eROI Event Spreads Holiday Cheer

I recently got an invitation from Techspace, the office building that houses our New York City office, for a holiday party filled with networking, food, music and drinks. To my delight, when I clicked on the RSVP link I was taken to their eROI Event page. We did some custom themeing on their event site to match their website. What I love about this event is that they took the bones of our design and customized it for their purpose. The addition of the holiday image and red button give it a little more holiday cheer than their normal event site would have.

Halloween eROI Style

eROI employees live by the work hard – play hard motto and Halloween always presents a great opportunity to balance out the work. This year one of our employees took it upon herself to throw a bash and invite the gang. With Halloween a week away the invitations have been sent out and the tone has been set for this once a year event. Kelsey and her team came up with an amazing email that translated into a one of a kind event using eROI Event’s custom-theme capabilities. One of our designers, Stephen, created a zombie cool invite complete with his signature hash-tags (you would know why I say signature if you follow him on Twitter).

One of our Web Developers, Christine, busted out the production on both the email and the event. The result is a Halloween art piece brought to life.

Online Event Registration Just Got Sexier

This year’s theme for our company appreciation party was put to a vote. After the votes were tallied the theme was shrouded in mystery until a team email was sent with the reveal in true eROI Rock star fashion. This year it was fated to be… Summer White Party! Using our new eROI Event system we created a totally themed event that the email linked to. Check out the process for creating The eROI Summer White Party.

The finished product, see how it was done below.

The first thing you see when you log in is the dashboard. To create an event you click the “create and event” button on the left hand side.

It will prompt you to put in some basic information about your event. The event description even supports html!

Next you create tickets, registration dates and the event schedule.

After you input everything into the fields your event will look like something like this. You will still have the options to edit or delete anything that has been created. You can have more than one ticket set up for each event too.

Once all the info is entered for the event it is time to customize. All the customization fields are in the “Customize” tab.

The customized ticket fields can capture important information like name and email or they can be fun, in this case “What Bling are you Bringing?”

This is where it gets really cool. The Theme Editor let’s you truly make the event look like your own. You can change the header, footer or entire style sheet. You have to know some html and css but with a basic knowledge you can do great things.

And like the icing on the cake, the email receipt had to be custom too. There is html and plain text options and you are able to change both.

All that’s left is to publish and enjoy your new event!

And like I said it wouldn’t be complete without the thank you email.

eROI Launches Event Registration Software – Beta Release

Ryan Buchanan — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:20:23 +0000

We, at eROI, have been working the last year on creating a new generation of Event Registration Software, eROI Event, with an enhanced user experience. We are currently in the Beta Launch Phase with a limited feature set, but we are excited to get this early-release version of the product out in front of our clients and the tech community in Portland. Our goal is to gather real user feedback as we continue to develop and enhance the product. We are offering a freemium version of the product for free events, but should a user prefer to hold paid events, we can enable the Payment Gateway feature for a minimal monthly fee of $50.00.

Novel concept, but I actually used our eROI Event tool to create an event for our Employee Disco Party on June 26th (if you are one of the 2 friends that employees can invite, then you too can join in the fun). I thought some screen shots of the back-end admin area would help you see why we are excited about this beta release (even though the feature set is slightly limited for the next 1-2 months until we get feedback from all of you that want to signup for a FREE account for free events (to use for RSVPs to dinner parties, seminars, BBQs, industry networking events, business meetings, etc.)

During this Beta Release, we will continue to support, maintain, and offer our eventROI product to our clients for complex events as it contains a larger feature set than the current Beta release of eROI Event. The goal is to eventually replace eventROI with eROI Event, when the features of eROI Event exceed those of eventROI. eROI Event has been developed in a manner that will allow users the ability to upgrade easily.

Please write your own haiku about ways you’d like to use this event registration tool – I’m waiting to see your haiku in the comments below.
