So You Signed Up For Eventastic’s Branded Ticketing And Registration? Let’s Get Started!

Your Account is Already Set Up & Ready For You

When you signed up as a Pro-Licence Branded client on Eventastic.com, an email was sent to you indicating a Branded account was created for you and all funds through transactions made on your account will now flow directly to you! Within that email was a custom branded client webpage link linking you to your Branded Ticketing Platform! The email you used to sign up automatically made you the admin of your account. (If you want more admins added you must contact our office for those additions to be made)

How You Get Started

In order to begin using all your new innovative marketing and management tools simply click the custom ‘new user’ link that was emailed to you by our admin office. (If you have misplaced the email with your branded user link then please contact our office & we’ll resend it to you.) This link will always be the gateway to your branded site!

Once clicked, Sign In and you’ll be directed to your new branded search landing page:

  • Click ‘Account’ in the top bar to enter your general account info like name, logo, business description (once complete, the  pages you create will have the ‘Contact’ section auto-load with your info)
  • Click ‘Create’ when ready to start creating a micro-site page. As your pages are created they will appear in your micro-site pages list for editing purposes or to check your transaction dashboard.
  • As micro-sites are created and if made to be open to the ‘Public’ you will see the clickable cards appear on your search page. If your search page has more than one card listed we suggest sharing the link to your search page to allow registrants or purchasers to see all what you offer and then choose what they are interested in. See example below:

Your individual ticketing/registration page created will be your micro-website for marketing and managing all aspects of what you’re offering. Selling tickets? Taking registrations? Sharing an agenda or listing speakers? Sell gift certificates? Accepting donations or crowdfunding for a cause? Want to share a personalized video message? Whatever the bells and whistles you decide to add to your microsite, you’ll be able to share your link through email and/or all social media channels as well as link directly to your own website! PLUS, if you click to make your page open to the public it will be auto-loaded to Eventastic’s Listings HUB for added exposure.

Got Questions?

We’re always available to answer your questions! Please email support@eventastic.com and we will be happy to assist!
Hope this has been helpful! Looking forward to continuing to offer great online tools and tips serving your ticketing & registration needs.

Cheers!

I have had the great pleasure on several occasions to attend Silent Auctions at various sporting charity galas (sometimes to my husband’s dismay) and have had great fun browsing the items and attempting to out bid other bidders for items I simply MUST HAVE. Whether they be items relating to decor, sporting memorabilia, art, and personals like jewelry and gift baskets; there are always several items that draw a lot of attention causing great excitement in the room. On more than one occasion, my husband has pulled up the car following a Silent Auction to help load all our new treasures. The drive home is often a mix of our excitement and satisfaction in how we were able to give to the cause and how we had a bidding war with Mr. or Mrs ______ on a certain item.

New Technology for Silent Auctions

New Silent Auction Technology As an advocate for Silent Auctions, I worked closely with the Eventastic development team to create an effortless way for event organizers to include silent auctions as part of their fundraiser. Eventastic’s Silent Auction Feature allows people to browse and bid on silent auction items months prior to the event to stir excitement right on their event website where participants can get all the event details include tickets to attend the fundraising event.

By creating your FREE account with Eventastic.com and utilizing the Silent Auction feature, you will:

  • 1.Not need additional people to staff the event
  • 2.Provide sponsors far more visibility
  • 3.Auto generate bid sheets and details
  • 4.Have all bidding data organized and stored
  • 5.Give participants the opportunity to view items prior to the event
  • 6.Totally streamline the payment process
  • 7.Avoid line ups and cash out chaos

Tips to a Successful Silent Auction

We know that every fundraising dollar is a struggle. Silent Auctions are held to maximize revenue for a fundraising event. Your goal is to make as much money for your worthy cause as you can and have participants leave the event happy so they will look forward to a future similar event.

Tips to host a successful silent auction:

  • 1.Keep it simple for participants both to participate and cash out
  • 2.Offer information about the silent auction far in advance
  • 3.Display a list of silent auction items prior to the event to stir excitement
  • 4.Highlight sponsors’ names with each item giving them more visibility prior to and throughout event (more likely to donate again at future events)
  • 5.Have a variety of items available for auction that appeal to various ages, interests and genders
  • 6.Have an energetic clear speaking person to MC the event
  • 7.Use a projector and screen to optimize communication and create excitement
