REGISTRATION AT THE CLICK OF A BUTTON

We can incorporate an online system for conference registration, hotel reservations and even offer travel services, all as a seamless process for your attendees.

It makes perfect sense. If your attendee base is online, then why waste the postage to send them hard copies of your registration brochure and application form? Instead, use the technology at your disposal to get the word out to attendees by e-mail, link them to an online registration system that resembles your conference or event website and reduce staff time spent on data entry.

You'll end up saving money in printing and mailing costs. And making faster work of the registration process means receiving information you need sooner, getting paid in real time, cutting down on overtime costs at the back end. Your attendees will appreciate the easier way of getting the information they need, getting immediate confirmations and be in a position to conveniently share it with others, increasing your marketing with little or no effort.

So, forget the postal indicia and the fax machine. Go online with your next event. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner, take our word for that.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Social media has opened up a world of opportunities for marketing your events on Facebook,  LinkedIn, Twitter or blogs that focus on specific industries.  Don’t overlook  local community papers for getting the word out, especially if you can work up a human interest angle for your event.  However, never forget the personal touch to reach your audience.

THE WOW FACTOR

Adding the “WOW” Factor doesn’t always have to be over the top or expensive to create.  A change in the color scheme can be dramatic.  If you have always used white tablecloths with white napkins, try changing the napkin color to something vibrant, it will make your table pop.  Do away with expensive centerpieces and opt for locally grown flowering plants which your guests or volunteers can keep after the event.  Change the lighting in your room for a dramatic effect.  Pizzazz MEPG will work with industry partners to create “WOW” events within your budget.

WORKING WITH VOLUNTEERS

For Associations and Non-Profits, volunteer support is often the backbone of a successful event.  They provide  people power both behind the scenes and on-site.  How does one manage so many varying personalities so that the job gets done with everyone’s nerves in tact?  First and foremost, show appreciation for their assistance at every opportunity.  Second, have a plan for how your volunteers will be used.  Third, Communicate.  To learn the ends and outs of working with volunteers so you can keep them coming back year after year, contact us for  “ Keeping Happy Volunteers” a Handbook that shows you how to manage and maintain Volunteers.

4 EASY GREENING STEPS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR NEXT MEETING

1-Prevent Waste from the Start 

Update Mailing List- Reduce wasteful duplicate mailings by asking brochure recipients to contact you if they no longer want to receive your mailings or if their address or contact information has changed.

2-Send Workshop Handouts Electronically

Make presentation handouts available on-line or send then electronically on request
after the meeting or copy them onto re-used disks to distribute.

3-Save Money--Recycle

Use a Name tag holder collection box so that after the meeting, attendees can leave their nametags and holders for future use. No need to purchase every year.  

4-Include Vendors and Exhibitors

Ask vendors to join in with your “Green Meeting”.  Ask them to be mindful of amounts of brochures they distribute; encourage them to distribute useful, recycled-content promotion items or give-aways.
