The hub for your event's activity becomes your online e-journal! Drive traffic to the site for all event information, online registration and more! Your online journal is actually a robust, multi-featured website that starts with its own personalized, easily recognizable URL exclusive to your particular event. The event journal includes all the key sections and information normally found in a printed paper journal, plus significant advantages and add-ons that are not only unique to the online experience, but deliver unparalleled value to your sponsors and advertisers, including: |
| Journal Home Page. Your "journal cover" or home page is the online "front cover" of your journal site. It is extremely easy to navigate and is custom designed to reflect your organization’s brand and your event’s theme. (click image on left to enlarge) | |
| About The Event Section. This section begins with an online "press release" with all the relevant information about the event to be promoted in the pre-event period. Sub-tabs mirror the typical introductory section of most traditional paper journals, but content is enhanced with color photos, dynamic links and ongoing updates. This section is customized to your needs and typically includes tabs for Welcome Messages from Directors and Chairpeople, Committee and Board Listings, Congratulatory Letters from Dignitaries, as well as an online picture gallery with printable souvenir photographs for guests.

| Sponsor Gallery/Online Journal Ads. The Event Journal Sponsor Gallery gives viewers access to all participating sponsors with colorful ads in decorative borders which reflect the ad level of the donation. And, of course, corporate ads link to company websites for added marketing value. Ads from private donors are aesthetically designed to make them feel especially appreciated. Moreover, the online ad system is powered by an integrated online ad submission system, enabling paperless trafficking of ads and quicker response time for ads to appear online!

| Online Registration/Shopping Cart. Talk about dramatically exceeding the functionality of a paper journal! With EVENTjournal.com, you’ll receive a secure, credit-card PCI compliant shopping cart feature boasting a multitude of capabilities, ranging from ticket purchasing and table reservations to online ad and donation submission to downloadable activity reports.

| Ad Banners. Since your sponsors can never have too much exposure, visitors to your online journal can quickly click on banners displaying logos and sponsor names—and link them directly to your sponsor’s advertisement. (click image on left to enlarge)
Perhaps your online journal’s greatest feature? Unlike a traditional paper journal that is not distributed until the date of the event, your online journal is activated and available for viewing months prior. This allows you to communicate need-to-know information much earlier, and to post changes and new information right until the event itself. But your website does not “shut down” after the event is over. You can still manage the site by posting event photos and videos (easily downloadable by your guests), providing updates on donations received, and "Save the Date" information for the next year's festivities.
