Qgiv\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/peer-to-peer-fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">peer-to-peer platform<\/a> makes it easy for event coordinators to create beautiful, streamlined peer-to-peer event registration pages for all their fundraising events. While Qgiv\u2019s peer-to-peer registration page settings do the job well as-is, there\u2019s a ton of customization options to make your event match your branding and catch your supporters\u2019 attention. This customizability means most of the form, from text to images, can change to meet each event\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tips from Afton Lorenz and Bailey Ferguson, Qgiv\u2019s Customer Success Managers, present some best practices for designing your Qgiv peer-to-peer registration pages. Their tips will help your organization attract more registrants, see more completed individual fundraising pages, and raise more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#KISS\">K.I.S.S. \u2013 Keep it short and simple<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#ask\">Ask the right people the right questions<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#your\">Your registration process can do more than accept registrations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#promote\">Promote your event and send your link to supporters<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#redirect\">Redirect your old event form<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#best\">The best way to register guests the day of<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#integrate\">Integrate an online store option into the registration process<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#modify\">Modify the look and language to match your audience\/event<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#creating\">Integrate creating a fundraising profile page into the registration process<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#ask-for\">Ask for registration page advice<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"KISS\">K.I.S.S. \u2013 Keep it short and simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your registration process shouldn\u2019t be a chore for attendees to complete. A long process with a lot of custom questions can hinder guests from completing their registration. Many may even give up and decide it\u2019s not worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t overdo it with custom fields and a lot of choices,\u201d Afton said. \u201cIf your registration page looks intimidating, many people won\u2019t even attempt to complete it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, use these tips from the CSMs to keep your forms short and simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Keep custom field questions to a minimum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help avoid confusion by limiting the number of unique classifications and categories to a manageable amount (you don\u2019t want to overwhelm your supporters with options)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn off the option to have non-fundraising participants if you can (there are exceptions to this rule. For example, children participating in your event)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By eliminating the choice to be a non-fundraiser, you\u2019re working to streamline the registration process for your donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware, though, that eliminating the non-fundraising option doesn\u2019t force participants to fundraise! But have no fear. We have lots of ideas for keeping them engaged along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ask\">Ask the right people the right questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re taking advantage of custom field questions during the event registration process, bear in mind that the questions may not need to be asked of every participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhenever you\u2019re asking those custom questions, you have the opportunity within our platform to only ask questions for specific categories of people or for specific interactions participants are having such as questions just for donors or registrants,\u201d Afton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you\u2019ve set up a category for your existing volunteers to choose time slots, you don\u2019t want them to see a custom question that asks if they\u2019re interested in volunteering for your organization. You can choose settings that will only display that question to relevant parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your\">Your registration process can do more than accept registrations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, don\u2019t disable optional donations on your registration form. There\u2019s really no good reason to disable the ability for your supporters to give you more money when signing up for your fundraising event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlways allow optional donations. I always tell people, \u2018People want to give you money. Let them,\u2019\u201d Afton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your supporters want to support you and be invested in your mission. Another way to make your registration page work for you is to use it to collect mobile numbers for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/text-fundraising-ultimate-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text fundraising<\/a> and event communication. When you\u2019re hosting a physical event, ask for phone numbers to build your contact lists. Customize the language when asking for the phone number to give registrants a chance to opt in to receiving communications from you. That way, if your nonprofit uses tools, you\u2019ve already started the process of collecting mobile numbers for text fundraising campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve found people are more likely to want to give their phone number if you\u2019re doing a physical event because they know that\u2019s something everybody\u2019s going to ask for,\u201d Afton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had people set up custom fields so their registrants and donors can agree to communication from the organization,\u201d Bailey said. \u201cThen they use outbound text messaging for live events so they can keep them updated during the event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: <\/strong>Change the wording from \u201cphone number\u201d to \u201cmobile number\u201d so you\u2019re specifically asking for a cell phone number. Don\u2019t forget to include a custom field asking donors if they want to opt in to communications from you. This is as simple as adding a checkbox with language like, \u201cI\u2019d like you to contact me via text.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-d3068c9d-53ca-471a-b44f-485173c6c027\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-d3068c9d-53ca-471a-b44f-485173c6c027\" id=\"hs-cta-d3068c9d-53ca-471a-b44f-485173c6c027\"><!--[if lte IE 8]>\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/8356283\/d3068c9d-53ca-471a-b44f-485173c6c027\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-d3068c9d-53ca-471a-b44f-485173c6c027\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/8356283\/d3068c9d-53ca-471a-b44f-485173c6c027.png\"  alt=\"New call-to-action\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(8356283, 'd3068c9d-53ca-471a-b44f-485173c6c027', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"promote\">Promote your event and send your link to supporters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you drive supporters to your peer-to-peer event page to register? You have to reach out and share the link. Don\u2019t rely on visitors seeing the link on your website. Instead, be sure to send it to supporters across multiple marketing channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSend a link via text message. You can use Qgiv\u2019s outbound text messaging for that, but you need a phone number database first,\u201d Bailey said. That\u2019s why asking supporters to opt in to text communication during registration is so important. You can easily text attendees of all your past events so long as they opted in to receive text messages from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An underutilized tool in your arsenal is Qgiv\u2019s peer-to-peer email campaign feature. This tool makes sending an email to last year\u2019s event attendees quick and easy. The best part, you know they\u2019re already interested in your event because they\u2019ve attended before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor events organizations have year after year, log in to the previous year\u2019s event and email all the past registrants letting them know about the upcoming event, including the new URL, through a Qgiv email campaign,\u201d Afton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen keep using email campaigns to keep them engaged throughout the span of the event so they can reach out to more of their network to keep donors and registrants involved,\u201d Bailey added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"redirect\">Redirect your old event form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This next step is important. You don\u2019t want to confuse registrants by allowing them access to your previous years\u2019 event pages. Instead, automatically redirect visitors to old event pages to your new event by creating a redirect within Qgiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf people know it\u2019s the time of year you host that event and they go to the site they\u2019ve gone to in the past, they will automatically be taken to the right form,\u201d Afton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best\">The best way to register guests the day of<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDay-of guest registration is best handled via Mobile Virtual Terminal,\u201d Bailey said. \u201cYou can use Wi-Fi or a hotspot to register guests quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can use Mobile Virtual Terminal and card readers for on-site donations, too\u201d Afton added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"integrate\">Integrate an online store option into the registration process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to make more money by selling event merchandise or things taking up space in a supply closet? Set up an online store and make purchasing items an option in your registration flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s super easy to set up and if you have a whole closet of old t-shirts or something, you can sell them easily this way,\u201d Bailey said. \u201cInclude the store products in registration. Even if donors don\u2019t make an optional donation, they may consider buying a t-shirt or hat. It\u2019s sort of like an incentivized optional donation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the biggest things I suggest to people,\u201d Afton added. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to do easy raffles. If you have one item you want to give away at your event as a prize, you can sell raffle tickets through the store.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your registration store can do more than help you sell products. Create sponsorships and \u201csell\u201d them at registration. A business owner looking to show their support can quickly sponsor your event while on your registration page. In the item details, spell out the sponsorship benefits for each package level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"modify\">Modify the look and language to match your audience\/event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great registration page doesn\u2019t just make it easy for registrants to sign up. The registration page\u2019s aesthetic should hold the attention of your intended audience and further inspire them to take part in, and even share, your fundraising event. This is where Qgiv\u2019s customizability helps nonprofits. With Qgiv\u2019s Event Builder it\u2019s easy to customize your event \u2013 even with no technical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChange the form verbiage to match the style or the audience of your event,\u201d Afton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t know that you can customize a lot of the registration process,\u201d Bailey added. \u201cUsing widgets, unique images, and changing the verbiage allows you to customize it quite a bit. Just be careful not to do too much and confuse people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"creating\">Integrate creating a fundraising profile page into the registration process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can lead a registrant to their personal fundraising page, but you can\u2019t make them fill it out. This post-registration action often doesn\u2019t get completed by every fundraising participant at a peer-to-peer event if it\u2019s treated like an optional step. Instead, use the following tip from Afton to see a greater number of fundraising page completions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn the registration detail page, I always delete the top section of the form. This keeps attendees from thinking they\u2019re done and can navigate away from the page.\u201d &nbsp;Then, depending on whether the event allows for non-fundraising participants or not, I move sections of the page and reword them to keep fundraising participants moving from the registration process to the profile creation process,\u201d Afton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The images below show how to modify the Registration Details page to get fundraising participants to complete their profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The first is an unmodified Registration Details Page<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-drop-shadow wp-rounded-corners\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Unmodified-Registration-Details-Page-1024x748.png\" alt=\"Unmodified Qgiv Registration Details Page.\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This version is for events with non-fundraising participants disabled<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-drop-shadow wp-rounded-corners\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Registration-Details-Page-Modified-For-Fundraising-Participants-Only-1024x755.png\" alt=\"Qgiv Registration Details Page Modified For Fundraising Participants Only\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This image is how the CSMs suggest customizing this page for events that don\u2019t have non-fundraising participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This format takes advantage of a customizable header. Afton\u2019s changed the verbiage of the existing page header to provide clear instruction to fundraisers that they must click an option below to begin their fundraising profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The header is displayed to all registrants because non-fundraising participants were disabled in this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This final version is for events with non-fundraising participants<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-drop-shadow wp-rounded-corners\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Registration-Details-Page-Modified-For-Events-With-Non-Fundraising-Particpants-1024x736.png\" alt=\"Qgiv Registration Details Page Modified For Events With Non Fundraising Participants\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final image shows how to modify the page in a way that makes sense for non-fundraising participants while still prompting fundraisers to give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This format works because the top section of the image isn\u2019t displayed to non-fundraisers. They\u2019ll see everything below the prompt to complete their fundraising profile when the page loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fundraisers, on the other hand, will see instructions for completing their profiles at the very top of this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are subtle language changes between the second and third image depending on the types of attendees who will see this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method makes creating a personal fundraising page a part of the registration process. Organizations have found their fundraisers were more likely to complete their pages by making it appear like a continuation of registration. The best part is, even though the registration detail and thank-you steps aren\u2019t visible along the top of the page, donors aren\u2019t missing out on a thank-you message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey still have all their confirmation information and they\u2019re still going to get an email, but you\u2019re hoping they\u2019ll continue that process instead of leave and&nbsp;<strong>maybe<\/strong>&nbsp;come back later,\u201d Afton added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ask-for\">Ask for registration page advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each nonprofit using Qgiv for their peer-to-peer fundraising tools will have unique uses for these forms. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn\u2019t work to set your event apart from others. So, both Afton and Bailey encourage organizations using Qgiv to contact them to discuss their specific needs with them. This way, they can offer advice to make your registration forms work best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you have questions about your specific use case, our team loves walking you through things, asking questions, and making sure you\u2019re covering all those pieces,\u201d Afton said. \u201cWe\u2019ll make sure you know exactly what you have to have and not add anything that will bog you or your fundraisers down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your peer-to-peer event registration process can make or break your fundraising event. Attendees won\u2019t complete an unfriendly form. Using the tips outlined in each section above will help you attract the right guests to your event registration page and see them through to completion of their fundraising profiles. Above all else, remember to focus on keeping the form short and simple. Then focus on branding your registration pages and adding those special touches (like an online store accessible at registration) to add opportunities to delight your donors and raise more funds for your mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to host successful fundraisers and meet your fundraising goals.
