Running an event is not an easy task. There are many details to juggle in the planning and execution of an event and it can all be overwhelming. Here are three tips to help you run a successful event and alleviate the stress of event planning.
1. Define What You Want to Accomplish
Set measurable goals and determine your audience, mission and budget for the event. Define what calls to action you need from your attendees, from buying tickets to purchasing items such as food or promotional products. Create a webpage to inform potential attendees and donors. Paperless’ event pages are mobile friendly, available with custom CSS design and allow you to host all events on one centralized page.
2. Digitize Your Registration Process
Selling tickets is easy through PTC’s event system. By creating a registration page, you don’t need to maintain paper records, each registrant gets a digital receipt that is scannable and you receive reporting that you can use for event check-in. To provide on-site registration or accept donations at the event, PTC makes it easy with mobile card readers and allowing donors to give straight from their phones with Text2Donate.
3. Go Mobile with Communication
Paperless can provide you the latest Mass Text Alert technology, allowing you to effectively communicate with hyper-targeted groups and quickly get updates to your attendees. Connect with your attendees everywhere they go with your own custom mobile app. Deliver real-time push notifications to all of your mobile app subscribers to announce fundraising goals, send specific calls-to give and post event follow up messages.
