How to Create an Experience on Lifeogeny
Already offer great experiences? Lifeogeny is a perfect fit for you!
However, if you do not currently offer experiences, we encourage you to think differently about how you use your space, your product, and your staff to create memorable experiences and drive customer loyalty.
By creating a memorable experience, you can build new relationships and strengthen the existing relationships you already have.
As those relationships increase and experience seekers share your posts, there is an added benefit of increased exposure through social media.
Lifeogeny is here to help you connect with and acquire new customers around the experiences you curate!
Below, we’ve included easy-to-follow instructions on how to create and promote an event through the Lifeogeny mobile application:
1. Click "Create Experience.”
2. Enter the basic information about your experience which includes:
Experience Title: Give your experience a short, distinct name. We recommend no more than 20 characters including spaces.
Location: Enter the location of your experience. For example, if your experience is at a performing arts center, enter the name of that center here. Or, as an example, if you are a food truck, add a brief location such as 4th & Main or the name of a subdivision.
Date: Use the calendar to select the exact date of your experience. If your experience has more than one date, you can use the "Duplicate Experience" function described below.
Time: Use the drop-down function to select the appropriate time ensuring that you select PM or AM accordingly.
Time Zone: Using the drop-down list, select the appropriate time zone.
Pricing: Select "No Admission Fee" if you are not requiring a paid ticket. If you are not charging admission, then you do not need to enter ticketing details.
Pricing: Select "Ticketing Required" if you are requiring a paid ticket. In this case, you would want to complete the ticketing details.
Ticketing Details: Enter the ticket price in the space indicated. Note that if you have different pricing options, enter the lowest ticket price offered. Also, be sure to add the link to your ticketing site so that the Lifeogeny user, when they RSVP to “Purchase Now,” will be redirected to where they can purchase tickets.
Description: Enter a complete description of your experience here. Note that the character limit is 600, but we encourage you to be thoughtful about your keywords so users can find you when utilizing the search function. As with any Search Engine Optimization for the web, keywords matter when using the Search function within the Lifeogeny application. As you write your description, think about how your customer might search, and ensure that those words are used where possible. See our Host Search Optimization Guide for more information.
Link: Enter a link to a landing page where the user can learn more about your experience — whether it is your website, social media page, etc. This will give the user an opportunity to learn more if they choose.
Address: Enter the address where your experience will be held. As in the example above for Location, if your experience is at a performing arts center, you would enter the address to that location. If you are a food truck, the exact address where you will be located would be what you enter here.
City, State & Zip: Enter the City, State, and Zip as appropriate.
Categories: Here you should select as many categories as apply. For example, if you are a street festival, you would pick Food & Beverage as well as Family Friendly if that is indeed the case. See our Categories Guide for more resources and a full list of categories.
3. Add Main Event Image:
This is a required field. Similar to your header image on your profile, the main event image is the primary image seen within the Experience feed, which means it’s a very important way to grab users’ attention as they are scrolling through their Host feed. We have created an image template to assist you in selecting, sizing, and positioning your image.
Click Choose File to upload a JPEG or PNG file. Be sure to name your file with a short description, and avoid using any symbols, as this will cause an error in the image display within the mobile application.
4. Add Additional Event Photos:
You are not required to upload additional Event Photos, however, this gives you an opportunity to share additional content with Lifeogeny users. View our image template for sizing instructions.
Click Choose File to upload. You may add up to three additional images.
5. Saving Your Event — You have two options when it comes to saving:
Save As Draft: This option allows you to save your submission if you are unable to complete and submit, giving you time to complete the event if you are interrupted during the setup process. To complete the form later, simply find the experience in your Calendar, then view or edit as necessary before submitting your event.
Save & Submit: Once you have completed the event listing, and you are satisfied with the entry, you can save & Submit. This action will push the event data to Lifeogeny admin so that it can be reviewed and published to the mobile application.
Editing a Submitted Event: While we don't recommend changing the data once it has been submitted, you can modify the description or images if you find that users are not interacting with your content. In most cases, the image will make the difference.
Image requirements:
A JPEG or PNG no larger than 750KB to 850KB is preferred.
Images with at 550 x 550 px work best.
Make sure to check the copyright licenses on any images you use.
