Online event registration – keeping it simple

Organising an event is challenging and so is getting people to sign up and register for your event. Switching from your manual (offline) event registration process to an online method will provide not only a better experience for your attendees, but real cost savings for your company. Sending out invites is fast becoming the past and the necessity of online event registration is here. 

For me registering for an event should be a simple and effortless transaction. Allowing registrants to move through the registration process quickly and without confusion or complications, making the process of event planning that much easier for you.

Your online event registration should allow participants to get information easily, sign up and pay securely.

Selecting an online event registration service is paramount - here are a couple of things you should keep in mind.

• The registration form can easily be customised to collect accurate information specific for your event.
 
• Keep it short and simple with graphics and fonts easy to read.

• Ensure your registration form is compatible with your website. Check out software requirements for web browsers before you start.

• Most important, make certain the payment process is secure and allows all payment options.

• Lastly let participants know the benefits of online registrations on your website; inform them of secure method of payment and your company's confidentiality agreement and privacy act.
