Andrew Airelobhegbe, the co-founder/ chief product evangelist of ogaVenue.com.ng doesn’t want anyone hosting an event to break a sweat over a venue.
He knows it’s a pain trying to host an event or finding a venue for an event? It’s a hassle to find a venue that meets your requirements, you waste so much time and effort trying to find the right venue and often, days are wasted with location visits to event venues that aren’t quite right, or that aren’t available for booking during the event’s time.
It’s not a one-sided problem. Venue owners also find it difficult to advertise their venues and at times struggle to get the word out about their venues.
“They face a lot of problems managing payments and most of all this venues suffer low bookings,” says Airelobhegbe.
Enter ogaVenue.
