One of the questions that I get asked often is how to invite clients and prospects to an event. Most people are familiar with evite.com. Evite.com is more of a personal invitation system for things like parties, showers, etc. I point people to EventBrite.com for handling the invitation and guest list functions for a business event. The service is free if you are not charging per ticket for entry to the event. If you ARE charging per ticket, EventBrite.com charges a reasonable 99 cents per ticket plus 2.5% of the ticket value (credit card processing fees)
There is an EventBrite connector for SalesForce.com!
Sign up for a demo of the EventBrite platform to learn about the following:
– Customize your event page
– Integrate online credit card processing
– Collect attendee information
– Send out electronic invitations and monitor response
– Promote your event with Eventbrite tool and features
– Generate an attendee list and print badges
What an innovative and energizing approach to building a website.
I have partnered with Blue Gurus on multiple sites and referred many of my own clients to them. They make the whole process simpler, easier, faster and more fun than you would ever imagine. If you need a new website for your business, consider Blue Gurus! Also talk with them about LinkedIn training for your execs and/or sales staff. If anyone can convince people of the value of LinkedIn, these guys can!
