of 20 dates at the venue we have 4 remaining. It has had the desired effect, and created interest in our product via an (as yet) unused medium. We never really expected anyone to buy an entire event through their paypal account, the advert encourages potential clients to contact us for a viewing… Katie P – I dont think this has ‘de-valued’ our product at all, we will still offer the same excellent quality as we have done for the last 5 years at this venue. I think ‘a bit of fun’ is nearer the mark. What is has done, is given us some very valuable PR which was the original aim. In these very difficult times for our industry, there is no point in hoping business will come to you, which is why we use Facebook, Twitter and now Ebay to help promote our events. By the way, we now only have three dates left if anyone is interested! Simon
