How Yodel Connect Works
Your community calendar populated for you
Stop spending time looking for events: Most visitor centers find themselves surfing websites and Facebook trying to find local events to put on their website. Yodel does that for you.
Filtered precisely as you want: Don't worry, we're not going to flood your events calendar with pancake breakfasts. You have complete control of the events populating your site.
Displayed on your website in the format you want
Use your current events calendar: We provide events in all the standard formats (ical, ics, webcal, Google, Apple, Outlook, and custom api) so you don't have to change a thing. Your visitors don't notice a difference (except that there are more events).
Calendar widget: If you don't have an events calendar that you like on your website, no worries. We can provide a various widgets based on what you like best. Just a few snips of code on your site and you're promoting everything you want in your area.
Increased web traffic
Dramatic increase in web traffic: Let your website become the "go to" place for everything local.

For local residents too: Marketing local events to local residents is as important to the local economy as bringing in outsiders. Because our technology gathers up practically everything, your website can power up the local economy by getting the local people to local events.
Automatic updates
Changes made for you: If the event creator changes anything about an event, it's automatically changed on your events calendar.
Increase accuracy while saving time: Have the peace of mind that the events on your calendar are in sync with what the event creator is publishing.
How the Yodel App Works
It starts with innovative technology
Yodel's unique technology brings local events, news, announcements, and tourism information to one app for your entire community.
After gaining approvals, Yodel scrapes, Facebook, websites, newsletters, and digital calendars to maximize the amount of local information available on the app.
Events & Activities
Not only is everything in one spot, but Yodel notifies community members of upcoming activities and events that match their interests.
-
School and kids' events
-
Local live music and entertainment
-
Sporting events
-
Nonprofit events
-
Volunteer opportunities
-
And more...
No more searching dozens of websites, scrolling Facebook and missing events.
One app for everything local
Local News & Updates
Local updates and news are constantly being updated and presented on community members' feed based on their unique interests.
Studies show that when people know what’s happening locally, they buy locally.
Public Announcements
Now you can easily communicate with everyone in the community about road closures, snow and water alerts, public safety notices and anything else you need to convey.
Your messages are prioritized and pushed to virtually everyone in the community to keep everyone safe and informed.
Visitor Information
Most visitor sites only show the big events and venues.
Whether it's food truck day or Aunt Sandy is coming to town for a week, Yodel gets local residents and visitors alike connected with something they'll enjoy.
Easy For Everyone
Browse like you're on Netflix
Think of it like Netflix, but for events. Find things you never knew about in your own town.
Search like you're on Google
Looking for the time of your kids soccer game, the date of your favorite charity fundraiser, or just something fun to do this weekend? Search like you would on Google, except our results show your community first every time.
"Add to calendar" the way it should be
Add to calendar buttons are confusing, static, and way more difficult than they should be.
Yodel's add to calendar button puts events on your personal calendar for you with just one click. And, if that event ever changes, your calendar gets updated automatically.
Follow schedules to stay in the know
Following schedules keeps you in the know about local things you're interested in.
Get notified of new events as soon as they are posted so you never miss something you wanted to attend.
What community leaders are saying about Yodel?
Money well-spent
I would love to tell my colleagues in the Chamber world to run and get signed up for the Yodel Community Calendar. The experience and the Yodel Team are both top-notch. You will not be disappointed, and it is marketing money well-spent.
Amy Crown, Director, Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce
Attendance is up
Attendance is up {at events} and that could be for a variety of reasons, but I think Yodel is a part of that because people now have access to {everything happening in one place}. So, some of the events that maybe didn't get as big a turnout before will now have people there who wouldn't have probably known about it before.
