E-Marketing and Promotion

You can be sure your message will be heard with the marketing and promotional capabilities in Certain. Send invites and emails to potential attendees, collect preferences and survey responses in one place, and build awareness with branded forms and websites that are customizable and easy to setup. Management of email campaigns is easier with integrated statistics and auto-unsubscribe. Viral Marketing can be incorporated into your event, so that attendees can email an invitation with an event link to their friends or tell others about the event via Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook.

Online Registration and Attendee Management

The customizable registration forms in Certain allow organizations to offer a variety of personalized experiences. Planners can gather participant info, track important data, send event confirmations, and make it easier for attendees to edit or cancel their registrations. Certain supports the creation of unlimited registration pages, while user-specific login and rules can provide a tailored registration for each attendee. Planners can manage on-site check in and logistics; and even produce badges, rosters and other reports with options that allow customization of every detail.

Certain Mobile

Certain Mobile is an industry first, easy-to-use application that allows attendees to access event information on most web-enabled devices, including iPads and iPhones, Blackberries and Android smartphones. Run a greener event by reducing the production of paper programs and schedules, while keeping attendees more engaged with real-time information they can access on-the-go. Certain Mobile also has banner space built-in that can be used for event promotion or as a high-value sponsorship opportunity. Certain Mobile can be implemented with just a few clicks during event setup and no extra data entry is needed.

Collect Payments and Track Financials

Certain allows you to specify and sell tickets and merchandise, as well as charge registration fees which can include automatic rollover from early bird to late registration. Process credit cards in real time or delay handling until attendee approval using Certain’s secure online payment connection with PCI Security Level 1 compliance for assured security. Other financial features help manage invoicing and taxation (including VAT/GST).
