Whether you hold classes, set up at local events, or simply want to promote an open house you are hosting then The Events Calendar is the perfect tool for you. This tool allows you to not only add the specifics of your event to both your blog and your calendar, if you enter a specific address it will embed a Google map in your post! If you have experienced underwhelming attendance at any of your events then this tool can help you to get more publicity and provide a map to help boost attendance. In addition to increasing attendance at your event, it will also help to garner more Google juice through the use of Google tools!

See the two images below for both visual and written directions on how to use this tool; clicking on either image will enlarge them. THIS TUTORIAL ASSUMES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED THE EVENTS CALENDAR.

As always, we here at Positive Real Estate Professionals try to stay on top of the latest tools and integrations for our real estate network. Today is no different as we are prepared to offer The Events Calendar to each and every one of our members for FREE. We have tested this events calendar to see how it would integrate with our online real estate network, and frankly I am pleased to announce that it has passed each and every test that I have thrown at it.

Below is the description straight from the plugins page on wordpress:

The Events Calendar plugin enables you to rapidly create and manage events using the post editor. Features include Google Maps integration as well as default templates such as a calendar grid and event list for streamlined one click installation.

Looking to track attendees, sell tickets and more? Go download the Eventbrite for The Events Calendar plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/). Eventbrite is a free service that provides the full power of a conference ticketing system. This plugin upgrades The Events Calendar with all the basic Eventbrite controls without ever leaving the wordpress post editor. Don’t have an Eventbrite account? No problem, use the following link to set one up: http://www.eventbrite.com/r/simpleevents.

The Events Calendar

• Manage event details right from your post editor
• Upcoming Events Widget
• Provides full template out of the box (month and list view)
• Extensive template tags for customization
• MU Compatible
• Google Maps Integration
• Posts are automatically moved to the top of the loop on the day of the event
• Calendar Month view with tooltips
• Includes support for venue, cost, address, start and end time, google maps link
• Optional Ticketing With Eventbrite Integration – http://www.eventbrite.com/ – though the Eventbrite for The Events Calendar plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/).
• Support for international addresses, time and languages: ** Swedish ** French ** Italian

Upcoming Features

• Option to disable re-posting of event
• Ical Feed
• Improved international features (calendar start day)
• Option to exclude events from main loop
• More bug hunting and support (huff puff)
• Improved error checking and reporting
• Calendar view widget
• Reoccuring events
• Sync with facebook events
• Saved venues
• Global event maps
• Dynamic categories (rather than requiring the use of event)
• Event subcategories

Now, here is how you can access this neat tool. First, contact our office if you are interested in using this tool as we have to turn it on individually. Then, login to your dashboard and scroll down to the “Settings” and look for “The Events Calendar”. Once there, simply click on it and set your options. When that is done, contact our office for your Events Calendar page to be set up on your navigation bar. We will structure it and then setup the redirection that is required to make the page appear correctly. Once it is done, we will test it to be sure that it works properly.

With that said, here are a few things that I see that will be a HUGE benefit. For any REALTOR® that uses this calendar and lists their open houses, the post will display a Google Map automatically to the listing. This feature is available for everyone that uses this new calendar. Another GREAT benefit to this calendar is it is managed right from your posting screen. This means that all you need to do is go to write a new post just like you normally do, add a prelude, and then simply input the day, time, location, and any other info that is important to this event. The tool will do the rest for you.
