Comparisons

How does EventsGalore.net measure up with other methods of publicizing events? Here are comparisons to some of them.

Method	Problems	EventsGalore.net's Solution
Static events calendar on the web.	Out-of-date events are at the top, requiring the user to scroll down. There is often no means of selectively viewing certain kinds of events. Static calendars are sometimes poorly designed, and difficult to view. Viewer may forget about events when they leave the page, and probably won't visit the page very often.	Current events are always at the top. Viewer can opt to show events in a certain category. Viewing is improved by use of colors and very little wasted screen space. Viewer may request e-mail reminders of events, which are sent out a couple of days before each event. There's never a need to re-visit the page, since they will continue to automatically receive reminders.
Paper events calendars mailed to members of an organization.	Generally, only members of the organization receive calendars, so turnout is dependant on the same pool of people every time.	EventsGalore.net calendars can be viewed by anyone! An organization can save the cost of printing and mailing their calendar by directing members to their online calendar, and/or continue to mail paper calendars using printouts of their online calendar.
Send e-mail (using your address book) to interested parties.	While using an e-mail list is an effective way of getting the word out about events, it has the same problem as paper calendars: only those on the list are notified of the event. It's also a manual process, and everyone gets the notice at the same time.	EventsGalore.net automatically sends e-mail reminders a few days before an event. (Users will eventually be able to choose how many days this is.) Also, it's easier to subscribe to an EventsGalore.net calendar compared to a private e-mail list, so they're more likely to do so. And depending on your e-mail client, you may be able to cut and paste your e-mail list into EventsGalore.net and subscribe everyone at once!
Advertise events using traditional media.	Generally expensive, especially to have any detail about the event.	Very affordable to have a calendar on EventsGalore.net. Length of description can be as detailed as desired, and not cost any more.

In addition to the above, EventsGalore.net will eventually show events happening in a certain area, so EventsGalore.net will be assisting in publicizing your events. Users will be able to enter their zip code (or part of their zip code), and a list of all local calendars will appear.

EventsGalore.net... a better way to connect people and events!
