There are a number of important things to keep in mind when creating an event. Sometimes things slip between the cracks! These are four tips to help make setting up customized, dynamic event sites easier for event planners.
1. Customize!
Use the recently updated Color Picker to customize you site. You can match your company’s logo colors, and even upload a banner image to your event. This allows you to personalize your event site to match your corporate identity.
You can even add pictures using the Text Changer. Are there activities like tours or day trips that your attendees can sign up for? Add pictures to your pages to show them the fun that awaits them!
2. Downloadable Files!
Do you have a PDF of your agenda? A spreadsheet for your attendees to view? Don’t forget that you can upload files for your attendees to download. Word documents, PDFs, Spreadsheets, these can all be made downloadable on your event site for your attendees to save to their computer.
3. Breakout!
Is your event going to include breakout sessions or scheduled activities? Use the new Breakout Sessions tool to create your sessions. The Breakout Sessions tool will automatically create rules that will not allow attendees to register for more than one activity at the same time. Help your attendees stay on schedule.
4. TEST!
Test, test, test! You can test your event as many times as you need. Keep in mind that there are many combinations of registrations, especially when using advanced features such as Attendee Types and Event Payment. You should run as many test registrations as you can. Send your event link to your fellow employees and have them test your event as well. You can never test too much. Also, don’t forget that Client Services is happy to test your event for you as well. Send in an email request with your Event ID and we can test your event for you!
There are hundreds of ways to customize your event site, it can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be. Always remember that Client Services is here to assist you with any questions that may arise.
