Maximize your DMO's event success with 7 key strategies from Eventsforce

Planning events for destination marketing organizations (DMOs) can be stress-free with Eventsforce — an all-in-one platform designed to streamline the entire process. Seamlessly integrated with Simpleview CRM, Eventsforce covers your event planning from start to finish. If that sounds too good to be true … check out these seven ways the platform can make planning events easier for your destination.
 

1. All-in-One Capabilities

Your DMO can use Eventsforce to educate people about upcoming events. The all-in-one platform enables you to:

• Share the agenda
• Send invitations
• Handle registration and ticketing
• Connect with attendees via the mobile app
   

2. Event Sites Made Easy

Event websites can be built quickly, making planning and holding DMO and member events easy. In no time at all, you can create a complete online experience for potential attendees by creating agendas, adding speaker information, and offering multiple booker journeys based on categories. DMOs can help market the website once it’s ready on their events calendar and embed the registration into event pages.
 

3. Customizable & Creative

With Eventsforce customization features, destinations and the planners they work with can:

• Choose and insert their site icon
• Create an unlimited number of discount codes
• Incorporate their own badges and QR codes for networking purposes
• Customize the design by adding pages, color scheme, font style, and details collected from attendees
   

4. Seamlessly Integrated

You can build an event in Simpleview CRM to sync contacts, track money spent, build an attendee list based on member/partner user group, and import it into your event invitation list. Why is that beneficial, you ask? Because everything tracks back to the CRM, you can see all the events a member was invited to, whether they RSVP’d, and whether or not they attended. You can also use the Benefits Summary to track the money spent on the event and it’s economic impact on local businesses in your community.
 

5. FAM Trip Creation

You can create FAM agendas with the “FAM & Site Inspection” features; the integration with Simpleview CRM allows an instant event population on a DMO website through the Eventsforce widget.
 

6. A Robust Mobile App

The Eventsforce mobile app is a scalable event solution that gives you everything you need to drive attendee participation and build lasting relationships at events. Whether you’re running trade shows, multi-stream conferences, or anything in between — Eventsforce combines powerful registration and abstract management tools with a mobile app to engage attendees and boost event success.
 

7. Manage Event Websites & Registration

DMOs can offer to manage the event’s website and registration as an incentive to meeting planners. Because of the ease of use and ability to duplicate and clone events and details, you’ll make it easy for planners to hold future events in the destination and thus make them more likely to come back. Based on the contract you negotiate, you could make additional revenue to cover the costs of offering the service by adding a percentage to the ticket price.
