Promoting Events through Eventful May 7, 2009
In a Nutshell: Promote events through Eventful; view upcoming events for your region/city; rally together and demand that events/performers come to your hometown. I’m using Eventful (in tandem with other sites) to help keep tabs on what’s happening here in Kingston.
I just wrapped up my last few classes a couple of weeks ago. Since then I’ve been trying to get my head out of the “I’m a student” mode and back into the “I’m trying to figure out where I go from here” mode.
One particular subject is topping my list of priorities: I need to get out into the community and see what’s going on. What bands are performing downtown on Friday? What stores are having sales? Is there a public event taking place that I should know about?
The traditional way of finding this information would involve checking the community spotlight pages of the local daily newspaper, or poking through posters that have been pinned to community bulletin boards. But newspapers really aren’t a part of my routine. I’m always connected to the web, though – whether it be from home or through my phone, and eventually from work as well – so I’d rather have the information come at me through that medium.
This is where Eventful comes in. Although the service is oriented primarily towards performers, the service can also be utilized to promote pretty much any kind of event.
As a registered user, you are also able to receive weekly event updates for your area. (For example: I know that it’s Pizza Friday this week at Watertown High School, and Arlo Guthrie is performing at the Grand Theatre on Sunday.)
Are there any sites that you use on a regular basis to keep tabs on local events? Leave a comment if you do!
