How Nonprofits Can Streamline Registration and Improve ROI
For many nonprofit organizations, registration is a big part of day-to-day operations. From events and education courses for members to professional development and ongoing training for employees, improving the registration process can have a significant impact on your programs and your vision.
Save Staff Time
Registration without the aid of a software or program can be a time-consuming process. If you’re manually entering attendee information and sending reminders while also prepping for the event itself, it’s likely there’s not much time left for anything else. A registration software like Learning Stream can take those manual tasks off your individual employees, automating processes and eliminating the potential for human error. Features like automated email reminders, centralized data and reports, and auto-populated attendee information can have a dramatic impact on staff allocation and time.
For a nonprofit like the Saint Kateri Tekakawitha Catholic Parish, the results speak for themselves. Before implementing Learning Stream, the process of collecting and inputting registration information for their wildly popular religious education classes took no less than three months, multiple staff members, and at least a dozen volunteers. Today, Learning Stream has fully transformed the Parish’s entire registration system, freeing up staff to focus on providing quality education.
Increase Capacity
Not only does registration software free up staff capacity, it also can give nonprofits more time to spend on expanding programs and offerings. As nonprofits grow, the demand for additional programs increases. Scaling operations to handle the demand can be overwhelming, but Learning Stream can help support that growth.
Features like waitlist and cancellation management for popular events and the ability to account for complex pricing and discount scenarios allow nonprofits to collect and handle large amounts of data without overburdening employees or registrants. As your programs grow, Learning Stream’s reporting tools can give you valuable insight into attendee trends and areas for improvement, helping you serve more people and achieve greater impact.
Generate More Revenue
Nonprofits often run on thin margins, making every dollar count. Every hour of staff time saved, every additional registration processed, and every program or event added with the increased capacity directly contributes to revenue generated. Even something as simple as an easier registration process for participants can translate to increased attendance and recurring participation, also leading to higher revenue.
Make Room for Training
An efficient registration system that saves time for employees also creates space for staff development. Take the opportunity to level up your hard-working employees while Learning Stream takes care of the administrative tasks. An investment in your team’s growth and individual development ensures they are well equipped to handle challenges and contribute to your nonprofit’s vision.
