In addition to basic entry tickets, many events often offer ticket add-ons such as exclusive workshops, off-site excursions, networking sessions, VIP lounges, meals, merchandise, and even additional event materials. These add-ons not only enhance the conference experience for attendees but also generate up to 80% of additional revenue.
Whova’s powerful event registration software has long supported ticket add-ons and recently introduced the capability for attendees to make additional purchases after their initial order. Each year, thousands of conferences and tradeshows use Whova to sell a variety of ticket add-ons, contributing millions of dollars in event revenue.
Given the prevalence of event add-ons, we are thrilled to announce that Whova Registration now supports Dedicated Question Forms for Ticket Add-ons. These dedicated forms allow organizers to gather information specific to the add-ons. In other words, only attendees who purchase them need to answer those questions. This new feature greatly personalizes the registration process for attendees and simplifies data processing for organizers.
Example add-on question forms include:
- Meals: Collecting dietary restrictions or preferences.
- Merchandise: Gathering size, color, and design preferences.
- Extra Guests: Obtaining the names and contact information of guests.
- Offsite Excursions/Activities: Collecting emergency contacts and waiver agreements.
- Classes and Workshops: Gathering attendee choices for additional classes.
In addition, question form answers can be easily exported separately and used to coordinate add-on related logistics. Whether you’re offering exclusive VIP experiences, optional workshops, or meal tickets, you can now collect all the necessary information in one seamless step.
Streamline Information Collection with Add-On Question Forms
Add-ons, such as meal options or merchandise orders, frequently require additional information from attendees to ensure their preferences are met. In the past, organizers had to include these questions within the ticket purchase process or contact attendees individually, a method that proved cumbersome for both parties.
Now, with Whova’s question forms, this process is streamlined, making it easier and more efficient. While setting up their add-on, event organizers can completely customize question forms based on their needs, making getting the information they need simple.
Organizers can easily ask questions during registration.
Use Cases for Question Forms
- Meal Tickets: Gather dietary restrictions directly from attendees to cater to their specific needs.
- Field Trips/Tours: Collect signed waivers and emergency contact information in one step.
- Donations: Enable attendees to specify donation amounts and provide other relevant information.
- Merchandise Orders: Capture attendee preferences on items such as color, size, and type.
- Transportation/Parking: Allow attendees to specify their parking spot, shuttle service preferences, or car model and license plates.
- Classes and Workshops: Offer VIP attendees the ability to choose from exclusive events.
- Offsite Excursions/Activities: Collect time preferences, emergency contacts, and waiver agreements.
- Tickets for Extra Guests: Obtain names and contact information for additional attendees.
Easily Export Question Form Answers for Convenient Access
One of the standout features of Whova’s new question forms is the ability to easily export add-on question form answers. Event organizers can download a comprehensive spreadsheet containing all the add-on question information, making it convenient to review attendee preferences and requirements at any time. This feature not only saves time but also ensures that all collected data is organized and accessible, facilitating smoother event management.
