Secure More Event Attendees

RegOnline, a leading provider of online event registration software to meeting planners and event organizers, has found a way to increase event registrations by more than 12% with heightened security and the presence of a new security certification seal on their registration pages.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) April 26, 2004 -- RegOnline, a leading provider of online event registration software to meeting planners and event organizers, has found a way to increase event registrations by more than 12% with heightened security and the presence of a new security certification seal on their registration pages.

With their website's encryption, RegOnline is helping its clients mitigate one of the largest setbacks to conducting business over the internet today... users concern with their personal information being safe.

According to Attorney John Foster, one of the top 25 Most Influential People in the Meeting Industry for 2002 as named by Meeting News, "Privacy of personal data will be a major issue. As more meeting sponsors promote online registration, concerns will continue to grow over credit-card security as well as how attendees' personal information is used."

After modifying the website, www.regonline.com, to be more secure, RegOnline tested the impact that communicating this new security would have on event registrants. Over a 7-day period, they served a hacker safe" seal on half of the registration pages and found that 12-18% more people completed their registrations as a direct result of the seal. Of the 20,000 registration pages served, 3,965 completed the registration with the seal present, resulting in 437 more registrations than those completed without the seal present.

"With the amount of personal information attendees have to enter into a registration page, the thought of sending all that vital information over the internet makes some people a little uneasy." said Bill Flagg, President of RegOnline. "Our security certification minimizes that worry and, as a result, will increase registrations for most events."

Online registration systems have proven to increase efficiencies for meeting and event planners. The more online registration systems can do to help registrants feel safer, the more savings online registration can bring.

"Our goal is to make registering continually easier for both registrants and planners," said Flagg "...we are excited that an added level of security, and communication of such, will help people feel more comfortable with the ease of registering online."

Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, RegOnline is a powerful online registration service that allows event and meeting planners to easily take registrations, process payments, and manage registrants online. Found in 1996, RegOnline was one of the first online registration providers, and now one of the largest providers worldwide.
