Frequently Asked Questions

Find out more about what makes LampPost unique in the events space.

What is LampPost and why should I subscribe?

LampPost is the only comprehensive source for events in Victoria. Our website and newsletter compiles all of the events going on around town and puts it into just a 5-minute read, saving you hours of scrolling through social media and different sources to find events you'll enjoy.  

If I subscribe, how many emails can I expect?

Not to worry, we're not going to flood your inbox with spam or low-quality content. We only send two weekly emails - one on Sunday and one on Thursday, both at 7pm sharp.

What type of events are included in the newsletter?

We include all the events going on in Victoria and categorize them to make it easy for you to find the events you're interested in, such as sports & athletics, live music, creative events, workshops, community happenings, and many more!

How do you find the events listed in the newsletter?

We scour anywhere from 20-40 different sources, scroll social media, and hit up our connections around town to make sure we have a comprehensive list. Each post takes ~4-6 hours of searching different platforms.

I want to get more involved with LampPost. How?

You're in luck! Our LampPost cohorts are the perfect solution for anyone looking to get more involved or meet great new people. These groups are designed to build a more personal & intimate connection with a small group of people. The group remains the same over the span of three months with bi-weekly events based on the group's interests.

Check out our ad offerings

Do you only advertise events?

We offer advertising for a variety of clients, including local service-based businesses, restaurants & bars, and activity-oriented establishments.

What kind of audience do you have?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit id venenatis pretium risus euismod dictum egestas orci netus feugiat ut egestas ut sagittis tincidunt phasellus elit etiam cursus orci in. Id sed montes.

Why should I advertise with LampPost instead of Google or Meta?

While it's true we don't offer the size of audience available from larger advertising platforms, what we do offer is a much more valuable & engaged audience. Fewer but more active eyeballs often drive better results, and that's the case with advertising on LampPost - our 1-4% ad engagement easily beats larger platforms with less than 1% average engagement on ads.

There's also a lot of work that goes into doing ads right on Meta & Google. Targeting the right audience for your brand, finding long-tail, low competition keywords - this all takes a lot of work. With LampPost, advertising takes 5 minutes and you can be sure about the audience that will see it.
