I know there’s a lot options out there for online event registration systems but in my mind there’s only one company that I recommend to my clients and that’s GiftTool.com. Seriously – event planners should have VERY high standards for their ecommerce solutions, I know I do, and I see to many event professionals waste their time with providers that give them sub-par services. When it comes to price, service, reporting, support, security, and usability I am constantly amazed with GiftTool.

Sure, there’s some great options out there and I realize that sometimes it’s worth sticking with the suppliers that you know and trust, but for me – I’ve seen to much and been left wanting to often. Getting up and running with GiftTool was fast and unbelievably easy. I’ve moved ALL my clients onto GiftTool (I started with the Camp Moomba Yogathon in March 2007 – using their super-cool pledgeathon system) and I’ve never looked back. To-date I have processed over half a million dollars in transactions using GiftTool and I’m confident that each purchase, donation, and sponsorship was managed perfectly.

I’ve been actively involved with event registration systems since 2004, from both the architect and management  level – both proprietary applications and international enterprise-level systems (impressive in their own right), and as a result I have e a very discerning eye. I’m not an expert but I’m picky. Truth be told, I am very proud of the work GiftTool does and am so glad they take their job as seriously as I do. They make me look good – and in this very difficult business I feel like it’s like a free gift.

My gift to you is this: email Ashely Anderson, tell him Corwin Hiebert sent you, and ask for a quote – you’ll feel like it’s your birthday (and your clients will love you).
