SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acteva, the most experienced players in the event management industry, today announced that its platform is Free for Free Events worldwide.
Since its launch in 1998, Acteva has consistently retained its leadership role as the most feature rich solution for the Event and Training arena. With the only Company offering a highly scalable model with its Express, Plus and Pro versions, organizations of all sizes have used Acteva to organize events, conferences, tradeshows, meetings, classes and training programs worldwide. The only thing missing all these years was a platform for event organizers that needed an affordable solution for their free events. Acteva listened and redesigned Acteva Express to facilitate just that.
The Free for Free will be available on the Acteva Express platform, the company's most popular event registration and payment management solution, ideally suited for small events with no registration fees. This will definitely benefit budget constrained events organized by Non-Profits, Associations, Community and Faith-based organizations and small businesses.
"Organizations that have hesitated from trying our online registration and management solution because their events were free and didn't think they could afford it can stop worrying about the cost." remarks Pankaj Gupta, CEO, Acteva. "When an organization hosts a free event, they can take advantage of all the marketing and promotion tools within Acteva for free to help their cause or business."
With Acteva's uniquely scalable platform, organizers can start with Acteva Express and add additional capabilities or upgrade to more advanced products – Acteva Plus or Acteva Pro - as their needs and processes mature.
"Free For Free Events" Acteva Express includes numerous productivity and money saving tools such as: email marketing, reporting, standard print templates for Print-at-Home Tickets, Name Badges and Certificates. Acteva provides support to its clients and attendees from 6am to 6pm in each of its operating regions (US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia and India) as well as online training and on-demand video tutorials.
Clients can add premier features at any time. These include advanced features like the ActevaRSVP 3 connector for Salesforce.com users, Smartphone-based Scanning for check in, Events Calendar, Print Manager for creating Ticket and Name Badge templates and additional email messages. These productivity tools are available for an additional fee.
For events that do have a Registration Fee, customers can easily add their own Merchant Account or use Acteva's payment management service to process credit card transactions using Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover and PayPal.
