Splash’s May 2020 release includes key new capabilities to empower people across your organization to take advantage of marketing’s highest ROI channel: events — including virtual ones.
First up: Say hello to Team Manager ↓, your one-stop-shop for centralizing user, role, and group management in Splash. Self-service platform access has never looked so good, and it’s coming your way.
Speaking of self-service, it's never been easier to host online events that get results. Virtual Branded Themes ↓ will have you up and running in minutes with event marketing assets specifically designed for webinars and live streams, with setup tips and tricks baked in.
If you've ever wanted to schedule guest list updates ↓, now you can. It's easy to keep your management team current with the guest list via email (so you can focus on the interesting parts of your job). If visibility is important to your organization, this one’s for you.
Last but not least, our checkout page would like to say thank you, merci, danke, and děkuju. Now, when global users purchase their tickets, their checkout experience will be localized in their language ↓. Czech it out.
Plus, integrations with ON24 and Zoom, and a new touchpoint — Virtual Event Page — are coming soon.
Let’s go!
Team Manager enables self-service at your organization. By adding and removing users, designating roles, and organizing groups all in one place, admins can manage users flexibly and efficiently, at scale.
Take it from Product Manager Jon Saft: “We love scaled event programs, so we are here to ensure that anyone interacting with your event program has all the essential tools to be great, and perhaps more importantly, no unnecessary tools that could cause problems.”
Don’t wait to get teams up and running in Splash. Give your team appropriate access to take advantage of everyone’s expertise.
How do I get Team Manager? Team Manager is available now for new users with a Splash for Business license. Existing users will receive an email when Team Manager becomes available in their accounts. Learn more about when your team will get access.
Gimme gimme more (resources). Watch our on-demand webinar to learn how to streamline event programs, facilitate approvals, and uphold enterprise standards with Team Manager. And don’t forget to check out the help topic for a full feature walkthrough.
In less than one week, our Virtual Branded Themes became Splash’s most popular event marketing templates — and the reason why is obvious. Today, event marketing programs for virtual events require best practices and your brand built in.
These themes are simple, designed to convert, and set up to showcase your brand. Included are a dynamic event page, registration form, email templates, and a share card (everything you need to promote and host your virtual event).
"We built Virtual Branded Themes for the virtual attendee — and also to make an event manager’s life easier. This meant including default, yet optional, blocks to toggle on and off, like resource lists, speaker layouts, and video embeds for pre-recorded and live stream options. As an added bonus, each video block is pre-populated with pro tips that directs the host on how to use the block optimally." - Pete Richardson, Senior Education Manager
With Splash, you’ll be hosting beautiful, on-brand online events in no time — because there’s no sense in reinventing the wheel when you’re moving from in-person to virtual events (and back again).
How do I access these themes? Splash for Business users can check out our Virtual Branded Themes, Connect and Stream, anytime by clicking New Event from the Event Dashboard and selecting the Webinar / Virtual Event type.
Can I get step-by-step instructions for how to set up my Virtual Branded Theme? We thought you’d never ask. Check out our help topic to get up and running in minutes with everything you need for a virtual event — from registration pages to customized emails and a post-event experience.
We’re excited to share two major ways Splash helps people get the info they need about events, in the way they need it.
First things first: You can now schedule automated guest list updates. Save time by selecting Guests > Export, and toggling on Scheduled Export.
Updates can be sent daily or weekly to anyone with an email address.
Next up: When you’re selling tickets for an event, the last thing you want is for the checkout experience to be confusing. What's a great pre-req to ensuring your guests know what they’re purchasing? Speaking their language. Today, the checkout page in Splash will render in any of seven languages a user’s browser is set to.
It’s not every event marketing platform that considers every step of an event from both the host’s and guest’s point of view. But we’re not every event marketing platform. We’re committed to helping you and your team scale.
How do I get my hands on Scheduled Guest List Updates and Localized Checkout Page? They're already available in your account. Just log into Splash to get started.
Wait, I want a little help from my friends. Great news! Where there’s a need, there’s a help topic. Here’s one for guest list exports and another for our ticketed events. Let us know what you think.
Our product and engineering teams are constantly releasing new features and functionality to make Splash work hard for you. And we’ve got some major new features on the horizon to keep your team moving the needle with virtual event programs.
An all-new touchpoint — our Virtual Event Page — gives you, the host, the power to embed a virtual event stream, perfect the day-of experience using a dynamic event page, and gate and automate your check-in process to capture guest data. Catch the on-demand webinar to learn more from product experts Perry Piep and Mike Siegel.
Did we mention that we’re expanding our native webinar integration library? BlueJeans, check. ON24 and Zoom are batters up. Learn all about what’s coming your way next month with Product Manager Tim Alexander as he walks through automating your webinar strategy by leveraging the tech already in your stack.
