FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Francisco, CA – The eZ-XPO Virtual Conference Platform offers nonprofits a boost to fundraising and growing members.
Environmental, health, social justice, and other nonprofit organizations can now leverage a powerful virtual event platform to help prevent anticipated drops in donations and membership due to the pandemic-related economic slowdown. The eZ-XPO Virtual Conference Platform, made available through the digital marketing agency, Social Smart Media, offers any organization a practical tool for education, fundraising, engaging members and boosting memberships.
A virtual event and fundraiser can quickly and easily be arranged with the eZ-XPO Virtual Event Platform, even without prior event experience. Nonprofit leaders, during this challenging time, are encouraging staff and board members to communicate and engage with their members. A virtual event, with the option for a fundraiser, can significantly augment this strategy. Many businesses, and organizations are already pivoting to virtual-only events, with much lower risk and substantially lower cost than physical events.
The viability for some nonprofit organizations, that many people take for granted, is real. According to the National Council of Nonprofits: Conversations about nonprofit sustainability have turned into conversations about their survivability. The YMCA is among several national groups asking Congress for $60 billion in emergency funding for nonprofit organizations nationwide.
“Holding a virtual conference, with the option for a virtual fundraiser, should not be overlooked just because a nonprofit has not tried it before,” said Kim Ryle, CEO of Social Smart Media. “Numerous nonprofits are considered the glue that hold our communities together. Many provide a safety net for the most vulnerable. This platform offers a unique way to educate, inspire and gather community support. Our agency offers additional marketing guidance and support to nonprofits using the eZ-XPO platform.”
Nonprofits can sell virtual exhibit booths to raise funds in a win-win situation. The eZ-EXPO Virtual Conference Platform provides most of the benefits and features of a physical event without the downside complications and expenses. There is no geographic restriction. Speakers, experts, sponsors, members and nonmembers can attend online from any location. The platform, unlike many others, offers virtual exhibit booths which allow numerous members, not-yet-members, and sponsors to show their support. Nonprofits can sell virtual exhibit booths and raise funds in an win-win situation.
Not only does the eZ-XPO platform provide ample opportunity for networking and globally shared programming through slides, video, live-chat and live streaming, but it also empowers all stakeholders to connect and collaborate even after the event is over.
The eZ-XPO platform can integrate with Facebook Live, Periscope Live and YouTube Live so exhibitors can launch and livestream any social media from their virtual exhibit booths.
All virtual content can be recorded and archived for access later by an even greater number of attendees and stakeholders.
“While coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused many businesses to pivot to virtual events, we have had numerous nonprofit organizations taking advantage of our platform,” said Matt Fok, founder/CEO. “The risks of hosting large physical events are becoming clearer, such as logistical nightmares, loss of work time associated with global event attendance and the enormous carbon footprints of exhibitors, equipment and attendees.”
Social Smart Media notes that one benefit of virtual events over physical events is the analytics. When a viewer visits a virtual exhibit booth their contact information is recorded, along with how long they stayed and what information they viewed or downloaded. Organizers and sponsors retain this information for easy and convenient follow up with prospective buyers.
The eZ-XPO platform is a world leader in virtual collaborative networking, empowering businesses and nonprofit organizations to connect, collaborate, and accelerate their progress. The platform has provided solutions for a variety of industry leaders such as VISA, Google, Wells Fargo, New York Life, Boeing, and organizations such as Alzheimer International Society, International Women’s Day Virtual Collaborative, Root Weavers and Government Blockchain Association.
