Last fall, we partnered with our friends at the International Association of Fairs & Expos (IAFE) to launch a new kind of event calendar called Fairs Everywhere.

It’s hard to believe 2012 is going by so fast and it’s already May.  Many of you are putting the finishing touches on this year’s event while others have already started working on 2013! While you’re in planning mode, we wanted to offer a quick video tutorial to remind you just how easy it is to update your event’s listing.

And remember, if you upload at least one photo we will feature your event on our homepage as your event approaches!  You can’t beat free advertising, right?

I want to take a minute to encourage you to update your listing on our site, because customers are using this tool every single day!  In fact, sometimes people call our office to find out information about your events, and our first stop is your Fairs Everywhere listing!

So, what can you do to improve your listing?

    1. Add a great photo!  As your event approaches, if you have added a photo to your listing, we will feature you on the homepage.
    2. Keep your dates current.  Whether your 2012 event has passed or is right around the corner, making sure we have the most accurate information possible is the best way to give your potential customers information.
    3. Provide an accurate description of your event.  Nobody knows your event like you do, so don’t be afraid to brag a little!  Talk about the pieces of your event that make it unique.

If you have questions about your Fairs Everywhere listing, please just let our staff know.  We will help in any way possible.
