If you are wondering whether to create your own conference registration system or to get a custom built one, it’s important to know what benefits you will see if you chose to get a custom-built registration system. Online registration systems involve far more than uploading a form onto your website. Their complex nature works best, and suits your ultimate purpose, when you opt for a nonprofit event registration system that has been designed for your specific needs.

Most business consultants will tell you when analyzing costs, that if your ROI is less than 18 months, you build. If it's more, you buy, lease, rent, whatever. What does that mean to you. Well, you'll have to come up with an estimate of how much it costs you to manually handle and run everything that you'd be building in the solution, and give it a dollar amount. If it can be built and automated for 1.5 times that amount or less, get it built!

Factors To Consider When Selecting Your Event System

There are several factors to consider when choosing the type of event registration system that your company or organization will need:

  • What is the nature of the attendees?
  • What information would you need from them?
  • Would you be processing any payments such as donations or purchases during the event?
  • Is there a registration fee that can be paid online?

The system you choose should have a simple form for the attendees and be organized well enough for you to collate and organize the inputs. It is also important to ensure that this system provides useful and fast reports. In addition to custom made reports, you will also want 24/7 online access, data export services and password protection.

Regardless of whether an event is organized for a nonprofit eCommerce company, or for a large corporation, it is important that everything remains organized and runs smoothly before, during and after the event. The right conference registration system can help achieve this for your organization.
