We think we have a useful way for you to promote your event to a West End audience.
It's easy to use, and gives you control over what you want to say.
And what's more, we make no charge if your event is free to the public.
'WE WILL SHARE'
We charge a small fee if your event is charged.
For our part, we will share your event through our social media channels (as of April 2018 a combined 15,500 REAL followers and growing!)
If we approve your ad, we will share on Facebook and at least SIX times on Twitter.
Paid-for ads will be shared at least EIGHT times on Twitter as well as on Facebook.
Just follow these steps:
Prepare what you need to say about your event.
Think of 200 words or so to describe what it's about.
Select a strong banner image - that's letterbox shaped - to go with it.
Just go to the 'events' section in the menu bar on our website - wwww.glasgowwestend.today
Click on the 'List Your Own Event' button. Fill in details about your event.
It takes 5 to 10 minutes to navigate the instructions - with 15 different boxes to fill in.
Remember to use a banner-shaped image - minimum 1024 x 500 pixels for best results. Max upload size 2MB.
Try to use a strong, simple image - a location shot is better than a poster covered in text.
Make sure the picture is properly uploaded. It should come up in the view box on the page.
When you're happy with your post - and have checked the details - hit 'confirm details'.
You should see a simple 'thank you' message on the page.
You should also receive an auto-email saying your post has been submitted and will be reviewed shortly before posting.
When your post is published - usually within 24 hours - make sure to check over the details.
If you see any errors, please email us glasgowWE@hyperlocaltoday.co.uk and we can rectify.
When we start to share on Facebook and Twitter, please share on your channels if you can.
***
We offer this service free or at low-cost because it drives traffic to our website.
We are often asked to promote events by sharing them on Facebook, which we are happy to do in some cases.
But that doesn't bring anyone to our site.
So, please use our listing service whenever you can.
You are helping us to help you!
