Grass Roots Event Planning Tools

If you are working with a political campaign or planning some grass root efforts to gather information, collect campaign contributions, and help set up informational events for a campaign or speech, then RegOnline could be a very useful online application for you.

They make it very easy to setup event registration forms online. Plus, you can accept payments through their tools in the form of contributions or even fees for services or events, like a dinner event or town hall meeting. They also offer some great report management features so that you can keep track of attendees and their contribution amounts.

To take payments, you will need a merchant account. The number can be plugged into their system. If you do not already have a merchant account they can help you get set up with one within about a week.

The service even allows you to follow up with attendees sending confirmation emails along with receipts, plus meeting or campaign materials. This automated emailing service can definitely cut down on physical mailings.

They offer two different pricing levels. You can pay $150 as a flat fee plus $3.50 per registrant or no flat fee and charge $4.75 per registrant. So the break even point is around 120 registrants, but at such a low amount, you can easily recoup that small fee through event charges and fees or contributions.

The service is free to try!

You can get more information on signing up and see video tutorials, or try a free sample demo online through their site. Then you can get running with their event registration forms products and streamline your grass roots campaigning throughout the 2008 election cycle.

Their tools generate very professional registration forms and establish a high level of trust for contributors that might be hesitant about transacting online.
