First the News.
According to a Businesswire Press release entitled Google Calendar Gallery Offers Next Best Thing to a Personal Concierge, Google Calandar, which previously gave searchale access only to Google Calendar, now has created Google Calendar Gallery, making all Public Calendar’s searchable, if you desire.
Anyone can view Google Calendar gallery listings for free – you don’t have to have a Google Calendar. You can browse different categories of calendars to see which ones are the most popular, or you can search in the search box for the topics that most interest you. You’ll see video, images, and detailed descriptions right in the listings so you can preview the events or shows with one click. If you also use Google Calendar, you can add events to your personal calendar with one click and receive email or mobile phone alerts so you never miss your favorite basketball team or band again. It’s also easy to share these events with friends and family.
You can try it out for free by visiting:
Four things your company can do with this:
- List sales as events. Put a coupon code on the calendar that they can use at checkout.
- List upcoming times when you will be available to speak/correspond/IM with your clients online.
- Show your hours, incorporating information about your site.
- Tie client appreciation events in with holidays. Father’s Day is coming – instead of just a Father’s day sale, maybe a meeting to help people understand why timeshares are a good gift for Dad [client link].
It’s another way to become searchable, tied to events.
