New features to get you through the summer heat
We're in the midst of summer and you know what that means, right? New features to help you put on even more awesome events. We've been watching you plan everything from boat parties and BBQs to civil war reenactments. We have to say, we're both impressed and inspired. We don't have anything too groundbreaking to announce today, except for lots of smaller things you've been asking for (yes, we're listening) :)
Refunds You now have full control over refunding orders. Previously, you had to contact us directly for refunds, but now you have the power. On the "Orders" page you'll now see a new refund button. Orders are refunded in full and the ticket buyer will receive an email saying they have a refund on the way. In the near future you'll be able to refund individual tickets and attendees can request refunds themselves.
Collect data on all attendees, not just the ticket buyer Need to ask your attendees some additional questions like what's their t-shirt size or desired meal? Well now you can collect this data for each attendee on the order, not just the ticket buyer. You now have the option to either collect data on just the ticket buyer or for each attendee on the order. The "Order Form" page was redesigned to make this super simple.
We launched ActivityWalls.com Last week we launched a new standalone product called ActivityWalls.com. It lets you create an Activity Wall in about 30 seconds to stream tweets, Twitpics and Instagram pics from your event's hashtag. It's similar to the Eventjoy version, except creating one is even quicker and you don't need an Eventjoy account.
Major speed improvements and infrastructure upgrades We did some long overdue maintainance under the hood of Eventjoy and rolled up our sleeves up to make things even quicker. For starters, everything is now run on faster servers and we optimized tons of code to make things more stable and snappier.
P.S - A pretty special update to event tickets is coming later this week. :)
