4 Common Gripes About Your Registration Pages

April 18, 2014 by Stacy King

Here at MotorsportReg we pride ourselves on having one of the best customer service and support experiences in the business. Not only do we support our end-customers, the event organizers, but we also support their end customer, participants. In fact many participants who email or call us, don't realize that we're not the ones putting on the events. That's why we promote that using MSR is like adding another member to your team! Last week alone we received nearly 1,200 emails and 180 phone calls.

We thought it might be educational (and interesting) to share some of the gripes we get from attendees about registration forms. Below are a few of the most common ones (in no particular order).

So what does it take? Below are the top 7 answers from our survey.

If you read our last blog, hopefully you understand how powerful slicing and dicing your email list is when promoting your events. Here's a quick recap:

Pole Position- GoPro Motorplex

GoPro Motorplex is a world-class karting facility based in Mooresville, NC. A team of karting and racing professionals inspired and motivated by the growing karting business formulated the idea in 2009, broke ground in late 2011 and finally opened the doors of GoProMotorplex in October 2012.

As large karting events were added to the event calendar, it became obvious that an easy, customized online registration solution was needed. The team at GoPro Motorplex contacted us and after some face-to-face conversations and training, they started accepting registrations on MotorsporReg.com in the summer of 2013. We sat down with the team to talk about their success running great events.
