Across our technology solutions we work with a number of Chambers of Commerce, providing registration and ticketing solutions that work for their communities. We know there are many Association Management platforms that are built for organizations like Chambers of Commerce to track the members, organizations, and individuals in their overall database, some of which include a lightweight event module. While that built-in events module may be great for some purposes, it is not purpose-built to help your event run more efficiently.
TicketSignup is an Open Event Platform
Luckily, unlike many vendors, TicketSignup’s ticketing platform (along with our peer-to-peer fundraising event and registration solutions) is completely open. That means that even if you sell tickets to your community festival on TicketSignup, you don’t have to move over your ticketing for a member dinner that’s more easily run from within your Association Management platform. Instead, with TicketSignup you can always select the right technology for each event, improving your attendee experience without creating more overhead for your team.
Common Ticket Events for Chambers of Commerce
Community events from Chamber of Commerce that we see find success on TicketSignup include:
- Festivals
- Concerts
- Golf Outings
- Tastings
Each of these events engage large numbers of the community with their member associations, requiring an easy purchasing path and and a smooth event day experience. For each of these, potential benefits of using dedicated ticket event software include:
- No Login Required. Why hinder a regular community member from purchasing a ticket because they don’t remember their login to your internal platform?
- Fast, Mobile-Responsive Ticket Purchasing. A potential attendee who can’t get through purchasing on their phone, and quickly, may never come back to try again.
- Ticket Grouping. Simplify the buying process for multi-day events with multiple options per day. TicketSignup’s grouping capabilities makes it easier for potential attendees to understand their options and easier for you to cap your venues appropriately.
- On-Site Tickets App. TicketSignup’s Tickets App makes it easy for you to check in your attendees in mere seconds – and even sell more tickets at the door.
- Built-In Promotional Tools. Automated referral rewards and social sharing customization help you spread the word and grow your event.
- Pricing Flexibility. Ensure full flexibility for your pricing strategy, including the ability to price by age, add price increase, offer ticket combos, and set premium pricing for your most popular events.
- Ticket Transfers. Cut down on customer service while increasing customer satisfaction by allowing attendees to transfer their tickets to a different day or time – for free or for a fee.
- Collect Donations. Opt to add a donation button for a soft donation ask within the ticket purchasing path.
In addition to ticket events, we see many Chambers of Commerce elect to use RunSignup’s Registration platform for a community 5K or Fun Run to ensure they have access to more complex participant management options and dedicated tools for endurance events. Regardless of which solution you choose, the core principles remain the same: your data is always your data, and we’ll never ask you to sign an exclusive contract.
