Managing a community events calendar can feel like a full-time job. Whether you’re with a chamber of commerce, tourism bureau, news organization, or CVB/DMO, keeping up with local event submissions, formatting listings, and making updates is time-consuming and often overwhelming.
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be an easier way to manage our events calendar” – you’re right. And it doesn’t involve lowering your standards or outsourcing to a disconnected third party.
At Yodel, we help organizations like yours eliminate manual work while increasing the quality and volume of events on your website.
Why Manual Event Management Fails
Relying on email submissions, online forms, and manual entry just isn’t scalable. You spend hours copying and pasting event details, only to end up with:
- Incomplete or outdated listings
- A calendar that rarely includes new or diverse organizations
- Broken links or incorrect times
- Low engagement due to a lack of fresh content
And, let’s face it… if your local event calendar isn’t comprehensive or reliable, your community won’t keep coming back to use it.
