Member Organizations: Publishing & Promoting Your Events – Answers

How do I invite guests to a published event?

First, create an invite message that will be sent to all invitees of your event. This invite will be sent to your guests as they are invited. All invite messages automatically include a link to your event on MiVoz.com. Alternatively, you can use a standard invite from MiVoz.com if that is preferred.

Second, create your invite email list by doing any or all of the following:

Note: Please only invite your friends, customers/clients or other constituents that have explicitly opted-in to receive emails from you.

What event graphics can I upload for my organization’s event?

Your organization’s logo along with any sponsorship logos (as a single graphic) can be uploaded to your event’s information page. You may also upload an event flyer. Each image must be a GIF, JPEG, PNG, or BMP file less than 2MB in size.

Can I provide a link from MiVoz.com to my organization’s own website event page?

Yes, there is a field where you may share the direct link to your organization’s event page. The goal of MiVoz.com is to make it easy for individual users to seek out your event information and share your site’s event information.

Do I have to use MiVoz.com RSVP & ticketing services?

No. If your organization’s website already provides its own RSVP & ticketing services then you can just include the link to your tools on your public event page.

What are the benefits to using MiVoz.com’s RSVP & ticketing system?

MiVoz.com’s basic RSVP & ticketing services are free and easy to use to help you manage your event’s attendance and ticket payments. You can choose to use RSVP-only or the RSVP combined with electronic ticketing. If you use the ticketing service, you can set how many electronic tickets to disperse and when the ticket sales should start and end. By using both RSVP & ticketing services you can also keep track in real-time your confirmed event attendees, including those with completed payments, those that are pending, and those that have received an invite for the event but not yet responded.

Can I customize the tickets I create for my organization’s events?

Yes. MiVoz.com allows you to customize your tickets based on your event needs. You can choose to require basic or detailed information for either the ticket buyer or for each attendee. In addition, you can create tickets according to whether you have an individual attendee or a corporate sponsor that would like to purchase a table of 10 attendees, for example.

Can I collect custom event information such as whether someone prefers a certain type of meal, or which workshops within a conference a particular attendee will participate in?

Yes. MiVoz.com enables you to design custom questions for each ticket type through a customized survey that you create based on your event needs.

Does my organization need a PayPal account to use the RSVP & ticketing services?

Yes. MiVoz.com relies on PayPal for the ticketing transaction portion of its RSVP & ticketing system. Registration is simple and free with PayPal, which is an online payment service provider. PayPal allows anyone to accept major credit card payments without purchasers having to login to the PayPal site. Please refer back to PayPal.com for their transaction fees.

What is meant by “pushing” my published events to other sites?

MiVoz.com allows event hosts to “push”, or promote, their events beyond the MiVoz.com website. From their MiVoz.com homepage, registered organizations can post their event to their Facebook page and comment on it, or they can even tweet about their event on Twitter. In addition, MiVoz.com allows an organization to automatically “push” events to Eventbrite and Eventful – both of which are nationwide event listing websites that target the general population.

What is a “widget”?

According to Wikipedia: “A widget is a stand-alone application that can be embedded into third party sites by any user on a page where they have rights of authorship (e.g. a webpage, blog, or profile on a social media site). Widgets are fun, engaging, and useful applications that allow users to turn personal content into dynamic web apps that can be shared on just about any website.”
