Around Kitsap Help - Your Own Individual Calendar

When your organization has it's own individual calendar from Around Kitsap, you'll automatically receive several benefits:

• Save Time - by not duplicating efforts, enter events once and they can appear on both your website and ours. SAMPLE Embedded individual calendar - click here to see a bare bones sample


• Get Marketing - get added exposure for your events in search engines.
• We'll set it up and maintain it. It's a one time setup.
• Customers (and you) can isolate your events.
• Embed YOUR individual calendar into YOUR website - it'll look like it's your calendar and will only have your events.
• Your customers can opt to: receive e-mail reminders, add your events to their calendars, send your events to friends and/or have a text message reminder sent to their cell phone. (Their information remains private, just like all the Around Kitsap calendars.)

How do you get your individual calendar?

WE CREATE IT. WE MAINTAIN IT. WE MARKET IT. IT'S FREE.

Why is it free?
We're about helping the home team. The more successful your events are because of our efforts increases the exposure for your events and our website.

Will it stay free?
Yes.

Is the individual calendar for everybody?
The individual calendar is most effective if your organization has several events per month. It'll be one of the things we'll cover when you contact us and we'll work together to determine what's right for you.

Where would your submitted events appear when you have your own calendar?
Embedded individual calendar - this is bare bones so you can see the basics
Individual Calendar opening into a new window, it's a standard format (Non-embedded)
On the Around Kitsap individual calendar page
On the main Around Kitsap calendar page - sample events are not included

We'll set it up and maintain it.
You'll get the sophistication of a strong calendar program without the huge learning curve or the time involved in setting it up. Our goal is to make it easy for you.

Are you tired of duplicating efforts?
We realize the challenge of marketing on the internet is a balance of exposure verses duplicating efforts.

There is a 5 times greater chance of someone showing up for your events if it's on their schedule. The Around Kitsap calendar makes it easy!

Embed the calendar into your web pages
If you maintain a website, you can easily integrate the two by embedding calendars right into your site. All you have to do is paste the code that we send you into the web page where you want the calendar to appear.

How do you get events onto your calendar?
Submit events like you normally would and we'll take care of the rest.
We'll add a map whenever we can, give it a quick check for typos, distribute the calendar to all the appropriate areas.

Did we mention that it's easy and free?
Just contact us via phone or e-mail and we'll work with you to find what's right for your organization.
