A new mobile app is to be released from the VenuePromo Lab. Unlike other event apps already in use on the google or apple stores, VenuePromo goes beyond listing events near the user. People who downloaded the app will set their profile according to their interests. The categories featured on the first version are Movies Online, Movies in the Cinema, Live concerts, Live Stand Up Comedy Shows, Traditional Gatherings and Live Theater events. After users select their preferences, when events matching their interests come in town, they receive push notification with details such as event location, date, contact person and description of the event. The Founder of VenuePromo Lab, Gedion Yitbarek, said the second version is already being designed before the release date of the first version, to include ticket sales, where users just show an e-ticket bought directly on the app to enter venues without hustle. As Promoter Betsega Hailu mentioned to our reporter, VenuePromo will be the next generation notification system that respects the need of the users by avoiding spamming.
