🎯 The Challenge

As a small publisher and greeting card company, Thistle & Tale Press needed a steady stream of events—book fairs, art shows, and vendor markets—to build awareness and sell directly to customers.

But event discovery was a manual, time-consuming process that often led to missed opportunities. Additionally, promoting each event across email and social channels took up valuable time, making it difficult to maintain consistent marketing.

⚡ The Solution

We developed a fully automated event discovery and marketing system that transforms how Thistle & Tale Press finds and promotes events:

🔍
