I heartily recommend Ticket Tailor as an alternative to Eventbrite. We made the shift to Ticket Tailor even before Eventbrite started charging for free events, because Eventbrite showed itself to have a dodgy tendency to cancel events on political grounds, which really felt wrong to us. Ticket Tailor is really intuitive to use. My colleague who uses it the most would say that he's hoping for a few minor tweaks, such as some enhanced capabilities in relation to contacting attendees (much of the focus at present is on enabling you to correspond with the buyer, whereas often you need to send responses to the actual attendees, and that isn't easy at the mo), but I have faith that the team at TT will be working on these things! Here's a referral link if anyone wants to try Ticket Tailor https://lnkd.in/eYVjwy66 I believe this gets you 50 free credits, plus there's some benefit for us too. But that's not why I recommend them...they are generally a much better all round proposition than Eventbrite! So, even if you don't use this link, do give Ticket Tailor a go!

I come across so many really bad company PowerPoint templates - pretty much forcing people to end up with bad slides in their presentations. Even some marketing departments create slides that don't have the best effect. It's best to learn from the professionals - maybe even make use of them! #powerpoint #presentation #design #templates #training #coaching

Thought to share some practical takeaways from someone who helped in the background to plan these events... 🟢 Host an event on Mon-Wed, venues have lower F&B mins 🟠 Work with local restaurants instead of chains; they tend to be more flexible and willing to accommodate your needs 🔵 ASK AWAY. Some of the best details at our events came about simply because we asked if they were possible... and most of the time, people said yes! 🟣 Consider hosting a cocktail hour instead of a sit-down dinner; this allows for more flexibility in predicting attendance and no-show rates 💖 Overall, people are eager for human connection; real-life experiences make an impact and drive awareness in ways digital campaigns can’t

With the recent change to Eventbrite's pricing model, I have been testing alternative providers for our relatively small-fry networking breakfasts... I have been thoroughly impressed by Ticket Tailor. I've found the pricing to be competitive, the interface is easy to navigate and I've received nothing but lovely comments from guests completing the checkout process. It looks good, reports exactly what I need without any fuss and after the initial setup, it is already saving on the admin. No gatekeeping here - well worth a look if you're in the market for a new provider. Not an ad - just an impressed customer. https://lnkd.in/e-CvkMhx #Events #Marketing
