GigTools
Booking software for hypnotists, emcees and variety acts.
College shows, corporate events, fairs, festivals, cruises and private parties. GigTools keeps every booking and every detail in one place, whatever your act.
Unique acts, the same business headaches.
Many markets at once
Colleges, corporate events, fairs and cruise lines all book differently and on different timelines.
Specific requirements
Stage setups, volunteer seating, timing and technical needs vary from show to show.
Hard to explain in an email
A unique act sells best on video, and bookers need to see it quickly.
Built for acts that don't fit a template
Hypnotists, emcees, jugglers, ventriloquists, mentalists, circus and variety performers all share one thing: no two bookings look quite the same. GigTools gives each show its own record with the client, venue, times, stage setup, technical needs, audience details, fee, travel and signed agreement.
Book across every market you work
College activities boards, corporate planners, fair and festival buyers and cruise lines each have their own seasons and expectations. Keep them all organized with their full history, use email templates for each kind of buyer, and let booking requests from your page land in your Inquiries. Booking campaigns that send your avails to a whole contact list are coming soon.
Let your video do the selling
Variety acts sell best when bookers can see them. Your GigTools act page gives you a bio, headshots and several titled reels, so one link shows a college board the student show and a corporate planner the clean awards-night version.
Keep every detail of every gig
From volunteer chairs to microphone types, from deposits to balances due, everything about each booking lives in one place and is ready when you need it on show day.
Questions from hypnotists & variety acts
My act needs a specific stage setup. Can I track that?
Yes. Each gig keeps its own details and notes, so stage setup, seating and technical requirements stay with the booking.
I work colleges, fairs and corporate events. Can I keep them separate?
Yes. Mark each company as a client, venue or booking source, and see every gig and conversation with each one. Booking campaigns that send each market its own pitch are coming soon.
Is GigTools only for solo performers?
No. Acts are contacts in GigTools, so you can manage a solo act, a duo or several acts you represent.
