Constant Contact Makes Events More Mobile

New upgrades to Constant Contact’s EventSpot platform are making it easier for businesses to manage their events while on-the-go.

This is because the event management platform has introduced mobile features that help streamline the ticketing and check-in process. The new features include a mobile check-in application and an integration with Apple's Passbook.

The Event Check-In app allows event planners quickly and accurately check-in guests. This is because they can use the app to confirm registration by first name, last name and email address, as well as check-in attendees by name, ticket number or QR code. Moreover, EventSpot’s integration with Passbook makes it easy for iOS6 users to download and access their tickets with the push of a button.

“Small businesses clearly recognize the opportunity that mobile offers. Last fall we released results of an EventSpot Customer Survey in which 81 percent said they expect to increase their use of mobile technology to market their events in the coming year,” said Chris Litster, vice president and general manager of EventSpot from Constant Contact. “The savings, both time and money, that mobile technologies present to our customers are huge. With these mobile integrations, EventSpot is putting our small business and nonprofit customers at the forefront of mobile innovation in event management.”

If your business is planning an event, you might want to check out EventSpot – Constant Contact’s rebranded event management solution.

EventSpot’s focus remains on helping small businesses and nonprofits hold successful events – from online promotion to registration. However, the platform also now integrates with payments solution provider ProPay, which enables EventSpot clients to accept credit card payments from registrants.

The integration offers an all-in-one merchant account and payment gateway service that is built specifically for small businesses. In fact, EventSpot clients are able to accept credit card payments from event registrants through their merchant accounts and Authorize.net, all within EventSpot. This means that registrants will be able to sign up for events from the registration page and pay with a credit card without being redirected to other sites for payment.

Aside from payment processing, EventSpot also offers clients tools for creating registration forms, invitations and an event homepage. Additionally, users can leverage the platform to promote events through social networks, as well as track payments and attendees.

“EventSpot is designed to help small businesses and nonprofits plan events more effectively, promote their events and more efficiently capture and track event registration,” says Christopher M. Litster, Vice President and General Manager of EventSpot at Constant Contact. “Our event management product continues to provide small businesses and organizations, who hold events, with a comprehensive online tool, encompassing everything from event promotion, to robust registration and Web-based meeting tools, to analytics and post-event communication. The new name reflects the true value that Constant Contact brings to the table: EventSpot is a one-stop, online shop for the small businesses and organizations that meets their marketing and management needs before, during and after their events.”
