There are three main ways you can promote your event beyond our standard event listings and search:
- Comment and Poll Inserts
- Inviting Friends Without Accounts
- Group Sharing
Comment and Poll Inserts
Anywhere you are able to comment or answer polls, we include a feature called, “Inserts”. These Inserts can help you promote your event with your friends, and the IPartee community in your area. Here’s what it looks like for comments:
Once you click the Event link in the upper right hand corner, a lightbox will open and allow you to select an event to insert into your comment:
Once you’ve inserted your event and finalized your comment, your comment will look like this:
Besides inserting events into comments, you can also insert them into poll answers. It’s a great way to reach beyond your friends. For example, if you visit the Polls page for your city, you may find people asking questions like, “What’s going on this weekend?” or “Are there any hip-hop events tomorrow?” If you can find a Poll that is related to your event, you can answer it with an insert for your event.
Inviting Friends Without Accounts
IPartee allows you to invite your friends to events even if they don’t have an account. All you have to do is add them to your contact list and they’ll show up when it’s time to send invites. If you forget, we always have a link to import more on the invites page:
Your friends will receive their invitation via the e-mail you provide, and they’ll even be able to RSVP to private events. If you use this feature often, it’s probably best you keep your contact list up-to-date. You can reach your contacts page from your profile using a link on the left hand side. You can also organize your contacts into categories so you can invite them to an event more easily and quickly.
Group Sharing
Groups make event discovery easy — people join groups that match their interests, and use them to follow events, venues and polls related to those interests. If you’re managing a group, you can Share Events, which will post the event on the group page as well as invite all the members to attend (if the event is private). This is what it looks like:
