"Glad Eventective found me. Your customer service has been better then super. I look forward to doing business with your company for many years. Thank you!"
Ray and Lisa Menz, Bakery Cakes by Lisa, Ocala, Florida
"Thank you Eventective! For being my detective and seeking out events that I normally may not have the opportunity to bid on. I have connected with a customer in downtown Denver that will hopefully become a future customer, and I have booked an event for April worth almost $30,000! Thank you. And the customer service rep at Eventective was fabulous!"
Lisa Herring, Director, Catering Sales, Denver Marriott City Center, Denver, Colorado
"I have to give Eventective top marks for customer service. I am extremely impressed, and I wrote a note to myself about your wonderful service on my to-do list for advertising and promotional efforts. If/when I decide to upgrade any of my free web listings, I will definitely consider Eventective first. Thanks again!"
Beth Sparks, Event Planner, Joyful Wedding Planning, Clearwater, Florida
"I wanted to write and tell you how pleased I am with your service. This past month I notified all of my suppliers for my DJ service that I was moving to the Easton, Maryland area (Denton, MD to be exact) in June 2009. Eventective is the only one so far that "gets it!!" It is very nice to see a supplier that reads and heeds my e-mails. Thank you for being efficient. Thanks again for working with me."
Bud Becker, DJ, Digital Sound DJ Service, Denton, Maryland
"In the past, one of my biggest frustrations with internet based referral sites was that I always felt like I was just another ‘subscription’. My experience with Eventective has been exactly the opposite. Not only can I choose which leads to purchase, but whenever I have contacted Eventective for assistance, or simply with a question, I consistently receive an almost immediate, and always personalized response. Thank you for your help, and personal attention to my questions."
Jeph DeLorme, Photographer, DeLorme Studio Ink LLC, Scottsdale, Arizona
"I first heard about Eventective from an event planner who was bringing me group business for a commission. She was selling to all the area hotels and we were all paying the commission. The commissions could sometimes get into the thousands over the course of the year. I noticed one of her leads had Eventective's website on the top so I looked it up. Now I save the hotel thousands! All I do is look at the leads sent to me and pay for the ones that interest me. I love this site! I check it first thing in the morning and before I leave for the day. I highly recommend it."
Jan Williamson, Director of Sales, Surfside Oceanfront Inn & Suites, Virginia Beach, Virginia
"Since Country Inn & Suites has been using Eventective as a preferred member, we have solidly booked four events averaging more than $600! I must say I was very skeptical at first, having to pay per lead, but it has worked out very well for us with only 2300 sq. feet of meeting/banquet space! I have encouraged all three of our Phoenix properties to get their preferred membership and get booking!"
Ellen LaVia, Director of Sales, Country Inn & Suites By Carlson - Deer Valley, Phoenix, Arizona
"Eventective consistently provides solid leads that lead to bookings. This is the first site I go to in the morning to start my day and the last site I look at at night. Eventective provides a history of leads, dates, emails, and bookings, making it easy to track ROI. Eventective is one of the only sites that has automated refunds. If the lead is bad or the planner just does not respond, you can get your money back as credit. Most sites I have been part of do not allow for that level of vendor satisfaction. In fact, I am so pleased with Eventective that I decided to go with an enhanced listing! If you are a vendor looking for leads and good client service support for those leads, Eventective is a no-brainer! You have everything to gain...and nothing to lose."
Pamela Sanders, Caterer, Terrace Catering, Gardener, Kansas
"Just wanted to let you know that we booked an event yesterday. A class reunion in Rochester for 300 people purchasing your lead. This is the second event through Eventective. We booked a wedding in March using Eventective and wrote to you to assure you that it a great avenue for receiving leads! Thanks again for the opportunity your site provides!"
Rick & Dianne, DJ, Little Richard's DJ & Karaoke, Rochester, New York
"I got my first lead from Eventective last week and followed through with email and got the job. Awesome...thank you!"
Dale Vandusen, DJ, Sound On Sound Productions, Harrowsmith, Ontario, Canada
"Eventective has gone above and beyond what I had expected. We have already had results with events. Again, thank you for the great customer service."
Carol Lynn Drennen, President, Caterer, Palate Pleaser, Inc., Hood River, Oregon
"Thanks for the excellent service. Eventective is the best lead generator I've found."
Richard Kent, DJ, Solid Gold Time Machine, Lynchburg, Virginia
"I receive two or three leads from Eventective every day. One day I received a lead that I nearly disregarded because it didn’t contain any specifics about DJ services. Because the lead appeared to be from a serious client, I purchased the lead anyway. The client responded within 24 hours saying that she hadn’t booked a venue yet but was interested in DJ services. Two days later we had a confirmed reservation with payment! Everything worked very well."
Darryl Palmer, DJ, The Singing DJ, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
"Thank you! I will continue to use your services because of the excellent customer service!"
Lauren Otomo, Weddings & Catering Sales Manager, Mauna Lani Bay Hotel, Kamuela, Hawaii
"Eventective has been WONDERFUL for us and our new conference center. Nearly 100% of our bookings have come from referrals from your site. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You've truly helped to make our new conference center a success!"
Nicole Forward, TOC Conference Center, Everett, Washington
"Eventective.com is a top notch site and I'm proud to be a part of it."
Reverend Thomas, Officiant, Reverend Thomas, California
"I had never heard of Eventective until one day I received an email stating that a couple was requesting information on my services for wedding photography. Eventective offered me a free $20 trial, so I purchased the couple's information, called them, set up a time to meet and show them my work, and booked the wedding right then and there! I have since set up an account with Eventective so I can cover more cities and towns surrounding me and have received numerous requests from other couples for information. I haven't received this many requests from other event sites that I am set up with. Go ahead and set it up with Eventective - you have nothing to lose."
Karen Skelly, Photographer, Karen Skelly Photography, Colorado
"Your site is kicking! I get more leads from you than anyone else. About 15 events booked from Eventective. I have passed your site on to several colleagues who could use it. Don't change it!"
Bob Coker, Photographer, Bob Coker Photos, Illinois
"We just booked a March 2009 wedding through the purchase of a lead through Eventective. For others who think this doesn't work I can certainly attest to the fact that it does! Thanks for being another avenue to increase our business!"
Richard and Dianne, DJ, Little Richard's DJ & Karaoke, Rochester, New York
"Eventective has been the perfect medium for A Perfect Event. The first
lead turned into a booking therefore allowing me to upgrade my
business level with Eventective. This is a great avenue for small
businesses like mine to get noticed. Thanks Eventective! "
Lenore Bittle, Wedding Coordinator, Event Planner, A Perfect Event, High Point, North Carolina
"Hi, just a short note to let you know how knocked out I am with Eventective! I wish that I had known about you long ago because you have filled a void between seasons with all your leads and many have been successful. I booked two yesterday from your emails and this is the reason why I purchase mainly from Eventective. Thanks again!"
Robin McMillan, DJ, Rockin Robin Disc Jockey Service, Niagara Falls ON, Canada
"Thanks for this useful and easy to use website! Registered as a vendor on Eventective and found it easy to create a profile in no time."
Paul Wainwright, Live Music, Paul Wainwright Band, Victoria, BC, Canada
"I have been overwhelmed by the number of pertinent leads and the quality of customer service we are receiving from your site! We were skeptical at first, but after becoming a metro enhanced listing on your site, we are certainly seeing the results! Eventective has been an easy and affordable way for us to advertise to our target market. I will continue to tell my friends, family, and clients about your fantastic website! Thank you again, and keep up the great work!"
Amanda L. Diehl, Museum Director, Snook's Dream Cars, Bowling Green, Ohio
"Eventective has been a wonderful tool for me. As an officiant, almost every lead I have received has booked me for their ceremony. Thank you for this wonderful service."
Linda Moore, Officiant, Linda Moore Weddings, Egg Harbor City, New Jersey
"Eventective is a wonderful resource for any event planner or professional. The site has made it so easy for my business to get dependable, good leads without wasting time. I am very pleased and will continue to use Eventective for years to come!"
Reverend Charlene F. Shoe, Officiant, Something Simple or Knot, Charlotte, North Carolina
"I would like to thank Eventective for your web site. I listed my business on your site and within the first 72 hours I had two leads, and had been retained to preside over and officiate three weddings from planners who called me directly after viewing my contact information on Eventective. I highly recommend a listing on Eventective!"
Dr. Patricia Demps, Officiant, The Gifts of Love, Forney, Texas
"I just wanted to say how much Eventective has helped me, right from the very first month I signed on. Dollar for dollar, my advertisement with Eventective has been way ahead of any other advertising I have tried. I am so glad to have found your company. Thanks!"
Sally Lloyd, Country Day Castle, Hilliard, Florida

"Just want to let you know that I have purchased about four of the $2.50 leads in the past week and I am already going to see one of the clients for a tasting. Worth every penny ten times over!"

"
Billy Fries, Owner, Live Music, Billy Fries "King of the Keyboards", Wilmington, Delaware
"I want to let you know how much we enjoy being a part of Eventective. We consistently receive and book qualified leads for corporate meetings and large social events such as weddings. This is a perfect mix for our hotel. The customer service from the staff at Eventective is fabulous! If I ever have a question, it is answered immediately. In the event I am not able to reach someone, my phone call or e-mail is always returned promptly. Thank you for offering such a useful service. We look forward to working with Eventective well into the future!"
Melissa Robinson, Director of Sales, Hilton Garden Inn Freeport Downtown, Freeport, Maine
"Massachusetts Horticultural Society has re-built itself from a small, historic, non-profit organization with a limited budget into a major participant in the meetings and events industry. Our Board of Trustees wanted to transform our focus using the best tools available that would match our mission statement and philosophy. At first we were leery about signing up with a company from out of state, but we quickly discovered that Eventective’s online search engine provided outstanding start-up options with flexibility for us to maintain and update our listing ourselves. We have access to track stats (including email leads) for our account. Our leads have steadily increased over the past two years and 2007 has produced such great results that our Trustees approved continuance of our partnership with Eventective. Another positive aspect of working with Eventective is that the staff is readily available and willing to work with us to resolve any questions or concerns. Due to our increased meetings business, Massachusetts Horticultural has found a need to add additional full time staffing to handle events and this has been an extremely positive step forward for us. Word has definitely reached meeting planners through Eventective that Massachusetts Horticultural Society is one of the leading venues in the Boston area."
Clark Brian, Director of Operations, Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Wellesley, Massachusetts
"Thanks to Eventective, Lamberti restaurants are being found by meeting planners and the result is we are now seeing an increase in both booked private and corporate events at our locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. We have access to all of our listings and can update the information whenever necessary – and the best thing is there is no cost for us to do so! Eventective makes advertising on the internet efficient and cost effective!"
Sarah Wood, Marketing Assistant, Lamberti Restaurant Consulting, Cherry Hill, New Jersey
" I was caught by surprise when the first fax came in from Eventective.
Then another came within a month's period. After some investigation, I saw that
Eventective had a good-looking website that could help us.
It wasn't until the third and fourth faxes or emails came that I got more excited.
But when we booked two events of the four, I was ecstatic!!
I'd recommend Eventective to any venue looking for qualified leads. Planners will find you on Eventective!"
Lee McMichael, Director of Conference Center Sales, James H. Rainwater Conference Center, Valdosta, Georgia
"I have been using Eventective for over 6 months and am very pleased with the leads that have been generated! Recently I have been using the event space Calendars for my back office bookings capability and have found this invaluable in the operation of my small Bed and Breakfast and event facility. My compliments to the designers! "
Steve Sefick, Owner, Sleepy Hollow Bed and Breakfast and the J.C Stribling Barn, Clemson, South Carolina
"Eventective has made advertising the City of Centralia and our venues so easy! Not only is the staff great to work with, but with just a few clicks I was able to list facility information with pictures. The best part is that I can update our information by myself any time.
"
Julie Noice, Convention and Meeting Recruitment Specialist, Economic Development Department, City of Centralia, Centralia, Washington
"Eventective is a wonderful internet marketing tool for universities and colleges
as it provides high value at low cost. With just a Simple listing on Eventective,
we received more email leads than we had through the service we were using. We just
upgraded to a Metro Enhanced listing status on Eventective. This advertising cost fit into
our budget limitations and we feel confident that our email leads will continue
to increase, thus proving that our marketing dollars have been well spent."
Vicki Fete, Assistant Director, Student Union Conference,
The University of Akron, Akron, Ohio

directly to us!"
Jodi Cirrincione, Sales Manager, Belvedere

"Simple to understand! Easy to use! And it works! That sums up my first impression
of the Eventective solution. This innovation of searching for event space availability
is an area that every business must deal with, making everyone's life easier. The
tourism industry will benefit as well as meeting planners and meeting venues booking
the meeting. It truly is the "win-win" for everyone."
Vaughn Stinson, CTC, CEO, Maine Tourism Association
"Within 2 weeks of listing on Eventective, we booked an event through the site. That
more than paid for our entire year's listing. Thank you Eventective!"

"Being listed on Eventective has greatly expanded marketing opportunities to rent
our museum event and meeting spaces. The Eventective Availability Calendar has become
our key scheduling tool, not only for our back office operations but also as a viewable
item for meeting planners on our Eventective listing. The use of the Eventective
Calendar has made us more efficient in our day-to-day work process."
Sara Merrill, Finance Manager, Children's
Museum of Maine, Portland
"I find all the special features of our Eventective listing extremely helpful in
managing our events, BUT my favorite feature is the Availability Calendar associated
with each of our event spaces. For me this has become the ultimate back office management
tool as it gives me a full month’s view of activity at a glance! I sign into Eventective
first thing each morning to recap what my day, week and month look like and move
forward from there. I really feel I have become much more efficient in my overall
event tracking and planning which gives me additional time to focus on other responsibilities.
If you haven’t yet used your Availability Calendars, you should try it. They are
easy to use and have really helped me to get organized!"

unique meeting and conference spaces. This invaluable service enables camps to market
and book off-season rentals to countless planners visiting Eventective.com daily."

"I would like to thank Eventective for giving me a vendor listing on your web site. I was so surprised when I went to my ad space and found all of the wonderful information that is supplied. The fact that there is not a referral fee for sending a client to me through Eventective was a shock, especially since just the week before I was sent two clients from another web service that charged $200.00. Coincidentally, I did not get either of those clients because by the time I paid the other company $200.00, and then charged my fee for Wedding Ministry Service, the client felt it was way too expensive. And I am one of the most reasonable Officiates in the Bay Area! So I'm sure you can see now why I am so very grateful to Eventective for your services. Thank you and Bless you All"
Sharon Albritton, Wedding Minister, Officiant,
The Wedding Lady

Dorothy Randall, Director, The Retreat

"In the short time I have been listed on Eventective, I have booked two events and am working with a third planner. Not only have I found Eventective to be a useful resource in marketing my business, but the planners I have worked with also had praise for Eventective. One of the brides whose wedding I recently officiated told me how pleased she was to have found Eventective, which in turn led her to me. Thank you for the wonderful service you provide to both vendors and planners alike."
