#### Pros

Event Manager is easy to use, displays all of the information in a simple, easy-to read way, and packages well with Member Solutions other software options.

#### Cons

The price to pay for it if you are primarily conducting free events is not really justified. Event Manager is best put to use if you are charging large numbers of customers for events regularly. Otherwise there are too many other options to let people know about events happening at your business and to simply have people pay through the business front.

#### Vendor response

Lauren, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're grateful for the opportunity to provide your and your business with a simple way to collect registrants for an event. If you have a question regarding forms for free events please contact our support team at 877.600.3811. Thank you for your partnership. -- The Member Solutions Team

### I am Impressed!

- Overall rating: 5/5

- Reviewed: September 2014
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I have broken my whole experience into 3 Phases! However, before I tell you why I am so impressed I want to give Kudos to the people that made this happen. They are Kerry Mull who helped coordinate my training adventure with the Event Manager application and Pete Simko who was my Trainer that had the patience of Job! Both were very professional and provided superior Customer Service! Phase I-I was looking for a Registration Site for my business that was affordable. I found Event Manager and scheduled a Demo Phase II- Kerry Mull explained the process; I got the Demo and was sold immediately. The Criteria I used was: a. Easy to Use b. Affordable c. Flexibility to do a variety of things d. Easy to coordinate with my Web Designers e. Support Team to help me navigate "Road Blocks" in learning the system. Member Solutions/Event Manager met all of my criteria and has surpassed my expectations on numerous occasions. The Customer Service has far exceeded my expectations alone. Phase II- Received my Training which introduced me to creative ways of formatting the Registration so the View from the Students perspective would be inviting and easy to use. Phase III- Follow-up was awesome. Kerry introduced me to a new feature called "Linking" and it was incomparable! She made creative recommendations which I would have never imagined doing. She saved me so much time and I have visions of how I would like to use the Event Manager Application going forward! I can't thank you enough for you support!

#### Pros

Event Manager is convenient because I already use Member Solutions for my member management. I like that I set up ongoing events without much maintenance. Its pretty easy to use since I have learned how to use it and I can copy my old forms and not have to start over. Customer service is pretty good most of the time.

#### Cons

Sometimes customers have trouble registering for events, I'm not sure why. I don't like that the event doesn't size to the device that my customer is accessing it from. The Event Manager rep told me they thought they had fixed that, but none of my forms size correctly when viewed by the customer. The design interface is terrible and very difficult to make it work correctly. I just do the best I can and have to accept whatever it turns out to look like. I don't like that if a customer wants a refund, there is a service fee for that.

As a small business we did everything via a phone call. As our business grew we needed a better system! Member Solutions made our life so much easier. I went from using a calendar and handwriting all party details to creating a custom, professional form for my customers to complete. I was able to get all the information needed, collect their deposits, and have them sign the contract (huge perk) in one place. Member Solutions made it easy for my to go back and check the status of my parties, email my customers, and maintain an accurate party schedule! We are so appreciative for the burden that Member Solutions took off our shoulders giving us our time back!!! A++ service ... We highly recommend the service!

In the past 29 years of running our conference, every single attendee stated that this years registration process was the best they had every seen and that is Thanks to Event Manager. We used every feature on events manager to our benefit. For example, the online registration was seamless best part was the payment system. In addition, the system allowed us to generate reports so we could sort the registrants by region, who paid, and most importantly - who still owed money! All of this allowed us to register and collect 100% of the fees from all of the attendees. Thanks again for all your help. We look forward to another great year.

Typically when running an organization the membership usually sits back and enjoys the benefits of the few working.
