Things we’ll need for an effective event listing:
Name of event
URL of Facebook event listing (remember it needs to be set to "Public”)
Names of all branches that are hosting/co-hosting
Contact info for the event’s autocrat – name, email, etc., however that person wishes to be contacted for questions
Start date and time, end date and time
Location – full address, please, and include a business or site name of where it’s hosted
Description of the event – what’s the purpose? Give us the sales pitch that should go with it.
Gate information – fees for entry, feast, and parking, as applicable
Parking information – onsite? offsite? restrictions?
Are there going to be merchants/vendors? How do people register to vend? Contact info for your merchant coordinator?
Schedule of events – Days, times, who’s holding the activity/class, description, cost if applicable, required supplies to bring, etc.
Any special event or site rules (ex: no dogs; 21+ only; no smoking in certain areas; etc.)
In addition to all of the information, have a good cover photo for the event ready. This is used as a thumbnail for the event on the site, and may also display as a top/title banner on the event page here on the site. A good, clean, high-res graphic works best. Wide format is best for the banner, but remember that thumbnails may crop to a more square format, so having a focal point is best. You won’t be able to attach your file when you use the contact form, but you include a link to where the picture is hosted online, or you can send it over with a follow up email (include what event the picture is supposed to go with in the subject line).
Generally, the more information you have up-front for us, the better!
