Business Idea:
A user-friendly platform that converts festival schedules from social media posts into dynamic, auto-updating calendar files (.ics), making event planning seamless and hassle-free for festival-goers.
Problem:
Attendees struggle with clunky, outdated mobile websites and manual schedule management during festivals, leading to missed events and frustration.
Solution:
Create a tool that parses festival announcements on X/Twitter, generating customizable, auto-updating .ics calendar files that can be easily imported into any calendar app.
Target Audience:
Festival attendees, concert-goers, event organizers, and music fans who want streamlined access to schedules and personalized planning.
Monetization:
Offer free basic calendar generation with premium features such as personalized alerts, custom integrations, or branded event calendars through subscription plans or one-time payments.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Simplifies festival scheduling by automating calendar creation from social media chatter, providing real-time updates and a smoother user experience compared to static websites or manual input.
Launch Strategy:
Start by building a minimal viable product (MVP) that scrapes scheduled posts and generates .ics files. Test with a few festivals, gather user feedback, then create a simple landing page to promote the tool and collect early sign-ups.
