Embed the Soleil’s To-Dos content-sharing widget on Your Website!

Got a calendar on your website with nothing on it?  Got a whole bunch of events with no organization and nothing but static information?  Soleil’s To-Dos solves these problems through content-sharing widgets, giving you access to a full event calendar or just your own events!  This is no home-made something that we're offering, rather, the calendar widgets are provided by and the calendar information is hosted by Trumba Corporation.  This best of the best calendar service also used by The University of Chicago, Harvard University, Constant Contact, DePaul College of Law, the New York Times and . . . well . . . Soleil's To-Dos!  (View more Trumba customers.)

How Content-Sharing Widgets Works

The calendar elements (including search boxes, mini calendar, upcoming events scroller, etc. (calendar “widgets”)) that you see on Soleil’s To-Dos are not actually on the website, they widgets that are generated through a hosted calendar service website.   The widget is simply pasted in the location on the web page where you want the calendar or feature to appear.  The calendar that you will see is data that is not stored on your site, therefore, no worries about impacting your server’s capacity!

Soleil’s To-Dos offers three types of content-sharing, designed to provide specific solutions and benefits to suit your needs: 

  • Full-Content-Sharing Widget

    Perhaps your organization attempts to maintain a full, updated event calendar, but is unable to do so.  A comprehensive event calendar requires a great deal of time to gather, input and update the information.  So if your business is not specifically to provide an event calendar – leave the planning to Soleil’s To-Dos and

    ·        Eliminate the time and expense of having staff collect and input events

    ·        Eliminate the expense of buying your own calendar program or service

    ·        Focus on developing and maintaining your core business

    ·        Provide a feature that extends length of stay by your site visitors, a factor that will attract website advertisers

    ·       Provide a submission form for your site visitors to input events to your calendar – you choose which events to upload

    ·        Highlight events sponsored by your organization

    ·       Customized color scheme

    ·        Hyperlink to your website included on the Soleil’s To-Dos website

    ·        Nominal set-up fee

    ·        Enjoy a 10% discount on Soleil’s To-Dos standard advertising rates

     

  • Limited Content-Sharing Widget

    The Limited Content-Sharing Widget is a great solution for artist/performer websites.  Often, these sites do not contain options (such as text and e-mail message reminders or notifications of change, download to calendar and forward to a friend) that facilitate attendance.  Many performance venues have calendars that are similarly lacking in functionality and organization.  If your website calendar suffers these drawbacks, limited content-sharing will solve your problem!

  • Input your own events using the event submission form

  • Your events automatically uploaded to your site through your widget

  • Your events (subject to Soleil’s To-Dos discretion) will be mixed into the Soleil’s To-Dos  calendar, with additional visibility on each site that has a full-content sharing Widget

  • For the artist, the widget will display a complete list of your performances only (even those outside of the Chicago city limits)

  • For businesses that offer classes, take advantage of the registration feature included with the submission form: allow customers to register for classes, track registrations, open and close registration lists and send registrants (or those who are waitlisted) reminders or messages

  • Provide a functional calendar that’s user friendly and facilitates attendance at your events

  • Eliminate the expense of buying your own calendar program or service

  • Customized color scheme

  • Hyperlink to your website included on the Soleil’s To-Dos website

  • Nominal set-up fee

  • Enjoy a 10% discount on Soleil’s To-Dos standard advertising rates

    As the use of the internet continues to develop and increase, the number of websites has increased exponentially.  With so many sites to choose from and the limited amount of time available to browse websites, the market for your business becomes increasingly fragmented.  However, by increasing the number of websites on which your information appears, you expand your visibility exponentially. 

     

  • Standard Content-Sharing Widget

The Standard Content-Sharing Widget is available in a standard color/format and cannot be customized.  The following widgets are available:  mini-calendar, event listing and calendar with “today” view. 

·      Provide a feature that extends length of stay by your site visitors, a factor that will attract your future website advertisers

·        Eliminate the time and expense of buying your own calendar program or service

·      Provide a submission form for your site visitors to input events to your calendar spud – you choose which events to upload

Requirements for Embedding the Soleil’s To-Dos Content-Sharing Widgets:

·                    Embedding the calendar is easy!  Soleil’s To-Dos will provide you with the html code to insert on the designated area of your website.  Simply copy it and paste it in! 

·                    The calendar must be accompanied by a hyperlink logo to Soleil’s To-Dos with the phrase “Calendar provided by”

·                    Hmmm . . . that’s about it!
