Six Examples of Event Espresso in Action

Very few WordPress plugins can support as many event planning requirements as Event Espresso. Here’s a few great examples of how you can put Event Espresso to work for your event planning business:

BBQ Festival Ticketing

Who would’ve thought that WordPress mixed with Event Espresso would produce #BBQPress? That’s right, barbecue festival ticketing! If your planning the next barbecue festival where you live, it’s not too late to get online ticketing.

Also, works great for Backyard Barbecue Ticketing, tailgate party ticketing, and fundraising events.

Car Show Ticketing

The car show scene is huge where I live, and almost seems to be going year round.

One things that I’ve noticed is that car show organizers usually have a nice WordPress website, but you have to download a PDF registration form, and mail it in with a check, if you want to enter your car.

Here’s a golden event planning business idea. Corner the online Car Show Registration & Ticketing services in your neck of the woods.

Conference Registration

Event Espresso works great for the professional event planner. Your CEO will love the cash savings, but your “IT Department” might hate you for making them look bad.

Don’t let the IT Department break the budget while trying to re-invent the wheel for your next conference registration.

Film Festival Ticketing

Many big, and small cities are hosting their own independent film festivals throughout the year. All I can think about is the amount of ticketing fees being given away to big event corporations like Cvent and Eventbrite. Don’t you think those funds would be put to much better use in your community?

Don’t throw away money to large ticketing companies! Build your own film festival business and put your city on the map with Film Festival Ticketing from Event Espresso and WordPress.

Paint & Wine Party Ticketing

Eventbrite ticketing fees cutting into the new paint studio budget? Ditch the ticketing fees and use the extra money for your new mobile paint studio.

That’s how one Event Espresso customer grew her paint and wine party operation into a $500,000 year business.

Quilt Retreat Registration

After putting in long hours at the long arm, you’re ready for trunk show, but you haven’t had time to design the registration forms for the quilt retreat. It’s supposed to be the quilt guild treasure’s job, but she’s not tech savvy and now it’s up to you to get it done, by next week.

Forget the paper registration forms, just add Event Espresso to your WordPress website for instant Quilt Retreat Registration!
