From Tumbleweeds to Timelines: How Yodel Rounds Up Your Community Events

Sports Leagues with Yodel Event Tool

Community events on autopilot with Yodel AI. 

If we were to look at Yodel from a folksier perspective, what would we say? Saddle up and say hello to Yodel, your AI powered event wrangler. 

Close your eyes. Now let’s envision that you are managing a tourism bureau or chamber of commerce website. It reflects pride in tradition, and strength of community spirit. Yet behind the scenes, assembling and updating your event calendar feels like chasing tumbleweeds on a windy day. You are gathering flyers, reading, responding and sending emails, and missing opportunities as you work to ensure the calendar of events is current and relevant. That’s where Yodel rides in to save the day.

Yodel transforms your entire business day with fully automated event aggregation. While you focus on business Yodel’s AI is scouring the internet for local happenings such as festivals, farmers’ markets, live music, sporting events, charities, and more. Then these events are added neatly to your website. The need for the manual chasing down events or concern about duplicate postings is eliminated. 

Yodel ensures always fresh content without the sweat of details. Your calendar updates itself so it is always brimming with the latest. And that keeps your community—and visitors—engaged without lifting a finger. And over the course of the year this could save you hundreds of staff hours.community-events-yodel-ai

Whether you’re a tourism bureau, chamber of commerce, hotel, community app, or non-profit, Yodel can be tailored to meet your unique needs while putting your audience front and center.

Here’s where Yodel really shines for folks who cherish tradition and community reflected in a well curated event calendar. Instead of staff chasing event submissions, Yodel does the heavy lifting. That’s more time for telling stories, supporting local businesses, and building your reputation as the go-to resource for things to do.

Think about the countless hours your staff spends just trying to keep up. Flyers arrive late, social media posts are missed, and event details change without notice. That’s not just frustrating—it’s costly. Research shows that communities with vibrant event calendars see up to a 25% increase in local spending, and over 80% of travelers plan trips around events. Missing even a few listings means lost opportunities for your members, your visitors, and your bottom line. Yodel eliminates that risk by ensuring your Community Calendar is always accurate, always fresh, and always brimming with reasons to visit, explore, and engage.

Sustain that dedication to the community, but smarter. Your site can stay true to its roots—promoting historic tours, parades, and festivals—but powered by AI. You save hours without losing that personal touch.

This is a new way to engage tourists and locals alike. A traveler planning their next road trip or a local looking to join in the fun, they both find what they need, right on your site. And that boosts loyalty, visits, and revenue. When your calendar is current and inviting people stick around longer. And they will return more often. 

As Yodel is a relatively new asset, it hasn’t been extensively reviewed for tourism use yet, but traveler testimonials are painting a useful picture. Folks who want to stay connected, and thanks to Yodel, they do.

Putting Yodel to work on your website is easy. Plug it in, Yodel integrates smoothly with many website platforms and apps. That eliminates potential tech headaches.

Then turn it loose. Once live, Yodel continuously updates itself. That will keep your site current, inviting, and compelling.

With events auto curated, your team can re-channel their efforts into community development initiatives and the fostering of strategic partnerships. And your website visitors get more relevant, vibrant content, and you become the trusted local source that people return to when planning a weekend or vacation.

 Yodel doesn’t change your passion for the community, it super-charges it. It’s like having a trusty sidekick who never sleeps. It gathers events day and night. And so, your site shines, your community stays informed, and your team spends time where it really matters.
