FAQ

NewEnglandAutoShows.com is different than other Car Show and Cruise Event listing sites. Therefore, we get a lot questions and confusion as to “What and who we are” and “What we are doing” and “Why.” Below is a listing of the questions we get  from the most basic to the complex about or website and our service.

General Frequently asked Questions

These are “General” or “Uncategorized” FAQ’s

Does NewEnglandAutoShows.com run and/or are they responsible for all of the events listed here on the website?

It seems to be happening with a bit more frequency, that folks think that NewEnglandAutoShows.com is involved in the running and planning of the well over 700+ Auto Shows, Cruises, and events, listed on our website. This is not the case. As stated in other FAQs I am but “One Person” and it would be impossible for me to plan these events. That’s not to say that someday there might be a NEAS event in the future but at this time we do not: Plan, or Run, and nor are we responsible for these events except in the way that folks may find out about these events on our website. 

If you have concerns about an event, or you want to inquire about being a Vendor or Performing with your Band at one of the events listed on our site you should contact the showrunners directly. Their contact information is usually located near the map to the event on our pages.

Again, I want to state clearly, that we only list the events so that folks can find the events with more ease than has been previously possible. Please read our about page here for even more clarification:

I’m so glad you asked! You can use our contact page.. Alternatively, if you have a facebook account, feel free to ask to be added to our facebook group page and send the info that way.

How does this site pay for itself if you do not charge to list Car Shows?

It doesn’t… Someday I hope that I may get enough followers that the Google addsence and Amazon adds may pay enough for the hosting and maybe for some of the gas to get to some of the shows… As of now? It comes out of Joel’s Pockets…

Questions about Listing

These are FAQ’s about listing shows on the Calendar.

I run a Car show and I would like you to list our show. what do I do?

Use our contact page. It even has a way to attach a flyer if you have one or simply attach a photo from your last show or even just a logo is fine.

If you can please make sure to include contact phone numbers or e-mail addresses that can be used by enthusiasts to ask questions. If there are Facebook group pages that have the event or even a companion website please do not hesitate to include those and I will put them on the event listing. 

Did you know that if other websites that get crawled by Google and other search engines see a link from another website it raises your search ranking and makes it easier for others to find your show? An added bonus is that NewEnglandAutoShows.com uses tags and SEO to make your event easier to be found via our event listing.  

SO send us as much info as you can including links to registration info.

I know about a show that you don’t have on the Calendar but I do not run the show. So -Should I send you the info?

YES!! Please do so!!!

Even if it’s a breadcrumb I will do some google searches and/or ask a few other folks I know if they know something…

How Does NEAS get all of these shows?

That’s a complicated question and also requires a bit of a confession:

I scour the internet looking for information on Cruizes, and Car Shows, to put on the calendar. I attempt to do a lot of due diligence. SO where do I find these events? Truth be told I often use the following sources for my events:

Now, I realize there are some that may say if I use someone else’s work to add to my calendar I am belittling the work they have done and/or stealing their work. But their ultimate goal is to get these Car Shows to a broader audience. Indeed I share that sentiment and I know for a fact that when I “like a car show” on facebook and “share it” it immediately shows up on a few of the above sites I use above. 

So yes, I confess that I often take shows from other facebook pages and websites. But then I do some due diligence and add even more info if I can to the web calendar event when I add it. If I can find more contact info I add it. If I find a companion facebook event or page, I add it… If I find a website I add it.  But ultimately, I hope to have an organized calendar of all these events.

I do this because I love Car Shows and I want to spread the word about them if I can.
