I’ve been teasing you for a while with the not-so-secret project we were working on. Here it is. It’s called the Good Event Registration Guide. I am sure you’ll love it.

This free ebook is a report looking at the current market offering of registration and ticketing solutions.

It is also a write up with advice on how to make the best decision for your event.

Here is some background…

A Massive Research

There are 3 lines of research we conducted:

– 200 event professionals ranked the most popular features of registration and ticketing providers;

– 300 providers were reviewed, 123 shortlisted and jotted in a features table to help the reader understand who offers what;

– 78 providers where assessed for their basic pricing structure identifying the expense in commissions and processing fee for a $100 ticket.

A Powerful Write-up

The feedback from the Event App Bible made us realise the importance of writing up some advice for such a delicate decision.

Registration and ticketing impact on some of the most sensible areas of your event such as budgeting and marketing. You want to get it right.

The Good Event Registration Guide includes best practices, common pitfalls, crucial elements to consider such as free vs paid events, elasticity of demand and audience tech friendliness.

The free ebook also provides a snapshot of the trends shaping the registration and ticketing of the future together with a word of advice from senior event professionals and event technology gurus.
