An overview of how to manage event registrations
Easy to Use Event Registration & Payment Processing
Membee’s Events widget makes it easy for you to promote your events on lists and calendars on your website making event registration and payment processes really easy. No pop-ups or multi-step process means increased event sales! Membee’s Card Vault makes it easy for members to store their credit card information which reduces future event checkouts to a single click.
Member & Non-Member Event Pricing
Give your members a better price! Membee protects member event pricing with login. This ensures that only members can purchase and register at this price. You can make the member price visible to everyone so that non-members can see the value of being a member.
Automatically Display and Hide Early Bird Pricing
Membee makes it easy to provide a financial incentive to get event purchasers to sign up early. You simply give Membee the date and time of the early bird price and it takes care of the process of removing the registration and replacing it with the regular priced registration as your event approaches.
Control Quantities Available
Sometimes there are only limited quantites for specific registrations. Overselling an event may simply not be an option and it’s essential to account for no-shows to maximize the event’s revenue. The Capacity feature gives you control over the entire event and even for each item you wish to offer. You can set a near-capacity warning to stay notified when it’s coming close to full.
Sell Registrations to Specific Membership Statuses
Selling your event items at different prices for your gold, silver, and bronze members just got easy. Membee can sell specific event pricing to membership subsets. This means only those that meet the criteria can take advantage of the pricing. This way, your bronze level members won’t be able to purchase the special discounted gold level price.
Bundle Your Event Items into One Purchase
You can sell a group of your event items into one registration. By creating a packaged bundle sold at a discounted price, the value of the package increases and provides a larger incentive for registrants to participate in your event. Membee will automatically allocate the amount sold of each item included in the bundle for proper reporting.
Gather Custom Attendee Details
Every event is different. You can create custom fields for each event item on the fly to gather information from the registrants. Whether a meal or session choice, the custom fields help you capture the essential information. Membee’s powerful Event Summary report tallies the responses to these custom fields so you can see how many “medium” golf shirts or “chicken” meals you need.
Use Conditions to Sell Exclusive Items
Want to display a secondary item only when the primary item is purchased? Membee’s Conditional Event Item capability lets you set conditions on items to increase sales opportunities. Purchasing one item opens up the opportunity to purchase an exclusive secondary item that was not originally listed, whether that’s a guest registration at a discounted rate or electricty for your trade show booth!
Offer & Promote Event Sponsorships
Sell a limited number of event sponsorship at different levels that are best suited for your event!
Anyone in your community has the opportunity to purchase sponsorships at their convenience. New sponsorships can be promoted in the event to highlight their valued commitment.
Shareable Unique URL For Each Event
Every event has its own unique URL to make it easy for you to share and promote your events such as your newsletters, on social media… anywhere! Any visitors will be directed to the event page where they can view the event’s details and register on any browser and device – even while they’re on the go!
Preview Your Event Before It Goes Live
Before it gets to the eyes of the public, “preview mode” ensures your event is still a draft and can’t be found publicly, allowing you to thoroughly refine the event details before it’s ready to go. What you see is exactly what it’ll show when it’s live!
When you’re ready, disable preview mode in one click and start promoting your event!
Copy & Reuse Event Settings
Built the best-looking event for your annual conference or monthly meeting? Easily copy it in 2-clicks to re-use it!
Event registrations won’t transfer over so you can have a fresh start and keep the hardworking event settings.
Automatic Purchase Confirmation Sent
Every event in Membee has an event purchase confirmation email template you can modify. It is unique to the event and sends to the purchaser automatically when a purchase is made. The email includes key information such as date, time, location and the details of their registration or any other pertinent information you add so when delivered, it says exactly what you want it to say.
Send Unique Info Based on The Item Purchased
Need to send specific information when a specific item is purchased? The system will automatically add your custom text to the sales confirmation email sent to the purchaser when certain items are purchased – this is perfect to send a link to an upcoming webinar upon registration or instructions related to the purchased item.
Automated Pre-Event Marketing
Maximizing an event’s attendance maximises revenue. Every event planner will tell you that they wish they had the time to figure out who has registered and who hasn’t so they can target compelling communication to those yet to register. Membee do it for you automatically. You set the message and how often it goes while Membee figures out who hasn’t registered and sends your message to them.
Automated Post-Event Communication
The day after a big event is so rewarding! You’re exhausted but happy that the next one isn’t for a while. The last thing you want to do is send a bunch of communication for the event that is now in your rearview mirror. Membee can take care of it for you automatically. Send a quick “thank you”, a link to your post event survey, or a link to your next event. At the same time, you can send a message to non-registrants pointing out what a great event they missed!
View Detailed Event Participation History
If your events are a valued member benefit, then event participation is a powerful tool in retaining your membership. All event participation history is visible on the member’s record so at a glance, you can see how engaged that member is. Membee’s powerful Participation/Non-Participation Report makes it easy to identify participation trends or identify members who are not participating so you can target them and get them re-engaged!
Event Budgeting & Real Time Reporting
Got a great idea for a new event but not sure if the numbers will work? No problem. Setup a hidden event in Membee that contains your assumptions, sales estimates, and related costs. Membee will build a pro forma event budget for you. Tweak pricing and sales estimates and if everything looks good, make the event “live” in a single click. Membee will update your budget in real time and show you the variance between your assumptions and what is actually happening.
Members Can Add Community Events
Looking to build a stronger community? You can allow members to submit their own events into a community calendar, requiring approval by your staff before it’s posted. The community event can direct visitors to the off-site page to register. This is perfect for organizations that highly involve community interaction or hold plenty of board meetings!
User Notifications
Membee keeps you in the loop while it does all the work. You specify which of your Membee user subscribers are notified when event registrations come in.
Mobile Ready
Of course, Membee’s Events widget has a responsive design so your events can be purchased and paid for from any mobile device while they’re on the go!
