Running Your Event: Comms, Raffles and CRM

Software/Running your event

The unglamorous half, which is where evenings are actually won.

Chasing table names, writing to the right people, drawing a raffle you can defend, and getting your supporters into the CRM afterwards. None of it demos well. All of it decides how the night goes.

Write to the right guests

Not a mail merge. Pick “the tables that still have not sent names” or “everyone who owes money”, and the software already knows exactly who that is — because it holds the tickets, the seats, the bids and the payments in one place.

Unsubscribes are honoured automatically, and every send is recorded with who sent it. That last part matters when three people are messaging guests on the same night.

Write it Monday, send it Thursday

Schedule the whole run-up in one sitting. And write to the people who bid and lost separately from the ones who beat them — because somebody who bid £400 and went home empty-handed has already told you exactly what they were willing to give.

Email, SMS and WhatsApp, with outbid and closing alerts included at no per-message cost.

Raffles you can defend

One entry per ticket, so ten tickets really are ten chances — not one entry with a multiplier nobody can audit.

The draw records the entry list, the winning position and the time — and says so in red if anyone changes the entries afterwards. 50:50 draws too.

If a trustee ever asks how you know the draw was fair, that record is the answer. And whether you need a licence →

Fundraising games and raffle running in the platform

For the people running it

Your team, and what happens after

Team tasks & shared documents

A simple shared to-do list for the people helping run the night, plus somewhere to keep the run sheet, seating plan and sponsor pack where everyone can find them.

Supporters into your CRM

One row per person with totals, seats, bids and Gift Aid status, in the shape import wizards expect. No pretending to integrate with a CRM we have never tested against.

Fundraising pages for supporters

Someone running a marathon for you starts their own page in a minute, no account required. Photos, updates, teams — and a way to record the cash they collected at work so their total is actually right.

Pages that stay alive

Fundraisers post dated updates, edit them, and hide one rather than lose it. The people most likely to give again are the ones who already did — but they need a reason to come back.

A new event site in minutes

Tell it the event name, date and venue and it builds the pages an event needs, each with the right thing already on it. It never touches a page you have already written.

Your client never sees WordPress

Give the charity an Event Organiser login and they land on their event, not a dashboard. No Posts, no Plugins, no Settings — genuinely closed off, not hidden behind a menu.

The event assistant answering questions from real event data

An assistant that knows your event

Ask which lots have had no bids, or what still needs chasing, and get an answer from your real data rather than a guess.

It runs on your own AI account, so you see the cost and can switch it off yourself. And it reads only — it never changes anything.

The boring half, built properly, so the night runs itself.
