Event Promoters – An Easy Way to Blast Your Florida Panhandle Events!   Published: 04/02/11 18:41:34
by editor@pcbenews.com

Northwest Florida is all about events. Festivals, concerts, performances, exhibits, tournaments, and many other types of events all abound here and often compete with each other during the 'season'. If you have a business, you are likely involved in many events (and, if you're not, you should be). PCBeNews' parent site, Panhandle OnLine, has a quick and easy way to help you promote your events – and best of all, it's free! Here's how simple it is, if you are promoting an event, you will likely be creating a Facebook event and also posting it to the Twittersphere. To have your event included in our network of Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida/Emerald Coast websites, simply do this while creating that Facebook event – include nwfla in your invitation, post a status to the event and tag nwfla (by typing six characters @nwfla in the post), or post the event's link to the wall at the nwfla FB page. When you do either or all of the above, we will see your event and aggregate it so that it shows up in our newsfeed – which we then post on Panhandle OnLine.com/events.cfm and across our network of Northwest Florida websites, Facebook pages, Twitter Accounts, and more!

The only catch is that you have to Like the nwfla FB page. That's not our requirement, but rather the way Facebook works. You can't tag a page unless you are connected to the page. But, that's not so bad because then you can easily keep up with all of the other events going on in the area right from your Facebook news feed. (If those posts do become a bother to you, you can simply hide the nwfla post at any time, while retaining the connection.)

In addition, you can send us a message on Twitter (we are also @nwfla on Twitter) and then tag us in your event posts on Twitter and we will grab them there for inclusion in our system.

And that's pretty much all there is to it! We have used nwfla as our username on both Facebook and Twitter because it is short and sweet and easy for you to remember. Even though it is less descriptive than would be Northwest Florida Events - it is easier for you to tag. We wanted to make it as easy for you as possible!

We have made it easy for you so you can make it easy for us to include your event and have a comprehensive aggregation of Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida/Emerald Coast events to distribute to the viewers of our network of Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida websites, social network pages, and more. We look forward to following and blasting promotions for your fun and exciting events!

How to Keep Up with Events in the Florida Panhandle   Published: 04/02/11 17:24:22
by editor@pcbenews.com

So many fun things to do in the Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida/Emerald Coast area. So little time to do them. Your personal days and vacation days may seem fewer and farther apart of late and when they do come, you want to get the most out of them. That's where our parent site's new Florida Panhandle/ Northwest Florida Events system comes into play.

When you are looking for the best way to spend your time in the Florida Panhandle, you need one spot in cyberspace that aggregates all the information on all the festivals, concerts, performances, exhibits, tournaments, and other type events happening throughout Northwest Florida and makes that information readily available to you . . . so you can view all the competing events quickly and efficiently and make the best choices for your outings. That one spot is now available at the new Panhandle On-Line Events Page (panhandleonline.com/events.cfm).

(We're not just puffing when we say you will find all of the important Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida events on this page. We have come up with a trick or two to ensure that we include them all. Our next blog addresses those promoting events in the area and explains how they can very easily ensure their events are included.)

But, you say, no matter how great this new site is, my favorites tab is a mile long already and all of my gadgets for saving cites and organizing them are a jumbled-up mess – how will I remember this website when I'm planning an outing? Well, that's where Social Networking comes into play. If you have a Facebook page, simply click here right now and click the Like button on the NWFla page. When you do, events of all sorts all across the Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida will show up in your Facebook newsfeed, right when you need them! Also, you can follow us on Twitter as well.

If you are a Facebook/Twitter holdout, as some are, then we suggest rushing to your neighborhood tattoo parlor and tattooing
panhandleonline.com/events.cfm
in big bold letters on the back of your hand while you're thinking about it. That way, it will be right there when you do need it. If you're not the tattooing type . . . well then add it to your favorites and move it to the top of the list, write it down on a sticky note and stick to your computer monitor or the back of your smart phone, put a note with your gear, and tell all your friends about it so they can help you remember. Whatever it takes, remember to check panhandleonline.com/events.cfm whenever you have time to take in the wonders of the Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida area!
