I’m a big fan of creating stories from what we achieve and what we experience. Over the last few months I’ve been trying to come up with different ways we can build achievements in to GigStamp.
Once we’ve finished the current round of work on allowing you to take photos to put into your GigStamp we will be rolling out the first of our more community features called “Collectives”. Collectives will be a way of us music fans to rally together. Are your mates trying to get to all gigs on a tour for your favourite artist? Do you have a regular group who get out regularly?
We have just got back from an amazing weekend at Camden Crawl, an amazing urban festival with lots of great up-and-coming new artists gigging in pubs and clubs around Camden, London. Urban festivals are where I think GigStamp really shines, we created some bespoke artwork for festival’s gigs which came with a great ticket-like share post to user’s twitter and facebook streams.
With awareness and activity starting to build inside the app I’ve started the process of building stats and charts in to GigStamp. I’m excited as we start to imagine what the user, artist and venue pages might have on them and also what tools we can give people to be able to promote themselves and see how well they are doing.
I feel like I’ve been in my little hole for months now … oh yeah it has been, since October! I’ve been beavering away in my evenings building a simple idea:
I’m a music fan, how can I collect and remember the gigs I’ve been to?
Together with Gordon Duncan who came up with the original idea I have been building GigStamp.
The check-in app for music fans
The app is really very simple on the surface. It finds you at a gig, you choose some stamp artwork, add a message and boom … you have your stamp.
