Yodel Network: Your All-in-One Community App!
The Yodel Network is more than just a community calendar; it is a comprehensive platform that brings together all the incredible community events, news updates, public announcements, volunteer opportunities, and more into one convenient app.
Introducing the App that Brings Together Local News, Events and Community
At the core of the Yodel Network lies a system that harnesses the power of proprietary web scraping technology to gather data from various sources such as Facebook, websites, newsletters, and digital calendars, effectively maximizing the influx of local information consolidated within the app.
It amalgamates local events, news, announcements, and tourism information into one comprehensive app designed to serve the entire community.
What makes your community great? There’s now an app for that!
Designed to increase community engagement and connection, the Yodel Network goes beyond traditional event listings by helping users stay informed, involved, and eager to celebrate everything that makes their community great!
All the Variety You Need in One Place
Not only is everything in one spot, but Yodel notifies community members of upcoming activities and events that match their interests. No more searching dozens of websites, scrolling Facebook, and missing events. School and kids’ events, local live music and entertainment, sporting events, nonprofit events, volunteer opportunities, and more in one app.
Build Loyalty for Local News, Events, and Businesses
Yodel ensures local announcements and news are constantly being updated and presented on community members’ feeds based on their unique interests. Studies show that when people know what’s happening locally, they buy locally. When community members trust your content is relevant, they’ll engage and keep returning for more.
Community Safety is Always a Priority
It’s now easier than ever to communicate with everyone in the community on important topics such as road closures, snow and water alerts, and public safety notices. Your messages are given top priority so that virtually everyone in the community is kept safe and informed.
From Food Trucks to Family Fun - There’s Something for Everyone
We believe in connecting both local residents and visitors to the diverse experiences your community has to offer. Whether it’s exploring local culinary delights on food truck day or enjoying quality time with Aunt Sandy during her week-long visit, Yodel ensures you make the most of every moment. Yodel goes the extra mile to bring you unique, personalized activities tailored to your interests.
Unique Community Connections: Tailored, Engaging Experiences
We understand your community is unique, and making meaningful connections requires a tailored approach, active listening, and genuine engagement with members. We will collaborate with you to get to know your members and set up the Yodel service that allows you to create the unique experiences your community will love.

What Our Communities Are Saying
“Yodel has all of the community events on it focused on Pickerington – it’s a great app!”
Lee Gray, Mayor
Pickerington, Ohio
“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.”
Todd Barton, Mayor
Crawfordsville, Indiana
“It’s a positive addition to the community. I like it better than scrolling through Facebook posts on community pages.”

Bringing Yodel to Your Community is Easy
Implementation and Event Curation
After the agreement has been signed, an initial implementation meeting is held with the stakeholders. Yodel curates a list of local organizations that hold events by linking to their websites, calendars, and social media pages. A letter from a high authority figure is sent to all these organizations, inviting them to an orientation webinar.
Promotion and Launch
Promotion efforts begin after ensuring a high percentage of the organization’s events are represented on the Yodel app. This includes providing promotional content like press releases, email content, and social media posts. A launch date is set, with the aim to create the maximum awareness about Yodel within the community.
Monitoring and Updates
Post-launch, analytics are closely monitored, including account creation, return visits, popular schedules, and other KPIs. Organizations are encouraged to submit news items and updates, which are then posted on the Yodel feed page. The community sponsor can also post announcements and alerts for maximum visibility.
