We were recently able to chat with Tomas Bonderud of Big Ben Stand Up, one of Stockholm’s oldest standup comedy clubs!
Online visibility for a standup comedy club is a priority, because as any local business it not only relies on referrals and word of mouth, but also on local online searches in order to increase foot traffic and ticket sales.
This Stockholm-based company is also a restaurant, bar and nightclub! It has something for everyone and needs to transmit that to it’s potential audience. Let’s see how they improved their online visiblity with marketgoo.
