Use Event Calendars to Increase Event Registration

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 by Cvent Staff
Planners are constantly faced with the challenge of increasing event attendance. An easy way to help you increase your event registration is to utilize an event calendar.

Event calendars hold many benefits. First, they allow invitees the flexibility of selecting a time and date that best fits their schedule. Perhaps your invitation listed a seminar as being held on Tuesday at 2 PM. Rather than say "No" to your event, an invitee with a schedule conflict can view the event calendar and sign up for the same seminar being held Thursday at 11 AM.

Event calendars also allow you to reach people who are not on your invite list but who visit your website. These visitors can read about your event, view the calendar and register online. You can access a large audience of event registrants this way—ones you wouldn't be reaching without an online calendar.

Cvent's Event Management software comes equipped with the ability to place an event calendar on your website. Just as Cvent uses its own event budget module when planning our events, we use event calendars on our own website to boost event attendance. Registrants can select event days and times that fit their schedules.

For example, in some cities we host multiple luncheons. In order to make the most of our visit to these locations and get the maximum event attendance, we offer an event calendar with a choice of dates and times.

Using Cvent's Event Calendar functionality, you can choose which events you want displayed and include symbols to differentiate various types of events; Networking Events, Chapter Meetings, Best Practice Seminars, or Webinars can be distinguished at a glance. Provide listings of events over the next week, month or even upcoming year. Plus, Cvent's Event Calendars are easily customizable to match the look and feel of your existing website.

Event calendars are a quick and simple tool that goes a long way in getting results. Consider using one for your upcoming events, and start seeing increased event registration.
