Guide

Today's blog post will focus on Enticing and Informing your attendees.

Don't leave your attendees out to dry

ConfusedDog Whether you use your online registration forms as a stand-alone event information and registration portal, or simply a means of collecting your attendees' data, you don't want to leave them wondering what to do next after they click the Register button.

Make the first thing your participants see welcoming and exciting. Let them know how excited you are that they are considering your event. And confirm that they are in the right place by repeating the event's name and date.

The Early Bird Gets the Worm

It's a well-used saying, but if the shoe fits... well, you know what I'm going to say next.

Many attendees are planning for the entire season, both budget wise and time-wise, right now. And they're coming to our National Calendar (all 900,000 of them) to look for events. So if your event is not listed, chances are they're choosing an event from another organization.

The Promotion Calendar Every Event Organizer Needs

January 14, 2014 by Jennifer Ghidinelli

If you caught our end-of-year statistics blog you already know that 900,000 unique visitors looked at events on our National Event Calendar last year! So just having your events listed on our calendar is a great way to promote it. But that's not enough.

Kick off the New Year by streamlining your membership management. If you are already using MotorsportReg.com, why not add membership sign-up and renewal to your online offerings and make it one-stop shopping for your attendees!

Your organization can run a membership event just like you hold registration for a meeting or any other event. It makes it easy for everyone:

Attendees can go to a single place to complete their membership and register for events
Event Organizers can manage all of the information about their members using a single software tool
Membership events will show up on our public calendar as well as your attendee's dashboard
If you are on the premium plan, membership events will also be displayed on your private MSR landing page
