Several third party sites such as BlackBook, Army of One and Brooklyn Vegan have posted select video performances from Gander, resulting in even more exposure for the artists and the venues by increasing website traffic and brand recognition.
The set-up is easy and unobtrusive because it is controlled remotely. In addition to handling the installation, software and quality assurance of video and audio, Gander stays engaged with their clients from scheduling and promoting events, to leveraging social media.
Lincoln Schofield, Talent Buyer of the prestigious New York City venue, The Cutting Room commented, "Gander capitalizes on the social outreach of artists to broaden the venue's brand. It's a great addition to the services we offer our performers to expand and connect with their audiences."
"The reception from the marketplace has been amazing. We are seeing an ever growing audience, with our traffic growing over 1700% since the end of last year.
