Event Boosters

New Jersey Stage is built around our event calendar. These are individual web pages that contain all of the information about the show that the venue lists on their website with a link to purchase tickets from the venue. These pages help increase the show’s exposure in search engines and A.I.

Shows in the New Jersey Stage event calendar are only available to our advertisers. They are spotlighted in our Events of the Week columns each Tuesday (always one of our most read articles of the week) and appear on every page of the website. Individual event boosters also come with preview articles about the event, which are spotlighted in our Events of the Week columns as well.

One of the most important benefits is having your events appear whenever someone reads an article taking place in a particular town. For example: let's say your event takes place in New Brunswick. Your event will be listed in a group of event listings after every article about an event taking place in New Brunswick (if the event takes place that day or is one of the next 5 listings for the town). This is a great way to promote your events to people already looking for arts events in the area!

You can purchase an event page for $10 and event pages come with every banner ad purchase.

NewJerseyStage.com has been around since 2014 with well over 35,000 articles in its archives. This has helped us earn a good reputation with search engines that we utilize to help "boost" events. Having your shows listed with us helps increase their visibility and search engine ranking.


 

FEATURED EVENTS


Absolutely unique and utterly original, this fearless, powerful company reigns from France, Algeria, and beyond. Combining contemporary and urban dance movements, capoeira, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography, the dancers defy gravity. Inspired by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra’s novel, What The Day Owes To The Night traces Koubi’s own personal lineage as a French-Algerian choreographer. After learning about his family’s Algerian roots, Koubi returned to the country of his ancestors to collaborate with streetdance performers from across the Mediterranean basin. What emerged is “a creation of poetic beauty” (The New York Times), a meditative yet strikingly athletic work about the ties that bind us.
