ADVERTISING EVENTS
Who is the ECEC Events Calendar for?
Our online platform is suitable for small businesses who offer educational, training and support services directly to early childhood education and care services in various settings - who align with the business ethos and ethics of the Early Childhood Resources Market.
We would love to see a focus on educator wellbeing, as well as ongoing education and care.
- We have now created a unique online platform, the ECEC Events Calendar, to bring early childhood professionals, families and communities together around Australia.
- There are no automated event listings on our website.
- We want to ensure that we align with like minded businesses who share our business ethos and aims.
- ECRM reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to either accept or decline an advertising application or business directory listing.
How do I advertise my event?
It couldn't be any easier. There are two options:
- Click on the Submit Event Button on the Calendar itself and complete the event form; or
- Jump to our website page List Your Event and lodge your event details etc. and submit your event.
- Once submitted correctly, you will receive an online pop up confirmation and an email confirmation receipt from ECRM, confirming receipt of your advertising request.
And that's it, your event has been submitted to ECRM for our approval. Next steps:
- ECRM will advise you of the outcome of your advertising application within 7 business days.
- Invoice you accordingly, if successful.
- Once payment has been received by ECRM, your event goes live on our ECEC Events Calendar and Business Directory (if you have selected this option).
