How To Manage Ticket Sales for a Nonprofit Event

Organizing nonprofit events is a great way to increase awareness and support for your organization. However, events are expensive to run. Selling tickets will help you offset the cost and raise more funds to support your nonprofit's mission. 

If you're planning a nonprofit event, chances are you're hoping to sell as many tickets–and get as many people through the door–as possible. But the question is, how do you do it?

 

Take Your Ticket Sales Online

Gone are the days of selling tickets manually or sending out RSVP cards. Today, most audiences are accustomed to–and prefer–buying tickets online. A digital ticketing platform will help you collect payments, keep track of ticket sales and manage registration as smoothly as possible. You'll even be able to contact attendees, sharing updates as the event gets closer.

If you decide to organize another fundraiser for your nonprofit, you can completely automate the process by reusing the same format. 

Because GivePulse is an all-in-one nonprofit CRM, it provides options to create and promote events, sell tickets and manage registrations. You can also accept donations and manage and schedule nonprofit event volunteers all in one place.

This keeps your operations running smoothly, creating a positive experience for your staff, supporters and attendees. Plus, you'll have more time to focus on organizing the best event possible.

Track Your Attendees

As guests purchase tickets, you need to make sure you're capturing the right information. Our built-in ticketing tools allow nonprofits to collect customizable attendee information, including contact preferences. This means you can quickly contact individuals and groups to thank them for registering, share details of the event and thank them afterward.

By tracking ticket sales in real-time, GivePulse also helps you stay on track with your goals. Your team can easily log in from anywhere to measure progress and check you're selling the right amount of tickets. If you're falling short of your goal, it might be time to up your promotional efforts. If you're selling more than expected, you'll need to ensure you're capping sales at the right point. Nobody wants an overcrowded event!

Find the Right Nonprofit Event Registration System

Investing in a platform to manage your ticket sales is vital for a stress-free, successful nonprofit event. One of the things that makes GivePulse's event management platform unique is the ability to manage guests and volunteers all in one place.

From fundraisers to races, festivals and conferences, most nonprofit events need volunteers to run smoothly. With GivePulse, you'll benefit from increased efficiency by managing all attendees in one place. You'll also have comprehensive tools to track sales, schedule volunteers and ensure you're meeting the goals of your event.
