Low-cost Online Event Organization Service for Meetings, Sports and Special Events Launched by PowerObjects; ZapEvent Streamlines Paperwork and Report
Minneapolis, MN/Islamabad (PRWEB) January 18, 2008 -- A new, low-cost event online registration service called ZapEvent (www.zapevent.com) officially launched today that can take control of any registration for meeting planning, sports events, convention challenges or other special occasions with a few simple clicks and a variety of value-added user benefits. Developed and sold by PowerObjects, based in Minneapolis and Islamabad, ZapEvent eliminates the paperwork of manual registrations so that event and meeting managers have more time and money to focus on executing their events. The service also provides opportunities for users to personalize -- and own -- all data related to an event, plus the ability to do custom pricing, add on advertising and do up selling without outrageous fees or set-up charges.
"Without ZapEvent, it would have been impossible for us at a mostly all-volunteer organization to implement the kind of active website and online event registration system that Team Ortho needs to help us grow," notes John Larson, who runs Team Ortho, the non-profit organization that raises money for orthopedic research and conducts races around the country. "Today we can simultaneously manage the many Team Ortho racers that we have going in events all over the country and continue to have people sign up for future races, volunteer opportunities, segment data, process credit card charges, you name it, ZapEvent really is exceptional. It gives us the tools to overcome obstacles to growth, including things we didn't even know were hindering us. Other race event groups are just blown away by it," Larson adds.
"ZapEvent is an efficient and scalable system with many capabilities and also provides cost and time savings to any organization," says Dean Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer. "It's the cheapest and most customizable way to do online registration and provides a host of benefits, chief among them the system's ability to capture registrations, generate reports, filter out data that the organization can own and then use it to market to their participants. Unlike other online registration systems, we don't sell that data, it belongs to the company who runs the event. ZapEvent was created with one purpose and that was to provide a low cost system that any size organization can use for any size of event."
"There are an abundance of users for ZapEvent, from meeting planners and special event organizers to racing organizations to chambers of commerce, conferences, schools, class reunions, nonprofits and others," explains Jim Sheehan, PowerObjects' Chief Operating Officer and a frequent runner in Team Ortho races and other running events. "We think it's not only a smart and cost-effective tool for events but ZapEvent also could be considered a 'green' application since it reduces a considerable amount of paperwork and waste, and it's simple to learn, navigate and use. If running a race were only this easy!"
