Refining Event Sponsorship with Eventbrite and Sponsorhub

Event organizers seeking an easier way to find sponsors and sell tickets for their events will be overjoyed to hear that Eventbrite has integrated with Sponsorhub - a startup which provides a platform for brands to identify, assess and sponsor events.

Sponsorhub essentially offers ratings of events on both a local and national level. The platform has essentially just integrated Eventbrite’s API and now enables event organizers to import their upcoming events from Eventbrite and save time by eliminating the need to re-enter event information into both platforms. In parallel, Sponsorhub users that have not set up ticketing for one of their events can do so from the convenience of their Sponsorhub dashboard.

The integration is not neccessarily revolutionary by any means, but there's been a lack of innovation in both of these spaces historically so it's good to see some progress being made here from both Eventbrite and Sponsorhub - which I believe through a cursory examination - has a very bright future.

Most email service providers whose clients need assistance with event marketing often integrate with a third-party system such as Eventbrite.

That's not the case for Constant Contact, who today announced an onlne event marketing service designed to help their customers promote and manage registrations/RSVPs for meetings, seminars and other events.

The solution enables users to create a homepage for the event, send email invitations, set up an online calendar and provide an event link that can be distributed on any website, blog or social network. Reminders, updates, and thank you confirmations can also be sent to registrations. Perhaps most impressive is the ability of the system to process credit cards (via PayPal).

“Small businesses and organizations thrive on their ability to continually strengthen customer relationships, and hosting events is a great way to do so,” said Gail Goodman, CEO, Constant Contact.

”Event Marketing offers our customers a professional, affordable, and efficient solution for managing and promoting an event from start to finish. As with our other product offerings, Event Marketing addresses the unique needs of the small business owner or nonprofit organization manager and turns an important, but often overwhelming marketing and management task into a simple and effective process.”

The solution is priced at $15/mo (for up to five open events, unlimited invitations) but a free 60-day trial is available (no credit card required) so you can check it out.
