Testimonials

"We've utilized the services of Event Journal for many years now, for a variety of events. Our most recent project was an annual dinner dance gala. EVENTjournal.com created the event website for us, which featured an online journal and online registration. In addition, Event Journal produced an elegant multimedia slideshow. The Event Journal slideshow ran continuously throughout the dinner, displaying highly impactful sponsor ads. The slideshow seamlessly integrated itself into the evening's festivities, spurring great interest and conversations among our guests. Everyone loved it because they got to see—-up close and personal if you will—-who was supporting the cause."

“We were putting together a huge event, a day-long symposium to honor the 20-year anniversary of our president. We found ourselves getting very short on time in terms of producing a printed tribute book. Plus, we simply didn’t have the manpower to manage one. I found EVENTjournal.com through an internet search, and realized it was the perfect solution for us. An online journal means an “up-to-the-minute” journal, and that’s exactly what we needed. We encountered a lot of unexpected, last minute revisions.

With our Event Journal website, we were able to present our constituents with up-to-date information, something that would have been impossible to do given the deadline constraints of a printed paper journal. Although it can be difficult to change a culture that’s so accustomed to printed journals, it’s definitely worth doing a comparison with Event Journal. Just think of the cost associated with designing and printing paper journals. Not to mention the time and effort it takes to traffic the ads and get them to the printer by deadline. The Event Journal staff was incredibly receptive and helpful from the first phone call. I could not have asked them to work harder, or be more focused on my particular event.”

"The 'Friends of Mercy Medical Center' holds a major fundraiser Ball for the hospital every year.  It's a great tradition, and this year marked our 72nd anniversary.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to meet the demans of producing a paper journal, with Mercy's small staff spending a great deal of time typesetting ads- while also juggling all of the other arrangements.  To raise more donations, we needed to keep the journal open longer.  That's basically why we turned to the online journal from EVENTjournal.com. 

Not only did the online journal generate a better response, but our sponsors got more for their money since they received more exposure. The staff at EVENTjournal.com was very responsive, and provided absolutely great production assistance. In addition, Event Journal produced a slideshow that was shown at the actual event, and our sponsors as well as guests loved seeing the ads on display all night long. EVENTjournal.com is a great idea, and a smart concept. Their system capabilities are exhaustive—and go way beyond both a paper journal and an online journal. In the future, I hope that The Friends will utilize EVENTjournal.com to attract large, corporate donors. I think they’ll be very receptive to the idea.”

“As a public relations firm we are always looking for new concepts for our clients that help make their events unique. EVENTjournal.com is a great product that does just that. EVENTjournal.com allows our clients to offer visibility to their supporters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for one full year. EVENTjournal.com also provides a website for the event that can be used to buy sponsorships, reserve tickets, select tables, provide information on honorees, list auction items, download pictures of the event and lots more. That’s a tremendous benefit because these types of activities need to be done anyway, but are traditionally handled as separate labor-intensive expensive tasks. With EVENTjournal.com, these activities seamlessly become a part of the entire online journal experience while creating additional exposure for your supporters. Will we continue to recommend our clients to utilize Eventjournal.com?  Absolutely.”

 “The reason I keep coming back to Event Journal is simple: They help make my events a financial success. The Event Journal is much more flexible than its paper counterpart, and this allows us to raise more money with less stress. Everyone at the Event Journal team treats us like Iona is their only client. Even though they have grown, they've never let us feel any less important. They are all very accessible and they always deliver! I continue to be very impressed with Event Journal. ”

“The Event Journal system is a unique product and valuable resource to offer to our sponsors for many reasons. It has a much greater impact and life span than the conventional paper journal. It is also a powerful tool because it gives our sponsors more depth to their investment as well as a direct link to their home page that stays active for a year after the event.” “Everyone at Event Journal was very accommodating. They really focused on me, the customer, by being attentive and providing fast turnaround.”

“I have worked closely with Event Journal for about five years and I must say that this is a fantastic tool for fundraising. Not only is it state of the art, it decreases the administrative burden of creating a print journal which lets us focus on the real matter at hand, which is fundraising. In this day and age, you have to think out of the box and the Internet has become a platform to differentiate yourself as an organization. By using this tool, you can take your organization to the next level and see an increase in efficiency and revenue!”

“All in all, I am very pleased with the reaction to the ad journal. I was singing Event Journal’s praises at the AFP-NJ Conference on Philanthropy the other day. I want to thank all of you for helping to make our 4th Annual Sports Night a great success. We think we grossed about $35,000 from the event. This was due in large part to including Event Journal in our plans.

I had an easier time selling the online journal ads than selling tickets to the event. The business people I spoke with understood the value of the ad and we’ve more than doubled our revenue from last year’s event. Thank you so much for your extraordinary designs and creativity. You were a delight to work with before and during our event. I never thought we would succeed as much as we did.”“Event Journal and its crackerjack team will continue to be an indispensable part of my event fundraising success! This is just the beginning of a beautiful partnership.”

“The results were outstanding. Not only did the online journal create excitement amongst its 100 participants and 1400 guests, it enhanced our networking capabilities since we were able to use the journal as a tool to solicit sponsorships. We could have prospective sponsors and donors log on and see the event information immediately. We were also able to show value to restaurants and participants that had Web sites since each of them were directly linked from our Event Journal Web site. "I am enthused about our ability to enhance our web journal. It has been a pleasure working with all of the associates from Event Journal.”
