Mash Media – TVD instructions
Mash Media website:
http://www.conference-news.co.uk/venuefinder/
Mash Media is an API Client. They have venuedirectory.com data that feeds into their website.
Unlike most API clients, they have complete control on what is a Full and Basic listing via an admin login.
Instructions:
Mash Media will email the venue support team to request venues and suppliers are added to the database so that they may appear on the API.
You will be advised on receipt of the email whether these should be enhanced or basic listings. (You will not need to upgrade the listings, they will do this at their end)
Existing Basic Listings
If the listing requested is Active and a basic listing, ensure that at least 3 images are loaded and this is built to a good standard (skinny full) using information taken from their website.
Add all email addresses to the system, ensure that they have the appropriate access to update the listing and send an email using the Mash Media if basic template and send a temporary password only if they have never logged in before.
Existing Full Listings
If the listing requested is Active and a Full listing, do not amend the listing, add the user (if not already listed) and send an email using the Mash Media, Existing Full template and only send a temporary password if they have never logged in before.
Please read through the email templates and delete the text that is not required
Advise Mash Media upon completion
Ensure that you advise on reply that this venue/supplier is ready for them to upgrade in their portal.
NOTE:
Venues will need to login to Myeventschannel to update their listing, Updating their listing here will update the Mash Media listing as well.
Remember, if they log in here it will change the listing on TVD as well.
If a venue asks about why they are paying for listings on both, advise them their TVD listing and Mash Media listing are separate. Mash Media simply use our data on their website and have complete control over what appears as a basic or enhanced listing.
