Best Practices: Event Advertisement Page

Date

December 14, 2021 by Tim Wahl

Your event advertisement page plays a critical role in converting interested page visitors to registered attendees. Done correctly, this page should answer the majority of questions a potential participant may have about your event and provide a compelling event description which entices them to proceed to registration. At a minimum, this page should communicate the who, what, where, when, why, and how much of your event. Having seen thousands of these pages, here are a few best practices we'd highly recommend you incorporate into your event advertisement pages for the 2022 season.

Do you know who has admin access to your club's MSR account?

Date

November 12, 2021 by Brent Whitten

When was the last time you audited the administrative users within your MSR account? The answer to this for many clubs in MSR is “never”, which exposes your organization to some level of risk which you may not be comfortable with.

The 4-1-1 about your 4-1-1

Date

August 28, 2013 by Stacy King

Information is key 

Each host organization that uses MotorsportReg.com for event registrations, online payments, and management, relies on certain information to be maintained and updated by the attendee. This information is used in the organizer's event reports, and more importantly, can mean the difference between a pleasant registration experience, or one marred by error messages or denied payments.

A: You can create a Cancellation Fee package to apply to the registration when an attendee cancels.  Then you refund them all but the amount of the cancellation fee. Here are the steps to do that:

Pit Stop- Free Refunds

Date

Q: Are refunds really free now?

A: Yes, refunds are indeed free! This means that you are not charged a credit card processing fee when refunding an attendee payment online.  However, the credit card processing fee assessed on the original transaction is not refunded.

When you process a refund, you are prompted to enter the amount, allowing you to decide exactly how much to refund. Depending upon your cancellation policy, you have the capability of deducting the original credit card processing fee from the refunded amount.

Q: I went to refund an attendee, but I don’t see the red refund button. I know it was there the other day. Why can’t I see it now?

A: In order to process a refund, you need to have money in your “kitty” to refund with.  If a pay period has just ended (on the 15th and last day of the month), your money is no longer in your kitty as it’s in the process of being sent to you.

For example, if it’s May 1, the pay period just ended on 4/30 and your money is in transit. There won’t be any money in your kitty to refund with.  As soon as you receive enough in new registration fees to cover the refund, the red refund button will appear.

Getting around Websense and other web filters

Date

June 11, 2013 by Brian Ghidinelli

Occasionally we hear from a customer whose members are having a hard time reaching MotorsportReg.com due to corporate web filters. Often the culprit is Websense which blocks things based on categories.

In the past year, we've been listed as Information Technology, Blog, Games, Automotive and who knows what else. We don't really fit well into any of those categories since we're by and large a transactional site much like Ticketmaster.com.

The good news is there is a way to get around this and it's dead simple: SSL. If you access the secure version of our website at https://www.MotorsportReg.com/. Just include the S in the address like httpS:// and you'll fly right by the filter! Game on...
