Click Above & See Events That Get Clicks!<\/a><\/h4>\n

A great event page answers three questions in 5 seconds: What is it? Where is it? Why should I care?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Step 1: Images<\/h2>\n

Images are the number one reason why people decide to click\u2014or scroll past. Use a square JPG; 500×500<\/strong> is ideal.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Description<\/h2>\n

Aim for 120\u2013160 words total<\/strong>. Explain what it is, what it’s like, and why it’s worth going.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Links<\/h2>\n
