Event Tip - Check In Easy



Some clients resist change, other embrace it. When working with clients who still love the old fashion check in tables with paper lists (categorized in every way imaginable) and alphabet signs, I always say STOP! There is an easier way. One that requires less work, and runs faster. Registration should be a breeze, whether it’s for a cocktail party or a conference. At BENG! we test out several different options and go with the right one that fits each event. Every event is different, and the technology you use should reflect that. Recently, I used Check In Easy for a cocktail party one of my client’s was producing. It was a breeze! Not only do you get an accurate count of who is there and who isn’t, it is digital. Which means you don’t have to spend hours trekking through your excel files or left badges to see who was actually at your event.

Why Check In Easy?
It was created by planners, so they know what we go through at registration.

You can easily download their apps to your iPhone or iPad and get started. Once you have your account, anyone can log in with your info, download and get people check in. Which is great if you are working temp staff and see there is a rush at the door and need a few extra hands. Keep in mind that if you are a Droid user, this system is not for your. As far as I can tell it is a Apple friendly company. 

Packages
Check In Easy has several packages for you to choose from. Have a small event coming up that you would like to test with Check In Easy? Use their free package (up to 50 guests) and see how it works for you.

Try Check In Easy or any of the other check in apps that are out there. It will make your life easier and your client will be happy! It’s a win-win.

3 New, Fun and Useful Event Tools



Today I want to highlight some great, new event tools out there. These start ups should make our lives as Event Planners and Brand Marketers a little easier - and more fun!






DoubleDutch
This company let's you create your own branded mobile app for your event. The apps provide great analysis, allow you to communicate to your attendees, and provides a social aspect. Get all your attendees plugged in before, during and after the event. The app will run on all smartphones and tablets - so you no longer have to choose between Apple and Android.








Quench Buggy
This start up provides sage, clean, mobile water stations for events. No longer do you have to worry about how to get water to all your festival goers. Any remote location can now have water without the water bottle waste. Produce some branded re-usable water bottles and hey presto...you have water!






Social Pix
Who doesn't consider event integration with Facebook. It is a trend that is definitely here to stay. Social Pix allows a photographer to take a picture that is then sent to an upload kiosk. The picture is then ready to upload onto Facebook and be Liked! See here for how it works: Social Pix
