Some Basic Information
- It costs nothing to create a venue profile, and once the venue profile is created and approved, it remains on DOVOUR until you close the profile.
- Two exceptions: venue account are deleted when inactive for twelve (12) consecutive months. The second exception is when a venue posts content that violates DOVOUR content policies.
- When creating a post for your venue, you must specify a beginning and end date. Once the end date and time elapse, the event post is automatically removed from the DOVOUR feed, and the associated images and text for that event are deleted from your account dashboard.
- The cost of an event post is calculated by (a) the size of the venue and (b) the length of time the event occurs and remains in the DOVOUR feed.
- Official name used to identify the venue publicly in promotion and on its website.
- Venue official address so that DOVOUR geolocation directs audiences to the right place.
- Venue phone number (not shown on the website or app).
- Venue URL (linked on your venue profile but not show on an event posting).
- Venue Email.
- Venue social handles (optional).
- Two venue photos, one showing the exterior with signage and the other, an interior photo that clearly communicates the venue environment. Images must be 1080 x 1080 pixels PNG or JPEG (see examples). Note: any photo posted on DOVOUR must be cleared for use by the artist, event producers, and the photographer of the image. Do not use images appropriated from the Internet without proper authorization from the image owner. Read more about photo usage here.
- 500-character max/250-character minimum description of the venue (look at your venue’s website About page for inspiration). Correct spelling and excellent grammar are required;
- Venue maximum capacity so that people know how big the venue is.
