Build a Clear Registration Form
• The best registration forms are clear and quick.• Capture the least amount of essential
information so your users don’t feel burdened by the registration process.
• Break your form into two pages so it appears shorter.

Build a Clear Registration Form
• Take advantage of your form builder’s features! • Conditional logic “hides” fields that may not
apply to each user. • Form is more relevant and faster to fill out.
@formstack
Be Wise With Social• Your marketing team needs to keep a consistent
focus on social media. • Include a unique hashtag in your materials and
begin communicating with it along all platforms. • Engage with guests on social media, answer
questions, and keep the event in your online conversations.

Create a Confirmation Process
• When you recruit and confirm, you can double or triple the number of attendees.
• Even though phone calls are time-consuming, they can result in up to a 75% increase in attendance.
• Automatic text messages are another confirmation option. (Just be sure to collect mobile phone numbers during registration!)
@formstack
Create a Confirmation Process
• Email reminders can be helpful but are more easily ignored.
• Be sure to include relevant information in the email subject line to encourage opens and click-through.
@formstack
Follow Up Post-Registration
• A customized confirmation email can provide essential information:
• Parking • Maps • Dress code
• Include a link to your event’s landing page.• Link to social media accounts.
