Came across a great site this week, when helping a client organise an event he was promoting. He wanted to take bookings online and make it as painless as possible. He’d been told of a couple of sites by associates and I tried one of them out for him yesterday when sending out a broadcast email.  Very easy to use and set up, you can customise the page after setting up the initial information.

The site is called Trybooking.com and this morning I logged back in to see if he’d gotten any bookings.  He had!  He probably receives notification at his email address but you can create a pdf or printed report when you log in.  The site allows you to allocate how many seats are available and even seating positions, so if you have a theatre to book out, or a room with numbered seating, this site is ideal for it.  It will handle your payments for you, or you can simply have a ‘free’ event – which my client is running.

How much does it all cost? Very little. This page gives you the info.

The site collects all the information for you and makes it easy for those booking for your event.

So, if you’re an Aussie VA running an event, no matter what size, for yourself or a client, this site is definitely worth using. Think I’ll be using this for future events – wish I’d known before promoting AVAC this year!
