One of the great things I love about cloud computing is the ingenuity that is applied to bring new online services to people in areas that I would never have thought of. Take event organisation for example, it’s a time consuming and potentially explosively disastrous activity that has suddenly been made simple by a new service called DoAttend. As the web page explains: “An online event registration service that allows you to create, publish and promote your event for free. Set it up on your personalized event page with our easy to use registration system and have your event visible to the world at http://yourevent.doattend.com, within a matter of minutes. Provide your attendees with eTickets for that professional touch, even if its a free event.”
Setting up an event page is simplicity itself. Just sign up and you can publicise your event, take bookings and issue eTickets in a matter of minutes. If your event is free, that’s it, you don’t have to pay a thing. If you are charging for your tickets then DoAttend charges a small commission through PayPal of 1.5% per transaction plus 49 cents per paying delegate.
Creating events is done through a WYSIWYG editor and DoAttend allows you to create your own banner image for corporate personalisation. DoAttend event pages integrate seamlessly with googles maps, calendars and social media networks.
Attendees can register by selecting the ticket type and quantity. If you shared discount coupon codes, they would be able to apply the same while registering.
Ticketing is simple, too. Set the sales period, the maximum quantity on sale and even what you want to see on each of your tickets. Once the data to be displayed on each ticket is customized, you can even preview your tickets to see what your attendees will receive. DoAttend also allows you to setup discount codes for your tickets. Define which tickets they apply to, maximum usage limits and validity periods.
