Instagram Likes Are Cute—But Bookings Pay the Bills
1. The Scrollers vs. the Bookers
Instagram is the world’s biggest waiting room: endless thumb-gymnastics, memes, and motivational quotes. Sure, you might catch a bride-to-be’s eye eventually—but she’s there to unwind, not whip out her debit card.
Naija.Events? Every visitor has one mission: “Help me lock down a vendor—stat.” You’re dropping your stall right in the middle of a buying frenzy, not a casual browsing session. No hashtags, no algorithm mood swings, just pure, high-intent traffic.
2. Be Found in Two Taps (Not Twenty Hashtags)
Smart filters let shoppers zero in on exactly what they need—“₦500k-budget decorator, Surulere, August 15”. Boom. Your listing pops up like destiny. Meanwhile, on Insta you’re buried under #eventplanner #decor #wedslamo and 1.2 million posts of faceless cupcakes.
3. From endless DM back-and-forth to Instant Pay-Day
Forget hunting through DMs, copy-pasting bank details, and praying the receipt isn’t forged. Naija.Events bolts Paystack right into your listing: the customer pays, you get the cash (minus Paystack’s 1.5 % gateway fee), they cover the tiny service charge. Receipts? Auto-generated with a snazzy QR code. Sleep easy.
4. Blue Ticks Are So 2023—Meet the VERIFIED Badge
On Instagram, anyone can buy followers; on Naija.Events you earn trust. Your Pro Plan badge, star ratings, and written reviews sit beside your gallery like a hype squad in tailored agbadas. Credibility you can’t fake—even with the Valencia filter.
5. Hello Google, Goodbye Obscurity
Each listing is a fully SEO-tuned web page that can rank for “caterer in Lekki” while you snooze. Instagram captions? They vanish down the timeline in 24 hours and are about as searchable as your grandma’s photo albums.
6. Tell Your Whole Story—Not Just a 150-Character Bio
Show off unlimited photos, pricing tables, downloadable menus, FAQs, even that heart-warming founder origin story. Try squeezing that into your Insta bio without sounding like a ransom note.
7. Data, Glorious Data
Your dashboard tracks views, enquiries, bookings, and revenue. Likes are great for ego push-ups, but they don’t tell you which post actually closed the ₦2 m wedding gig. Naija.Events does.
8. Free Marketing (AKA “Your New Hype-Man”)
Spotlights, homepage features, newsletters, IG shout-outs (yes, we use the ‘Gram too)—all included. You don’t pay extra or dance with Meta’s ad manager at 2 a.m.
9. Built for Naija, by Naija
Need a contract template in Naira? Got a Paystack glitch? Real humans with real Nigerian accents are a phone call away. Instagram’s “Help Center”? Enjoy your hold music.
10. Price Tag That Won’t Make You Gasp
Starter Listing—absolutely free.
Pro Vendor—₦30 k/year gets you the VERIFIED badge, booking calendar, Store tab, higher ranking, and serious swagger. That’s less than one medium Jollof platter per month.
Keep the Double-Tap. Secure the Deposit.
Inspire on Instagram—close on Naija.Events. Your next booking could be one filter-click away, but only if you plant your flag where serious planners shop.
