Booking sites and agencies
Entertainers Worldwide gets the enquiry. So can your mic stand.
Every act wants the same thing from a good gig: for someone in the room to book the next one. GigTag makes that easy, with a booking form, your next date and your song list behind one code on the mic stand. If you were looking at Entertainers Worldwide for direct bookings, this is the same idea at the gig itself.
- No app for your audience
- Free to start
- One code that never changes
Why GigTag
Direct bookings at the gig: GigTag beside Entertainers Worldwide
Entertainers Worldwide puts bookers in direct touch with acts they find by searching. GigTag puts your audience in direct touch with you, at the moment they are enjoying the show. The enquiry form is on the free plan, GigTag takes no commission, and the same code handles requests and your next date.
- 1
The enquiry arrives mid-applause
A guest who has just watched you is as warm as an enquiry gets. They scan the tag, fill in the booking form and it reaches your GigTag app before the encore. A directory is built for people searching from a desk. GigTag is built for the ones standing in front of you.
- 2
The form is on the free plan
You do not need Pro to take enquiries. The free plan includes the booking enquiry form, your page, your links, every gig and residency, and the tag design with its print file. GigTag takes no commission on a booking. For what a directory listing involves, see its own site.
- 3
A page that is only about you
When someone scans your tag, the page that opens is yours: your name, your links, your dates, your form. A directory's job is to let bookers look across many acts in a category. Your GigTag does a different job, and holds the attention you earned on stage.
- 4
Requests in a live queue
On Pro, the audience picks from your song list, or asks for anything if you open requests, and you see each request in a live queue on your phone. It keeps a party moving and gives guests a reason to scan. A directory profile is read before the event. This is used during it.
- 5
A code guests can keep
The printed code never changes. A guest who photographs the tag tonight can scan the photo next year and still reach your page, even if you have renamed the act. A directory profile is found by searching. Your tag is found in someone's camera roll, next to their pictures of the night.
In short
Entertainers Worldwide and GigTag, in four lines
- Entertainers Worldwide is a directory where people planning events search for acts and contact them directly.
- GigTag brings direct enquiries from the people watching you, with the booking form on the free plan.
- One scan also gives guests your song list on Pro, your links and your next date to save.
- Our advice: keep the directory profile for searchers, and put a GigTag on your stand at every gig.

Entertainers Worldwide or GigTag
Where GigTag is different from Entertainers Worldwide
A search box versus a mic stand
On Entertainers Worldwide, someone types what they need into a search and finds your profile in its category. With GigTag, nobody searches. The tag is on your mic stand, the person scanning it is listening to you play, and the page that opens is yours alone: your links, your next gig, your enquiry form. Two different starting points, and the second one exists only because you are on stage.
Enquiries while the music is playing
Both keep you in direct contact with the client. The difference is the moment. A directory enquiry comes from someone planning ahead at a desk. A GigTag enquiry comes from a guest who scans the code during your second set because their daughter is getting married in June. It lands in the GigTag app or on the website, the form is on the free plan, and GigTag takes no commission.
What the night itself needs
A gig has needs of its own. People want to request a song, so on Pro they scan and pick from your list, and it joins a live queue on your phone. People want to know when you are back, so your gigs and weekly residencies are on the page, ready to add to a calendar. All of it opens in the browser, with no app or account, from one code on the stand.
A night with GigTag
A tribute act at a private birthday party
A hired hall, a sixtieth birthday, and you are halfway through the first set of your tribute show. The host found your profile online and booked you directly. The tag is on your mic stand. While you change guitars, a group at the back scans it. The page opens in the browser on each phone, nothing to install, and shows your name, your socials and where you play next. You are on Pro, so your song list is there too. The first request lands in the live queue on your phone: the song the birthday table was waiting for.
You save it for the start of the second set. At the interval two people ask whether you do weddings. You tell them the form is on the page they have already scanned. One sends a booking enquiry there and then. The other takes a photo of the tag for later, which works because the code is permanent. When you get home, the enquiry is in the GigTag app. Your public gig next month is on the page as well, and the host's sister adds it to her calendar before the cake is cut.
About Entertainers Worldwide
What is Entertainers Worldwide?
Entertainers Worldwide is a directory for hiring entertainment for weddings, parties and corporate events. Its site is clear that it is a direct bookings platform and not an agency: the booker contacts the act, and the contract is between the two of them. The categories run from live bands, tribute acts, singers and DJs to magicians, children's entertainers, dancers and circus acts, with event services such as photo booths listed too.
A booker searches a category, opens profiles and clicks to request a quote, or sends a general request that acts can answer. Performers build a profile with photos, showreels and audio clips and can update it at any time. A companion site, Entertainers Worldwide Jobs, sends out jobs, gigs and auditions. Its site says that service has delivered them to more than 150,000 performers since 2013.

How Entertainers Worldwide works
- 1
Build a profile. A performer creates a profile with photos, showreels and audio clips, and can edit it at any time. The profile sits in the category that matches the act.
- 2
Bookers request quotes. Someone planning an event searches a category, opens profiles and presses Request a Quote. They can also fill in one general request for acts to answer.
- 3
Agree it in messages. Booker and act talk in a message feed on the site. When the details are settled, the booker presses Confirm Booking there to finalise it.
- 4
Watch the jobs site. Performers can also follow Entertainers Worldwide Jobs, the companion site that sends out jobs, gigs and auditions to performers, with cruise ship work among them.
Who Entertainers Worldwide is for
Weddings and family parties. Wedding entertainment is the first heading on its site, followed by children's parties. A booker can find a wedding band, a singer for the ceremony, a children's magician or a balloon modeller without leaving the directory.
Corporate and Christmas events. There are sections for corporate entertainment and Christmas entertainment, plus virtual entertainment for online events. Comedy acts, magicians, dancers and tribute bands are listed for those, and event services such as caterers, photo booths and mobile bars are in the same directory.
Performers looking for work. Its jobs site is aimed at the acts themselves. It carries jobs, gigs and auditions, with pages for singer jobs, musician jobs and cruise ship entertainment, and an email sign-up so that new postings come to you.
The verdict
GigTag or Entertainers Worldwide: which should you choose?
The bottom line
If you perform live, a GigTag on the stand is the recommendation. The strongest reason is the booking enquiry form on the free plan: people who have just seen you can enquire directly, in the room, and GigTag takes no commission. It will not put you in front of strangers who are searching for an act, so an Entertainers Worldwide profile still earns its keep for that. Use the directory to be found, and GigTag to give each gig a chance of leading to the next.
Easily, and many acts would. Keep the directory profile for bookers who are searching, and reply to their quote requests as you do now. Put the GigTag on your stand at every gig that follows, so one booking can lead to the next without anyone needing to remember your name. After a booking is agreed, GigTag on Pro can send an invoice in your own design.
- Step 1
Keep the directory profile live
Keep your Entertainers Worldwide profile current with recent photos, a showreel and audio clips, and answer each quote request while the booker is still deciding.
- Step 2
Bring the tag to the booking
When a directory booking is agreed, the gig is yours. Put the GigTag on your mic stand so the guests can request songs and find your page.
- Step 3
Follow up from one place
Read new enquiries in the GigTag app after the gig, reply directly and, on Pro, send the invoice once you and the client have agreed terms.

Questions
Entertainers Worldwide and GigTag: what people ask
Something else? Ask us. A person reads every message.
Is GigTag better than Entertainers Worldwide for getting bookings?
They reach different people. Entertainers Worldwide is for bookers who search a directory. GigTag is for people at your gig, who scan the tag and enquire directly while they are still enjoying the set. For a working live act, that second group is close at hand, the form is on the free plan and GigTag takes no commission. Having both covers both groups.
Why use GigTag if I already have an Entertainers Worldwide profile?
Because a directory profile is found by searching, and a tag is in front of your audience. One scan gives them your booking form, your next gig to save, your socials and, on Pro, your song list for requests. Nothing needs installing. Your directory profile carries on working for the people who search online.
Is Entertainers Worldwide an agency?
Its site says no. It describes itself as a directory and direct bookings platform: bookers search for acts, request quotes and deal with the performer directly, and the contract is between the booker and the act. It also runs a jobs site for performers. See its site for how listings work and what they cost.
How do enquiries reach me on GigTag compared with Entertainers Worldwide?
In the directory, a booker finds your profile and requests a quote. With GigTag, someone at your gig scans the code on your mic stand, opens your page and fills in the booking enquiry form. You get it in the GigTag app or on the website and reply directly. The form is part of the free plan.
Does GigTag suit a solo act, duo or band listed on Entertainers Worldwide?
All three. GigTag is built for live acts of any size. The free plan covers one act with its tag design, page, links, gigs, residencies and enquiry form. Pro adds song requests, invoices and more than one act on one account, so you can run a solo set and a band, and band members can join.
Can I use GigTag with an Entertainers Worldwide profile?
Yes. They cover different moments. The directory profile is found by people searching online for an act. The GigTag is scanned by people already at your gig. Neither gets in the way of the other, and a gig that came through the directory is still a room full of people who can scan your tag.
How do bookers contact acts on Entertainers Worldwide?
Its site describes two routes. A booker can open an act's profile and press Request a Quote, or fill in a general request form that acts can answer. The conversation continues in a message feed, where the booker can confirm the booking once everything is agreed. The agreement is made between those two parties.
What is Entertainers Worldwide Jobs?
It is the companion site for performers. Its site says it delivers the latest jobs, gigs and auditions to performers, and it has sections for singer jobs, musician jobs and cruise ship entertainment work, with an email sign-up for new postings. The main directory, by contrast, is where bookers come to find acts.
Can someone book a band by scanning a QR code?
They can send the enquiry that starts it. With GigTag, a guest scans the code on your mic stand, opens your page and fills in the booking enquiry form with their details. You receive it in the GigTag app or on the website and take it from there. GigTag takes no commission on the booking.
Is the GigTag booking enquiry form free?
Yes. The booking enquiry form is part of GigTag's free plan, together with the custom tag design and print file, your page, your links, every gig and residency, and one act. Pro adds song requests, invoices and more than one act. It is £11.99 a month in the UK, AED 30 in the UAE and $15.99 elsewhere.
