We have used Event Manager to create events that our members can register for.
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.

I did not feel I got my money's worth!
I got very little benefit. My company loss thousands of dollars. Money was lost big time!
Pros
Nothing!I had questions all the time. Everyone always busy. I was being charged left and right on things I had idea of. Asked questions and got answers like, "We'll get back to you and they never did!' Great disappointment. I trusted this company. Bad idea!
Cons
The software has so many features that one features overlaps another. Too many little features doing much of anything. It should have been made more simple. Too much red-tape and very easy for the company to scam . I feel that this is what happened to me.

I am Impressed!
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!

works pretty good for some items, but staff states that they have problems using it at times
it has helped with our inventory ordering for multiple staff members and locations. able to also look up past orders and review them
Pros
you can set up multiple things, Multiple staff can log on and order inventory that they need at anytime, which allows for the warehouse to fill orders easier.
Cons
kind of difficult to navigate through it as a new user. Staff has issues using it for warehouse orders, sometimes orders do not go thru, which causes some frustration with staff

I use event manager a few times a year when we have a seminar.
The main benefit of having this software is that when someone signs up for an event, they can pay online.
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.

Overall it has been a good experience
Pros
The ease of sharing events on social media and coping the media links. It is pretty user-friendly and simple to create different forms and I like how they have suggestion forms that you can copy from
Cons
It is difficult to add pictures when changing the Heather and it would be nice that once the payment is received, the phones are directly deposited into the account and set of having to wait until the end of the month

Easy to use and create what I want and need
This helps increase sales and awareness in my company.
Pros
I Love that I can create events that my members can register for at their convenience. They can register online for events or purchase anytime day or night. My next favorite thing is I can copy and reuse any previous form I have created. This saves a massive amount of time.
Cons
I dislike the font sizing area. I would like to be able to click on a word and find out what font size I am currently using so I know which direction to modify. Relatively small inconvenience.

We use event manager for internal and external events in our business and it works great.
Pros
I like the high degree of customizability for the variety of events, we like to put on. I also like that we can add pdf documents and flyers for download.
Cons
I wish you could add more pictures or video to an event form. I also think it could be helpful to be able to upload a larger file for client downloads.
Response from Jonas Software

Easy way to ensure payment and commitment for various events.
Pros
It is SUPER easy to post a link on our website. I love simply clicking on the html (that is within the event manager software) and knowing that it will display nicely on my site.
Cons
I dislike how the dates for cutoffs don't reset when you copy an event. I've made a few mistakes with that.

This is a great program!
Pros
I love how this software allows you to promote events for all students. Not only does it keep the student base organized, but it also helps to up sell fun events!
Cons
This software has so much to offer. Right now it may be too much for us as we already have a current POS. My question would be to check if it would be possible to pick and choose pieces of software to use.

Made life so much easier
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!

Event Manager has been a great addition to my studio
I highly recommend Event Manager for the many types of events that studio owners have such as Parent Night Outs, Belt Testings, and Camps.
Pros
We have many special events and programs at my school. I decided to try Event Manager to help with registrations. Now, it's the only way we allow our students to register for events. Everything is accessed through my school's website. No more excel spreadsheets and taking payments at the door. I've also noticed that attendance for my events is better because when people pay in advance they are making a real commitment.
Cons
Not Applicable

Great Product to Grow my Business
I recommend this to anyone who wants to have more freedom to grow their business, while having the professionalism of member solutions to back them up!
Pros
It is an easy way to take my hand off registration for events and programs at my school. People can sign up for classes right online 27/7, and my staff and I don't have to write everything out.
Cons
I didn't start using it sooner!

Event Manager is definately a program that will make you money.
I have been using event manager quite well for a long time. I have used it for many different style events and it has even been used for my entire tournament circuit. Which is over 3000 members. We love it and I continue to tell my clients about it.

Camp Registration was launched smoothly... very postive experience.
I like how easy the software is to use. As a designer and usability specialist, I would like more customization of the layout, colors and possibly how the fields are arranged. Overall, the functionality is good and it gets the job done.
Response from Jonas Software
Rhonda, Thank you for your review of Member Solutions Event Manager Software. I am happy to hear that your implementation process went smoothly. We pride ourselves on the quick setup and short learning curve to use Event Manager. We are continually improving the software and would love your feedback on customization of the fields and the design elements. Best Regards, Kristen Kercheval - Manager of Product Development

Most Seamless Registration Process We've Had in 29 Years!
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.

Makes registration and organization easy
We started using Members Solution four years ago. It has improved our attendance to our basketball clinics, made it easy for campers to register, and saved us time in organizing our events. We have received tremendous feedback from our customers and the costumer service has been outstanding. It is a great value which has improved our business across the board.
Response from Jonas Software
Warren, thank you for your recommendation. We're thrilled to hear that Event Manager has had a positive impact on your attendance, registration process, and business. We¿re grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your business.

Our experience has been great with our Event Manager, online sales make big difference .
We have had great success providing a means for our students to register and pay online for events and merchandise. It has been very helpful selling our trial membership to new students just starting on our introductory programs. I would highly recommend this to any martial arts school owner who want to improve there business.

Kerry's Is Invaluable What An Asset
Typically when running an organization the membership usually sits back and enjoys the benefits of the few working. The same holds true in our organization, however Kerry changed all of that with him intuitive thinking it is like having a fleet of personnel. The design of her forms save us time and more importantly manpower. Kerry goes beyond her role to make sure we are satisfied, she is a true partner in the successful management of our organization.
