Google Calendar allows your patrons to get automatic updates from your upcoming events calendar for immediate viewing in their own calendars. Help customers find you, and help your box office and marketing departments announce your events seamlessly.
What benefits does a Google Calendar integration provide?
Our Google Calendar sync lets you connect your ThunderTix events to push each event to your public calendar. Your customers subscribe to your calendar, so along with their own reminders for upcoming dentist appointments or dinner plans, you get to display your events to help nudge them to the box office link to purchase tickets.
How does it work?
First, create your own free Google Calendar here. Then ask your box office to add your events. Next, we want to make our calendars public.
Syncing ThunderTix events to Google Calendars is not only beneficial to patrons but also for employees and event managers. They will now have the benefit of being able to see their schedules as well as upcoming events. No more uploading event information to ThunderTix then transferring it to Google Calendar!
This new feature also serves as an excellent marketing tool. When patrons search for things to do, events in Google Calendar will show up in their search results.
