What is the Event Calendar?
The Event Calendar is used by Sales Projections to determine whether a particular day is ‘normal’ (eg, look at other Fridays’ sales to determine this Friday’s sales), or a ‘special event’ (eg, this Friday is ‘Good Friday’, so look at previous years’ ‘Good Fridays’ to determine sales). When a particular day has an Event added to it in the calendar with a particular ‘Event Type’ (eg, ‘Good Friday’), it will look back to other historic days in the calendar with the same Event Type and use those days to determine sales demand (instead of looking at the same weekday).
Your site will already be pre-populated with Events from calendars for both your country (eg, ‘New Zealand’) and region (eg, ‘Canterbury’). 2IQ manages these calendars and your site's subscription to these calendars, on your behalf. However, you can then decide to add further events to the calendar which are specific to your site (eg, ‘Big DJ Night’).
