Tutorial for Show Listers
 
 
   

This is the next screen you will see. Here is where you will build the particulars of your show Advertisement.
Start by entering a "Show Start Date". This is the date when your show starts. Your date should be in the format "MM/DD/YY" for example 10/10/03 the most common mistake here is that Show listers forget to think forward in time and enter the wrong Year. Remember if the current date is November, 2002 and your show is in August that will be in the next year or 2003.
City refers to the name of the city your show takes place in. City name is used later in the map & driving directions so choose the closest city name if show is not in a city proper.

 

State is the name of the state your show takes place. Use a 2 letter state name. This data is also used later to draw a map & Driving instructions for your show. For instance use AR for Arkansas or IL for Illinois.

Country & Region are not mandatory entries however the Region field is used to help visitors locate Shows in areas of the country, for there driving convince. I recommend you use the Region drop down box to choose an area for your show.

Choose a Category is marked with a red asterisk indicating it is a mandatory selection. This drop down box is how you position your Ad in the Desired State listing. If you forget to choose a state when you click the next button you will be returned to this screen with a red warning message that "you must choose a Category".

Item Title is the place you will enter the name of your show, use a familiar show name that your visitors are use to referring to. For example "Western Illinois Threshing Bee".

 

"*Ad will post today! How many more days until show ends". Causes the most confusion. Think of the number this way, your ad will post today. Count forward from today the number of days until your show ends, and add 60 days to that number. This column is used to calculate when your ad should be removed from the system. Users mistakenly enter 3 in this column thinking the show lasts 3 days, but they find the system drops there ad in 3 days when actually there show doesn't happen for another 6 months. There is nothing wrong with entering 365 in this column so the ad stays on the system for about a year.

Price field refers to the admission price for your show. do not use the dollar sign here "$" it is automatically entered for you.

Link field allows you to create a link to your clubs home page. don't forget to enter "http://www." in front of your clubs address.

That's it for this form when you click the "Next" at the bottom of the page your information will be checked for correctness and taken to the next step in the listing process. If there is a problem with your information you will be returned to this page, and red notes describing your error will be presented to you. allowing you to make the corrections, you will not be allowed to precede past this page until these errors are corrected.

You may click the Next button above to continue to the Next page in this tutorial.
