Making the most of surveys and forms (part two)
Part two in a four-part series (read part one here)
2. Manage your Events
+ Create an event registration form
+ Follow up with a post-event questionnaire
+ Send an evaluation form for an online class
If you host events of any kind – seminars, conferences, online classes or fundraisers – you’re probably coordinating lots of moving parts. Are the parts literally moving? One hopes not, unless you’re envisioning some kind of elaborate event showcasing pulleys and levers and such, in which case, good luck with that.
No matter how involved your events are, surveys & forms can simplify how you manage ‘em, with pre-event forms to register who’s coming and post-event surveys to collect feedback. Pair surveys with date-based trigger emails to simplify things even more, automatically inviting attendees to take your survey one week after the big pulley showcase.

Great advice! And on the registration form, it’s critical to get some information to help you tailor the event to the needs/interests/skills of the audience. On the post-event evaluation, make sure you give them a chance to provide all-important testimonials!
Great advice, yourself, Jeanne! Thanks for sharing it.
I would add do not wait too long after the event has taken place for post-event evaluation. You want to get good feedback while the audience still has it fresh in their minds. Thanks for all the good info.
That’s a great point, web-survey friend. Thanks for joining the conversation. Cheers!
Can you have a link to PayPal to register for an event?
Sure, Julie. You could create a link in your campaign to the PayPal page, or you could add a PayPal button as an image and link that image to PayPal. If you have any questions about this, feel free to give us a shout at support@myemma.com.
