WOW247 is the new website that has been launched by Johnston Press, the publishing company behind local newspaper, The Falkirk Herald. The website will list local and national events with up to 500,000 listings covering a broad range of events, from films, theatre and cinema to live music, comedy and food.
The group editorial director for Johnston Press is Paul Napier. Paul spoke about the launch of WOW247, saying:
“We’ve created WOW247 with the wishes of the audience and the needs of the advertisers clearly in mind. People coming to WOW247 will find a huge, rich database of events which is easy to search and gives all the information anyone could need to take part in a leisure activity. On top of that, there will be lots of previews, reviews and opportunities for the audience to share their thoughts on what they’ve seen and enjoyed - or not - as well as publicising their own events.”
Whilst events websites are essential in this day and age, they will continue to work hand in hand with more traditional means of promotion, such as poster or flyer printing. Falkirk residents will now have the choice of finding out about regional and national events in the way that is the most convenient to them, whether this is online or in a printed format.
