Hotel Cafe
www.hotelcafe.com
Overall, the website is clean and has a classy feel to it. It is simple and does not use a lot of colors. The website is effective and informative. While it's mostly a singer/songwriter venue, the first page of the site gives more of a jazz club feel to it:
Calls to Action
Audience/Demographic
From the look of the website and the artists who play it seems to appeal to a slightly older, 25-40 demographic. This is mostly due to the sophistication of the site, and the lack of bright colors, which often are used to appeal to a younger audience.
What Sold & Where
You are able to click to buy tickets from both the front page, as well as on the main page (shown above). They have a simple ticket purchasing process. When you click on "tickets" it immediately takes you to a list of upcoming shows:
After selecting the artist you wish to see you're immediately asked Quantity, then you enter payment information for a total of 2 clicks. Excellent!
What Sold and Where
They seem to have only tickets for sale on their website.
Relative Value/Image
It's a small club that does not take reservations, and it features mostly up-and-coming singers/songwriters. For that particular niche it's a decent value with a good image that appeals to musicians who would play there.
