Advertise your event...
Submit your Willunga Events, Clubs,
Meetings, Notices...
Willunga's events website,
www.WillungaFestivals.com
and Willunga's monthly newsletter, "Willunga News... IN-A-NUT-SHELL"...
are dedicated specifically to the Willunga
township & district and most importantly the people, past and present
who make it unique. They inform you of the festivals, events and
activities that happen in and around Willunga. "IN-A-NUT-SHELL"
is the Willunga newsletter available FREE from Willunga businesses by the
first week of each month. The deadline for In-a-Nut-shell
is the 20th of each month at 9pm.
To add
your events, club, meetings or notices to
Willunga's websites and In-a-Nut-shell
simply e-mail or call Rilda.
If you have suggestions,
corrections or thoughts about Willunga's website and/or newsletter we want to
hear from you too...
How to submit your event, club, meeting, notice...
1. Email is preferred, as this saves us time,
2. If you are unfamiliar with computers or have
poor typing skills, ask a member of your organization or a friend to type your
"copy" and Email it to us,
3. The Willunga Library has computer and Email
facilities,
4. If you have any problems or questions, please
call Rilda.
Submit your event early...
1. WillungaFestivals.com will list your
event twelve months in advance, so submit your event as soon as you have a date.
This gives international and national visitors time to plan their stay in
Willunga. Your event will be updated as you supply additional information,
2. If you submit your event 12 months in
advance, your sponsors enjoy two years FREE advertising.
3. The earlier you submit your information
for the monthly InaNutshell the easier it is for our voluntary staff.
Information content...
1. Direct your article to the visitor,
2. Use words like "you", "your" and "the".
Avoid using "we", "I", "us" and "our",
3. Your "event name" and "Willunga" are your primary key
words and should take up approximately 10% of your word content (to improve your
rating with search engines like Google or Yahoo)
3. Keep information to the point, and when you have
"finished" check through your text and remove unnecessary words (on websites
less is more),
4. Your purpose is to "sell" your event, so make it
exciting and inviting,
5. Follow the format and styles used on relevant pages of
websites or the InaNutshell
as your guide,
6. Finally, getting 3 people to proof-read your article
before submitting it to us, is always a good policy. They should
particularly look for grammatical errors and general readability. Don't be
afraid to ask them for ideas... you will end up with a better article,
7. E-mail us if you have photos which you think
could be of use. They may be able to be used.
Major
Events, Fairs or Festivals...
Provide a full chronological programme for the
event, with directions or map of where each section is taking place. List
all sponsors, no matter how small for all sections of the Major Events.
Recognise major sponsors again separately.
List ALL your sponsors and contributors...
1. THEY get more benefit out of their sponsoring,
Listing on the website business
addresses, phone numbers and their websites, could be used greatly to your
advantage in listing the benefits to the businesses for supporting your event.
Such advertising in the White or Yellow Pages or in on-line directories is from
$100 upwards. And to be able to list their website opens up their whole business
to those looking at your event details, as well as increasing their search
engine ratings.
2. YOU get more sponsorship,
3. YOUR SPONSORS will have up to two years FREE
advertising on the website if you submit your event 12 months in advance.
If
you take care of your sponsors, contributors & supporters then they will take
care of you.
Format...
1. Text in 10 point,
2. Headings in 14 point,
3. Fonts: The
In-a-Nut-shell
will be in "Times New Roman", (developed for best readability
for printed script) and the websites in "Verdana", (developed for best
readability for computer screens). So it would be time saving for us if
you could send your article in one or the other. (Some "Arial" and "Arial
Narrow" will be used occasionally in the In-a-Nut-shell.)
4. When typing, put two spaces after each sentence to
improve readability.
5. Keep paragraphs short.
Editing...
Articles sent will be formatted for
In-a-Nut-shell
and websites.
The
editor reserves the right to edit your article.
