      7. What is the Event Marketplace?

      • The Event Marketplace is the industry's first ever two-sided filterable marketplace to unite Event Organizers, Destinations, and Venues to sports organizations, active teams, players, parents, and fans. Event Organizers, Destinations, and Venues can partner to create a marketed event, their own webpage to advertise and build excitement for their upcoming sporting event, within minutes. Enter your event name, location, dates, description, and include links to register, buy tickets, and book hotels.
      • Who can market an event?
        Event Organizers and Gold Destinations & Facilities can market an event on the Playeasy Platform. 
      • How is the Event Marketplace beneficial to Destinations?
        Destinations and Event Organizers' co-marketed events appear on the Event Marketplace. When a potential registrant or spectator views the event, they will have the option to book a hotel, buy a ticket, register for the event, and visit your Destination Profile. Listing your events on Playeasy's Event Marketplace eases communication with spectators and registrants, and demonstrates all that your Destination has to offer - hopefully increasing length of stay. Marketing your Events also gets you noticed outside of the platform, too. All of your Playeasy events are SEO-optimized to appear high up in Google search results for anyone searching for events near you.
