Not all events are meant for everyone. Events are organized keeping their intended audience in mind and that is what differs a successful event from an unsuccessful one. For example, if you are a lot into music, chances are, you’ll attend rock concerts more often than spelling bees. While it’ll be the other way around if mastering words tops your priority list.
Reaching your target audience shouldn’t be any difficult when posting events online. EventPrime makes this possible with its Event Type feature. With the help of Event Types, you can easily categorize your WordPress events into meaningful, distinguishable types. We are going to see today how EventPrime’s Event Types work for this purpose.
Installing and activating EventPrime on your WordPress site is quite easy. If you haven’t used EventPrime on your WordPress site already, we recommend that you check out our official Starter Guide right now.
