- Interactivity tools;
- Email marketing;
- Custom broadcast area: perfect for sponsors;
- Your event’s own exclusive store;

1. Interactivity Without Spending Extra on Other Tools
Online events are definitely much cheaper than in-person events, and you probably already know that.
But your finances and organization can get out of control if you don’t find an events platform with everything you need.
For example, if you organize a large-scale event, you’ve probably already thought about interactivity at your digital event. After all, everyone knows how important networking is!
In these cases, online event organizers often end up turning to interactivity tools, which are, in fact, a good alternative.
But have you thought about saving a lot more by having all the interactivity you need in one place?
Besides being much easier to manage, it’ll save you time and money!
That’s why we turned such a big demand from our customers into real features in the platform’s Broadcast Area!
And even though it’s super accessible, free, and easy to use, many people still don’t know how to make the most of it, so here are a few tips:
Create One or Multiple Polls Per Broadcast
You’ve probably already seen the polls tab in your event’s Broadcast Area on Even3.
That’s where you can create as many polls as you want per broadcast and track the results in real time.
It’s a great way to make your presentations more engaging and communicate more directly and live with your audience.
You can also use polls to run exercises, reinforce content, and even discover attendees’ preferences.
Since online events tend to generate a lot of distraction and demand even more interaction, our tip is to broadcast your event through Even3 and make the most of its free interactivity features.
So even if your event is a YouTube live, you can still broadcast it through Even3 and communicate with attendees more effectively through the platform, without competing for attention with other videos and the flood of information on YouTube.
It’s a huge upgrade to the attendee experience!
Check Out the Attendees’ Top Questions
Even3’s Broadcast Area also includes a tab entirely dedicated to attendee questions.
This way, attendees can use the questions tab to ask about the content and also vote on questions already submitted by others.
This is a great solution for not losing track of questions during online broadcasts with lots of comments, letting you select the most-voted ones to answer if you’re short on time.
Run Giveaways With All Your Event’s Attendees
Finally, another important tip that’ll take your event’s interactivity up a notch is using the platform’s giveaway tool.
With it, you’ll add a real differentiator to your online broadcasts.
After all, everyone loves a giveaway, and it even gives people a bit of excitement to participate.
Just go to “Tools” in the Broadcast Area, then choose which group will be eligible for the giveaway: all registrants or only checked-in attendees.
This is also a great feature for anyone looking to boost check-in numbers at their event, and, as a result, the number of certificates issued. So, got all that down?
2. Unlimited Email Marketing
Now that you know all these advantages your event can offer, it’s time to share them with attendees.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to send each email individually!
Through Even3’s Organizer Area, you can automate email sending and, without much effort, create a personalized, unique experience for each attendee.
This way, you can use this feature as an email marketing strategy to notify the right people at the right time, build relationships, announce promotions, promote products or new releases available for sale, or share other materials from your company.
Oh, and remember that your emails should offer content that’s rich and relevant to attendees, okay? So segment your audiences — like attendees, authors, and non-registrants — study their needs, and create a valuable experience for your event!
3. Make the Most of Online Sponsorship
Email marketing has probably already given you some ideas for reinforcing your sponsors’ brand and voice at your event.
Now imagine combining that strategy with online sponsor booths featuring rich, detailed information about each sponsor.
That’s exactly why we created the custom Broadcast Area!
Now, in addition to the traditional tabs with broadcast information and the full event schedule, organizers can customize the area with custom sections.
This means you have total freedom to use it in whatever way works best for your event. One suggestion is to use it to benefit your sponsors.
This is a major differentiator when it comes to landing sponsors for your event. After all, what sponsor wouldn’t want a prime, highly visible spot within your event’s broadcast?
And on top of that, being able to customize it with the best information about the product or service they offer?
So, a good tip is to highlight this differentiator right from your sponsorship pitch.
4. Use the Store to Add and Sell as Many Items as You Want
You probably already know that your event on Even3 comes with an exclusive, free website, but have you thought about what you can offer there?
With that in mind, the store is one of the free features Even3 offers to enhance your event’s website.
After all, a ticket alone doesn’t always deliver everything an attendee is looking for.
Sometimes events promote books and other materials that can be bundled and sold together at registration.
So, our tip is to further expand the attendee experience with exclusive items, like apparel, cups, stationery, and more. Just get creative!
And the best part is that the process automation Even3 offers will give you a lot more free time to plan out the standout features of your event.
5. More Ease for Online Paper Presentations
Speaking of automation, the dedicated online paper presentation module is an incredible solution for events with submissions.
That’s because the Paper Presentations area is where attendees can access all of the event’s paper presentations, as well as check their own personal schedule.
In other words, only the sessions they’ll be presenting in.
This module makes life easier for both organizers and attendees, by automatically directing them to the video conference links used for each presentation.
Every paper presentation gets its own unique digital room, no matter how many submissions your event receives.
And the best part: all of this at no extra cost.
It’s truly a differentiator for events where paper presentations are a core part of the program!
Put It Into Practice: Create a Free Event!
Finally, it’s time to put everything we’ve covered into practice!
So, how about creating an event for free and trying out the Even3 platform?
After all, it’s much more advantageous to rely on an events platform to run your online event.
Besides the many free features we’ve covered here, Even3 also automates your processes, integrates every stage of your event, and offers the kind of support only our team can provide.
