Saving time is a top priority, especially when you’re busy managing events and groups. SignUpGenius can help you save time by streamlining the sign up process so you can focus on more important things.
In this guide, we'll highlight six key SignUpGenius features that will save you and your participants time while managing your event.
The Add Time Slots feature eliminates manual time slot building and allows participants to sign up in just a few clicks. This feature is especially valuable for large-scale events, conferences, and volunteer-driven initiatives where optimizing appointment times is crucial.
Organizers can set up automated reminders to be sent to participants from 24 hours to multiple days before their scheduled event. Reminders are automatically sent to participants’ email address, but they can opt in to receive reminders via text. Whether it's a reminder for a volunteer shift, a meeting, or any other event, SignUpGenius puts participants’ sign up details right in their inbox or text messages so you can rest assured knowing they’ll be in attendance.
By automating reminders, organizers can significantly reduce the likelihood of no-shows and last-minute cancellations. This feature not only proactively saves time spent on manual reminders but also contributes to overall event reliability and participant accountability.
Each SignUpGenius subscription level offers a different number of custom questions that can be added to sign ups. You can choose to make questions optional or required. If questions are required, participants won’t be able to complete their sign up without entering a response. You can use this feature to get dietary preferences for a meal, specific skills for a volunteer task, t-shirt sizes, consent form signatures, or any other information you need. SignUpGenius makes it easy to get essential information by quickly creating a report of your sign up.
Rather than needing separate communication to gather additional details or waiting until the event to get the info you need, custom questions make the sign up process more efficient. Organizers can easily access all necessary information in one centralized location, eliminating the need for back-and-forth emails or phone calls to collect important details.
Starting with the Gold subscription, sign up creators can choose to create a QR code after publishing their sign up. This code can be added to any document or web page. Participants can use their mobile device’s camera to scan the code which will take them directly to the sign up.
QR codes make it faster and easier for you to share your sign up link and for participants to find your sign up. Your attendees will get a better overall user experience, making it easier for them to navigate and commit to events or tasks without the need to copy a long sign up link or extra guidance from you or your team.
All sign up creators can access detailed, customized reports on sign up progress, participant details, and other relevant metrics from the Reports tab of their account. SignUpGenius will quickly build a custom report of one or more sign ups which you can easily download as a spreadsheet file. This allows for data-driven decision-making and the ability to identify trends or areas for improvement.
Rather than manually compiling data or relying on anecdotal feedback, the Custom Reports feature allows you to quickly review your sign up data. This streamlines the evaluation process and empowers organizers to make informed decisions for future events.
With any SignUpGenius subscription, sign up creators can build calendar feeds for one or more sign ups. They can then sync the feed with their personal calendar, including calendar platforms like Outlook, Apple, and Google. This ensures that sign up commitments are seamlessly integrated into your existing schedules — and provide all the info you need about your schedule and the sign up in one place.
By eliminating the need to manually transfer sign up information to your personal calendar, SignUpGenius gives you a better way to stay organized and keep track of your commitments.
SignUpGenius is a versatile and powerful tool designed to save time and streamline the often complex process of event planning and volunteer coordination. By leveraging these key features, you can not only reduce the administrative burden associated with organizing events and groups but also enhance the overall sign up experience for participants. SignUpGenius empowers you to focus on what matters most — your event’s success and your participants’ engagement!
