Why so many fields?
To categorize the events, so people can easily find the events
they want to see.
All the information is optional except, Eventname, Startdate and Area, so you can
quickly enter your event.
However, to reach your desired audience most effectively,
you should properly categorize your event.
Categorizing your event helps in a number of ways:
- Pre-defined searches -
when you go to the home page, you can click on
an area or other link to find events for a specific audience,
such as Jewish, 20s-40s in Southeast Florida.
You may have entered a Jewish event, but if you did not mark the religion
field as Jewish, your event would not show up.
- Custom searches - people can search for events on any criteria they choose.
Accurately categorizing your event increases the number of people
in your target audience who see your event.
- Certain information is displayed in the summary and detail sections,
such as "Single parents" and "Female only", which catches attention and
helps people find appropriate events.
- If your organization is an Enhanced Member, the event,
when displayed, is color coded to reflect the type of event.
This works at a subconscious level.
For example, singles events are coded in pink.
People looking for singles events, instinctively associate
pink events as ones in which they are interested.
