Activities for Kids- Event Calendar FAQ

Q. What is the Red Tricycle Event Calendar?
A. As you may know, Red Tricycle reaches over 15k families per market each week. Since we typically only feature six to eight events in our weekend calendar (that's about all busy parents can handle!) this means a higher level awareness for your event if it is selected.

Q. What makes the Red Tricycle Events Calendar different than others?
A. By using our interactive Social Event Calendar, you will benefit from viral growth and widespread brand visibility. We have these nifty interactive tools and when people click the "I'm In" or "Sounds Cool" responses, it automatically becomes visible to all of their friends and followers. Talk about spreading the word!

Q. How can I promote my event?
A. We make promoting your event easy.
1. Spread the word on your organizations Facebook and Twitter pages. The graphic "@" tag in Facebook is a great way to highlight your event. Here is an example post using the full graphic “@” tag. Type this into your "what's on your mind" update box:

“Our awesome event is being featured on @Red Tricycle San Francisco! Respond now and see Who’s In! (add the link to your event to activate the graphic)

2. Simply forward your link to your friends, family, mailing list, members, and fans and tell them to jump on board by clicking "I'm in" or "Sounds Cool". A larger "Im in" or "Sounds Cool" list drives even more traffic to your listing.

3. Provide insider details in the comment section about the event that moms love (parking tips, least crowded times, age appropriateness).
