How far ahead of time should I promote my event?

Submitting your event promotions with enough time is essential to get the best results.

After promoting tens of thousands of events, we suggest you submit your events AT LEAST two weeks before the start date. This will give the community calendars enough time to accept your listings.

Vesta completes submissions to all of your selected outlets within 48 hours at the latest, but it is usually much faster than this. Some happen automatically, but others have an employee reviewing and accepting submissions. Holidays, especially, can really slow down this process.

Two Weeks or More, Why?

The below graphic illustrates why it is important to post at least two weeks before your event.

The dark green boxes are days when your event listing is on the most possible calendars. This means you’re getting the most exposure for your event.

Many of these calendar pages get thousands of views per day, so each day matters. Being on the calendar an extra few days could mean hundreds or thousands more impressions and many more potential attendees.
