Good Seed Community Development Corporation – A Case Study

Dryfta is a comprehensive platform that’s easy to use

Los Angeles County government divides the county into 8 Service Planning Areas (SPAs), most of which encompass more than one city. SPA6 is the service area for South Los Angeles. The SPA 6 Homeless Coalition originated in December 2012 and January 2013 meetings of homeless service providers and stakeholders from South LA and the cities of Compton and Lynwood. Its original goal was to improve the accuracy for SPA 6 for the January 2013 Semi-Annual Point In Time Homeless Count administered by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).

The more you know your visitors, the more you understand your prospective attendees, and make decisions accordingly like which prospects need more targeting and re-targeting, for which countries should you increase your ad spending for your event, and other similarly important decisions. These decisions are what is going to make your event a success.

 

We do not hold your funds

Dryfta is a platform to sell tickets and accept payments directly without any hold whatsoever on your funds.

When using Dryfta to sell your event tickets, your funds go directly to your payment gateway or the merchant account you’re using. All you have to do is sign up for a payment gateway like PayPal or Stripe. Then, add the payment gateway credentials into your Dryfta platform, create the ticket types and registration questions, and you’re good to go!

Whenever a ticket is sold on your event website, the funds go directly to your Stripe or PayPal account or any of the Dryfta-supported payment gateway you’re using. You can then withdraw funds from your merchant account to your bank account anytime you want. The withdrawal process typically takes 2-3 days to transfer your funds to your bank account.

We do not charge a “percentage” on payment transactions except 2 credits per transaction. The cost of 1 credit is 2 USD or less based on the credit pack you choose. That’s it—no other hidden charges.

A common approach to set up an academic or a nonprofit conference is to use an array of tools, e.g., WordPress, Eventbrite, Easychair, and Mailchimp. Then put your staff into multi-tasking mode and try to get your event off the ground.

What would it be like if you could access all of these features from a single platform, all fully integrated, making for a seamless, unified data flow? Dryfta event platform solves this issue of unstructured data flow caused primarily due to using one too many tools by offering a set of fully-integrated tools. Let’s see how Dryfta stacks up with each of these tools regarding features and functionality.

Cart Abandonment Notifications for Incomplete Ticket Purchase

Abandoned cart orders occur pretty frequently on a busy event website. Often, potential customers begin filling out their checkout form, only to leave and never return. Knowing about these users, why did they abandoned the cart and then targeting these abandoned cart orders can boost ticket sales.

Cart abandonment notification tool

This feature lets you send an automated email to ticket and membership buyers who have begun creating an order on your event ticketing website built using Dryfta event platform, but haven’t completed it for whatever reason.

The email will act as an enticement inviting the buyer to come back to the event website to complete their order.

As long as the customer’s email address was entered into the website (either by them logging in or registering on your event website while browsing), the Abandoned Carts Notification feature will be able to send them a message, and also notify the admin.

You can also customize the Abandoned Cart email which is sent to the buyer when he/she abandons the cart. To customize, go to Email Broadcast > Notifications and click on Abandoned Cart Notification Email to edit it.

Here’re some fabulous Abandoned Cart Email templates you can take a cue from. The more enticing and personalized your email will be, the higher would be the sales conversion.
