eROI Days Email Agency

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.

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.

The eROI presenters, Dylan Boyd, Alex Williams, and I, have traveled all over the country to give presentations on various topics from Building Community Online to The Value of a Welcome Email Program to New Trends in Measuring the Success of your Online Marketing & Social Media Efforts. This blog post is an overload of resource material for 3 great presentations – enjoy!

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.

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.)

The pictures / slideshow below of the eROI camping trip at Timothy Lake on the back side of Mt. Hood is good, but it’s a bit biased towards the family fun side of things. Kelsey will need to reveal the late night photos and video of some of the drinking games and intriguing conversations. All in all – a great time was had by all 25 folks who joined for a great overnight trip. The link to the slideshow is here if you want to see the full size of the pictures – http://picasaweb.google.com/ryanbuch99/EROICampingJuly08AtTimothyLakeMtHood.

The company eROI didn’t get married, but two amazing people (Chris and Tatom Masagatani) tied the knot on a Ranch outside of a tiny town called Dayton in Central Washington. Half the company was present and had a blast. Truly, the pictures and videos in the slideshow below say it all. Both families are super genuine and made the event an unbelievably special occasion:

If you didn’t catch our email yesterday and you attended or participated in the big eROI fashion party called FIVE a couple weeks ago, here it is below. Also, we have new video to show you.

The new eROI party video – check it out to see if you are in the video:

Reunite on Ice (ROI) – you inspired me last night. I yelled my heart out for you. I sang off-key in the shower this morning. I can’t stop thinking about how awesome your performance was last night at PAF’s Battle of the Bands.

Everyone was amazing – Mike on the drums, Mitch on keyboards, Sam in his acid-washed jeans on the bass, Alex w/ some insane guitar solos and even better facial expressions, James for belting it out then ripping off his shirt at the appropriate time, Chris for some mad freestyle rapping to “Another One Bites the Dust”, but the MVP goes to the mustache-wearing, hip-gyrating Victor Nakada with special moves like the fake tear streaming down his face, high intensity – AMAZING.

I’ve had proud moments of my teams in the past, but this one was one of the proudest.

Thanks for bringing home the trophy yet again! And, thanks to all the eROI band supporters – I hope you all show up to Band Camp this summer. Because, that one time…at band camp…
