Feature in Focus: Booths and Exhibitors
| Do you organize Trade Shows, Exhibitions, Fairs, Conferences, Festivals or any other kind of event that involves Booths and Exhibitors? Then you need EventPro’s new Booths Module, an easy-to-use module designed to help you manage every detail related to exhibitors and booths. You can set up general booths for each event, defining the Booth Type, Dimensions and Detail Items for each, or use the “New – Multiple” function to create several booths simultaneously. When you assign a booth to a company, you can adjust the booth supplies, characteristics and rental dates according to the requirements of the specific exhibitor. It is easy to set the rental fees exactly the way you want them, whether you use your pre-defined Rate Codes, create an entirely new charge for an exhibitor or provide a special discount. |
Many other features in the Booths Module will make your job easier. Registration Packages help you keep track of which exhibitors will be attending the event. The Mail Merge allows you to send out personalized letters or emails to numerous recipients in one easy-to-follow wizard. Communications and Actions ensure that you stay in touch with the exhibitors and complete all the required tasks within the deadlines. The newly updated Finance section allows for adjustable third-party billing, batch invoicing, invoice mail merge and other flexible, convenient invoicing options. To ensure that you can easily find the records you need, the Booths Module stores all of this related information in one convenient folder within the event. |
If you organize tradeshows or similar events, what could be better for your business than a tool specifically designed to manage Booths and Exhibitors with ease? To see how the Booths Module can keep your events running smoothly, contact our Sales Department for a Free Demonstration. Call 02 9772 7777 (press 1 for Sales) or email Sales.au@EventPro.net today. |

Helpful Hint: How to Change Tax Rates
Q. When the tax rates increase or decrease, how do I adjust my Tax Rates? |
|
A: You may be tempted to go into Taxes Setup and simply edit the existing rates, but don’t do this! It will change the taxes applied to existing events that occur before the tax change comes into effect. You must create a new Effective Tax Date. In EventPro’s main menu, select Setup | Taxes. Click the New button to open the Setup Taxes [New] window and your previous taxes will default into the fields. Make any required changes to the rates and choose the Effective Date, which is the date on which the new tax rate comes into effect. Click Save. |
|
EventPro will automatically apply the new tax rates to events you book after the Effective Date. However, if you already booked events that will occur after the Effective Date, you will need to recalculate them. Select Utilities | Recalculate Events from the main menu. In the Recalculate Events window, click the Set Filter button to open the Filter Criteria window. Under Dates, set the Start Date From to the same date as the Effective Date for the new tax and click OK. Back in the Recalculate Events window, click Recalculate and choose All (Filtered Events). |
