Somewhat surprisingly, mere flyers for your local community event are more expensive than you might consider. Sure, the cost is still insignificant relative to other forms of advertising but consider alone, the time spent formatting a poster in Word or Powerpoint let alone bringing it to Kinko’s to have them take care of it for you.

Your event listing on Zvents not only syndicates the details through our Media Network (promoting your event in most local media and related websites), we design and deliver a poster format with all the pertinent details.

Make no mistake, we realize this is a minor convenience but a convenience none-the-less! Just click “Print” from the event’s page on our site we reformat the design with the pertinent details of the event using an image, description, date and time, and address and phone number which you can print by the thousands to plaster around town. But wait! There’s more! We’ve integrated the same map users find when the discover your event through our site and allow you to choose from nearby restaurants, parking, or bars/clubs to highlight on the map helping your guests join the fun.

We’ve been cooking up new ways to promote local businesses and events, and we’re thrilled (exhausted and relieved!) to announce that the Enhanced Listings beta period is officially open.

What are Enhanced Listings?
A new way to make your event or venue listings stand out from basic listings, and benefit from enhanced features and design options.

By upgrading your Basic Listing to an Enhanced Listing, you can:

• Tailor your marketing messages with special offers, news and announcements and promo codes
• Appear prominently in search results with a colorful, highlighted listing
• Increase brand awareness by adding your company logo
• Upload a video ad, commercial, or virtual tour
• Stylize your listing with colorful custom graphics
• Enhance your brand experience by removing advertisements or user reviews

We offer two packages - and Enhanced Detail Page package and a Search Results package. You can also add additional upgrades, such as removing ads and user reviews, or adding custom graphics to the border on your listing.

Here’s an example of an Enhanced Detail Page Package for Sibby’s Cupcakery in San Mateo:

The Search Results Package highlights your listing in search results:

For a limited time (a few weeks, most likely), you can create Enhanced Listings for your business, venue or events - for free! Join the beta now.

And remember…every listing created on Zvents is shared with our growing 250+ Zvents Media Network partners too.

Chuck is an industry guy we’re anxious to meet, not the event marketing industry, internet marketing. Not only can he add some appeal to the (to some) dry topic of online marketing but he is so talented as a musician and rap artist that he has our recommendation as a performer at one of your events. Let’s let him take the stage first while sharing some tips on how to leverage paid search marketing:

Working 9 to 5 with Houston, TX interactive marketing services provider Pop Labs, Chuck moonlights as founder of Mo Serious Entertainment. While he is more likely to appeal to those of you looking for online marketing speakers, his talent seems to shine on stage; he’s worth a look whatever your need.

Chuck, if you are ever in San Mateo, give us a call, we’d love to help.
