Meeting Registration Ideas.
Activities done well
When you are
taking registration for an Event that has multiple activities, why not
provide more information and more control to your guests as they register.
It will save you a lot of time later with follow-up, and provide your
guests with a more gratifying experience.
1. Options. Most event registration systems let guests
sign up for the spa – but that’s about it. What treatment they
get and when exactly is often left for onsite or an off-line conversation.
Easier, is to provide all the option during the registration process.
First, it saves you time. Second, it keeps all this information in a
single place so you can send it to the resort in one email.
2. See who else is participating. How very Web 2.0! We
know this doesn’t apply to every activity - which is why it’s
an optional setting for each activity – but when I am signing up to
a golf tee-time, or deciding which bus trip to go on – it would
surely help me to choose if I could see who else had signed up. It will
only hit you as a customer service issue later – when guests ask to
switch activities to be with their friends – so why not let them
manage it themselves upfront and save yourself that time.
3. Private Activities. Here is an exception to
transparency. Do you ever have a private dinner that a few guests will be
attending but that you do not want to be visible to everyone else? Making
a dinner Private allows the administrator to choose discretely who
can attend, but the dinner still shows up on personal schedules of
those included.
If you have 5 minutes, try registering yourself (click
here) for this sample event, where you will see options for most
activities, and participants for some of them. You will not see the CFO
dinner, which is private. Register first, then click the Activities tab to
sign up for activities, then see the result in your Schedule tab.
