TheCEOApp team ·
Running a comedy & performing arts business in Nigeria means keeping track of a lot at once: what you sold, who still owes you, what's left on the shelf and what came in today. TheCEOApp is a business app built in Nigeria that puts all of that on your phone, in the words of your trade.
This guide shows how comedy & performing arts businesses use TheCEOApp day to day.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example show ticket, and services like comedy show booking, stage play and acting class. Suggestions for a comedy & performing arts come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the client on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by ticket, show and event. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the client wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out.
Track each job from start to finish
Every job moves through your own steps (typically 1 day), with the deposit, costs and profit beside it:
- Booked
- Planning
- Event day
- Wrap-up
