Notes 8.2.5 Eventsbot
Today, event planners are no longer afraid to use Internet technology to organize their events
and shows. They find event planning online more easy than any other traditional way of planning
events. Traditional ways of planning are no more attracting planners because they are not
affordable and also they involve a lot of manual work and spread sheets. Also, manual ways of
planning shows have become outdated as they have caused a great dip in the attendance.
To fight all these issues in a better way, it is sensible to think event planning online. When you
are choosing a professional event management company like eventsbot, you no longer have to
worry about registrations or pulling more attendees to your event. You will get good opportunity
to promote your events by creating your event page that will match with your existing website.
You will enjoy logging in with the help of secured username and password. You can allow your
registrants to get all the information they want by using your event page. You can share every
information about your event including the venue, date, pricing of tickets and many other
details of your events with your attendees. You can choose good online event management
software such as eventsbot if you want to give a good experience to your attendees.
8.2.6 RegOnline
RegOnline is an event management software with solutions for events, meetings and conferences.
The registration software allows event planners to easily setup online event home pages and
registration forms. Its service is similar to Eventbrite and Cvent.
RegOnline handles all payment processing, data tracking and online registration confirmation.
They track crucial event data like attendee info in reports that can be viewed, emailed, downloaded
or exported from their site. Event planners can also create custom reports to track specific event
data.
8.2.7 Setdot
Setdot is an event planning tool that’s currently in private beta - Mashable was granted one of
the first invites.
The user interface for Setdot is very attractive, and appeals to a young professional demographic.
Choose from their preset themes for your event, whether it be a small gathering to an all-out
party. The guest lists are easy to manage, and are automatically saved in your Setdot account
once you’ve entered a guest’s email address. The rest of the tools Setdot provides are somewhat
impressive.
Notes When choosing a location for your event, Setdot can help by aiding in your search,
and populating your invite with the location name, address, and phone number.
Privacy settings for guests and their information shown regarding an invite can be set to variable
modes.
Speed, ease and attractiveness are by far Setdot’s most superior features. While the tone of the
site may remind you a bit of Evite, Setdot may need to do a bit more if they hope to get people
to switch to their service. There are no collaboration features, such as those that can be found on
Renkooor Planypus. Setdot is an interesting entrant, even if the market it enters is somewhat
crowded.
