About Special Dates/SP Events and SP Events

When your sales team is checking the function diary or combined availability, and looking for space, it’s useful to flag city-wide events, special holidays, or anything else that may affect business.  If this information is readily available, it will help them sell more effectively. 


You can create special dates one by one, or if you have a list of next year’s trade shows, for instance, or a longer list, you can also use the ‘import’ functionality. 

Before you create special events, you should set up the special event categories in Thynk, e.g. holidays, city-wides, etc.
