How does Eventbee's patented social media marketing technology work to increase ticket sales?
Eventbee utilizes a patented attendee social media marketing technology (Patent number 8712859) that helps event organizers leverage their attendees' networks to promote events and drive additional ticket sales. Specific details on its mechanism are not provided, but it's designed to amplify event visibility through social channels.
What is the process for receiving ticket sale proceeds if I use Eventbee's own credit card processing instead of a third-party provider?
If you use Eventbee's credit card processing, 90% of your proceeds for closed events from the prior month are mailed out via check during the first week of the current month. The remaining 10% is mailed out 60 days later. A minimum balance of $100 is required in your account to process the first check.
Can I pass on the 1% booking fee and credit card processing fees directly to my attendees?
Yes, you have complete control over fee collection. You can choose to collect both the Eventbee service fee and the credit card processing fee from your attendees, split the fees with them, or pay all fees yourself. The fees collected from attendees are directed to you, and Eventbee invoices you weekly for its service fees.
What is the 'Seating Digitization' fee, and when is it applied?
The Seating Digitization fee is a one-time charge applied for digitizing your venue's seating arrangements. This fee is not incurred again if you use the same seating layout for future events, making it a one-time investment for recurring events with consistent seating plans.
Does Eventbee offer any specific tools or features for managing international events, such as multi-currency support or language localization?
Yes, Eventbee is a global platform that supports over 100 countries and 40 currencies. It allows you to customize your event to local languages and currencies, facilitating the management and promotion of international events to a diverse audience.
