GigTag for tribute acts and impersonators
The show has a look. The booking page should have it too.
A tribute act sells the whole illusion: the wigs, the jacket, the stage patter. A GigTag page can wear the same costume, with a look to match the show, one enquiry form for the events that book you and tips from the fans who just saw you do it.
- A page that matches the show
- One form for event enquiries
- Requests from the die-hards
The problem
The audience stays in character, the enquiries do not
A good tribute night has the crowd singing every word. Afterwards three people ask if you do weddings, one asks if you will play her husband's fiftieth, and a man at the bar wants to know if the band tours. All of it is said above the noise and forgotten by the morning.
Your online presence tends to be a Facebook page that does not look like the show and a mobile number on a flyer. The tribute is a polished act and the booking path is not.
What GigTag does
One code, four jobs done for you
- Free
A page that looks like the show
Choose the colours, the font and the artwork so the page looks like it belongs to the act. The tag on the stand uses the same design. It is your own show, in your own look.
- Free
An enquiry form for the events
Birthdays, corporate nights and festival slots. The form asks for the date, the venue and the occasion, so you can reply with a price and not a list of questions.
- Pro
Requests from fans who know the catalogue
Turn on your song list, which is the set the show covers, and fans send the title they want. You choose what fits the running order. Pick open requests only if you can deliver any of them.
- Pro
More than one show
If you run a second tribute, or the same act in a smaller line-up, add it as another act and switch which one the tag opens. Each has its own page and its own look.
A night with GigTag
A themed night at a hotel
The tag stands beside the monitor in the show's own colours. During the interval a table scans, requests the song the act always closes with and adds a tip. You tell the room you will see what you can do.
At the end an events manager from another hotel scans too. The page lists your next five shows, and the enquiry form takes her date and venue. Your reply is on its way before you have loaded the van.
Set up
Ready before your next gig
- 1

- 3
List your regular bookings as gigs and residencies.
- 4
Use the tag on the stand and on a banner, and keep the enquiry form as the only way to ask about hire.

Questions
GigTag for tribute acts and impersonators: your questions
Does GigTag check I am allowed to use the name or the likeness?
No. Rights and licensing around tribute acts are your responsibility. GigTag only provides the page and the tag.
Can I keep the real name of the band off the page?
Yes. The page uses whatever name and bio you choose. Write the act's name as you would on a poster.
Do we need a page for each member?
Not for a solo impersonator. For a tribute band, a band act lists every member with their own account, which is a Pro feature.
Will it bring in event bookings?
GigTag does not find clients for you. It makes it easy for anyone who has seen the show to send you an enquiry. See function bands for a similar set-up with a bigger line-up.
