[Tango-A] MISC: Introducing Register2Dance.com

[Jim Hudson]

For those of you that organize events, Register2Dance.com (http://www.register2dance.com 
) is a new online tool that can help you manage event registration.   
Please feel free to see if it's right for your events!


What is Register2Dance.com?
Register2Dance.com is an online tool that allows you to easily accept  
online payments for all of your dance events.  This tool also allows  
you to record offline payments, so that you can have centralized  
reports of all of your event details.  Designed explicitly for dance  
organizers, Register2Dance.com takes into account the unique nature of  
this business.


Features:
     * 	Online Registration
	Easily create webpages for online registration.  Your dancers pay you  
through Amazon.com.

     *	Manual Registration
	Even if your dancers do not pay with Register2Dance.com, you can  
still maintain all
	of your event records in one central place.

     * 	Automatic Confirmation Emails
	Automatically send confirmation messages when someone registers for  
your event.
	Or manually send confirmations, if you prefer.

     * 	Class Roster
	View or print up-to-date rosters for your events.

     * 	Email Lists
	Send email messages to event participants without creating separate  
email lists.

     *	Income and Expense Management
	In addition to registration income, enter other event income/expenses  
to generate
	a consolidated report of all event finances.  View yearly reports to  
make tax time easier.

     *	Other features?
	Register2Dance.com is always improving.  If there's a feature that  
you need for your
	business, let me know (jim at register2dance.com) and I'll see what I  
can do.


How much does it cost?
Whenever some registers online for your event, Register2Dance.com  
charges a 5% + $0.50 fee.  You can choose to pay this fee yourself or  
pass it on to your customers.  This fee pays for all credit card  
processing charges, so there are no hidden fees to receive your  
money.  All other features of Register2Dance.com are available for no  
charge.


What's the history of Register2Dance.com?
Several years ago, I created an online registration system for Tango  
Rio's events in Atlanta.  Over time, we added more and more features  
to make our lives easier.  Register2Dance.com extends this system, and  
makes it available to other dance organizers.  We recently beta tested  
the system for Gustavo & Giselle Anne's visit to Atlanta, and now it's  
ready for all of you to begin using it.  The system is still new,  
though, so I welcome feedback on how to improve it.

I hope that you'll find that Register2Dance.com becomes an invaluable  
tool for running your dance business.

Thanks,
Jim
