DO:
- send me your information in a text message. I can copy & paste
text email.
- put the important information at the top of the mesage so I can
prioritize the message.
- do make sure your Facebook page can be read by people who *aren't*
on Facebook.
-
DO NOT:
- send me press releases or long newsletters. It takes a long time
to read through them to get the information I need.
- send just graphics with embedded information. I can't cut & paste
from graphics and I'm more likely to make a mistake with them.
- expect me to get the information from your website.
Editor's Note:
I recently timed how long it took to get the street
address off someone's website because they left it out in the email. Took about 45 seconds
out of my life.
Imagine having to do that with every calendar listing I get?
Bottom line:
if you are a dance teacher, organizer, or otherwise
promoter, it's in your best interest (and your job) to get your information to me as
soon as possible and in a clear format so it takes very little effort
and time for me to put it into the webpages. I provide a free venue to
promote your event to thousands (actually, *tens* of thousands) of people
every month. Take advantage of that. Unless I know you well and I attend
your event, I have no reason to care whether you succeed or fail so make it
convenient to take time out of my day to type your information into these
pages.
