For a neophyte, visiting the web page for JumpStart-It was an eye-opener; until then, I thought a business party involved a case of liquor and a few bags of chips and Nuts’n Bolts (I admit they were always small, casual parties).
Take for instance organizing a seminar online – there are forms to fill out to reserve rooms, tables (or booths), arrange for classes or meetings, and so on. JumpStart-It allows you to set up custom databases with the appropriate fields, and place the forms online. So if you’re arranging for a special event not covered in the ‘other’ products, you can add it specifically here.
It also arranges for payment, so once people have enrolled for an event, fees can be collected. And it lets you do partial payments, for example collecting a down payment for a hotel room or a seminar.
One you’ve set up the fields you need, the program can upload the form to your website.
Another feature: the program manages registrees, so you can output a list as needed, or email attendees (for instance, to acknowledge reservations).
That’s just the tip of the iceberg – if you are in event management or simply planning a seminar or class, you could find this a great way to streamline your work.
With a 15-day test drive, you can decide if it’s right for you before buying. And if you do manage events, I recommend you give it at least a try – it could be the answer to a lot of your event management problems!
