Location
Next to categories, Planspot also connects events based on the distribution area of a title. If your title is published locally, it might be possible that you’re only interested in events in the immediate surroundings of your distribution area. You can easily define this in this section.
Set location
After entering an address, city or country, you see that the system automatically draws a circle around the indicated area. With your cursor, you can easily resize the circle. Notice that the radius of the circle automatically adjusts. It’s also possible to change the range.
Categories
Each title has a specific target audience, which are logically interested in specific categories (topics). Planspot links events to media partners related to these categories.
Selection
Organizers may select up to three main categories. Within each main category they may select up to 10 subcategories (topics). You, as media partner, may
select an unlimited number of categories and subcategories.
If you have little categories and / or subcategories selected, the number of matching events will also be lower. Select more categories, the number of matching events will be higher. Over time you will find your balance.
Preview Channel
You have now reached the end of the wizard. Under ‘Preview Channel’ you can preview all entered information about your channel. If you are satisfied you can launch your channel simply by pressing “Publish Channel”. If you are unsatisfied, you edit your data to perfection.
