Wienermobile Program Review

I included a lot about my experience in what I liked above, but I will say that while our program has been going for 36 years, I think it's at its peak efficiency because of Network Ninja. I am a huge fan of the program, and I love working with [sensitive content hidden] . She is so responsive and helpful. Our company has occasionally mentioned that we should have the scheduling process fall under our "company websites", and I will fight that always because no one in our company could be as efficient and helpful as [sensitive content hidden] . She is the best!

Pros:

I love everything about Network Ninja. Its easy to use, when I need help I get it quickly, and it keeps the many details in my life organized in one place. Planning 1,400 events a year by yourself is difficult if you don't have the programming to help keep all the details clear and organized. This program allows my events contacts to input their information, which gives them accountability to the details they told me. It then allows me to be able to approve and edit those requests quickly and efficiently. Then I can assign a team. If I've already assigned a team to a different event, it will let me know that, so I don't double book or get confused. It catches me making mistakes, which in turn makes our event contacts and customers happy. I wouldn't be able to do my job without Network Ninja.

Cons:

I do struggle a bit to learn how to pull certain data that I need, but whenever I do, [sensitive content hidden] is right there to either pull that data for me or teach me how to. She gets back to me in an instant and always solves the problem or my concern. Because of her, I truly do not have many quams with Network Ninja. If I did, she would get them fixed for me!

Reasons for switching to MainEvent

I never used the Sharepoint site, so I am not sure why they disliked it. But knowing how much I love Network Ninja, I am confident that it is better for many reasons. I've used some of our sites for other areas of my work, and they are nothing compared to Network Ninja.

Vendor Response

Hi Dorothy, Thank you so much for your feedback! Its great awesome to hear that you have been able to reach "peak efficiency" with MainEvent, and we look forward to continuing to work together!

Industry Gold Standard for Event Software

We have been customers of Main Event for over a decade, and they have been integral in growing our company's experiential event offering to our clients. They have worked with us to customize very intricate features and processes that allowed us to better serve our customers and our internal personnel. Their team of experienced developers understands this event/sales industry and can help build the platform to meet all your needs.

Functionality

Pros:

Main Event provides a seamless experience for scheduling and managing events across a wide variety of industries, clients and event types. They have been doing this for decades, and have a robust set of customizable features and functionality to suit customers of all sizes. They are open to our suggestions for product features and enhancements, and regularly release new updates. With this platform you can easily simplify your event management process, capture in-depth statistics, communicate with your event staff, and maximize your event experiences.

Cons:

You will need to have a separate payroll processing site, as they do not include a payment feature at this time. While that works for my company, as we have a third party vendor we prefer to use and can easily export a payment file from Main Event to share with our payroll vendor, I understand some companies are looking for that key feature to be included in their event software.

Vendor Response

Thank you Kristen! Always appreciate your feedback and attention to detail in making our systems and processes better because of your efforts.

Main Event review - Charbroil Smoker Tour '22

With MainEvent, my company was able to provide transparency and accountability of every activation and outcome. The dashboards and calendar allow clients access to the tour at anytime and kept my team aware of any significant hiccups while our team was on the road.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

There were a lot of moving parts and it was very important to be able to keep track of things in real-time, which is where MainEvent’s recaps really stood out. Taking grills on the road for 10 weeks, and grilling with them for six hours a day comes with various hardships, and the tour managers had a lot of questions come up. As the need for data and analysis for clients grew, MainEvent helped me pull together statistics for CharBroil to show the success of the tour. One of the main things CharBroil wanted us to hit on was measurements (lead capture) and we were able to do this through the data collected via MainEvent’s recapping feature. The client could see the progression of the tour including: impressions, sales, samples distributed, and key learnings - which were captured via comment fields.

Cons:

This was my first time using a product like this one for an event that I was responsible for managing. So, as far as I know there were not any least likable features that stood out. I thought the product as a whole was very beneficial and included everything the client and field managers needed to have access to.

Reasons for choosing MainEvent

MainEvent came by default for me once I became responsible to manage the Charbroil Tour. My specific experiential team has been using MainEvent for years now and has always enjoyed their relationship and tenure with their staff.

Vendor Response

Grayson, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. The Charbroil Tour is an excellent use of our software, and you did a great job utilizing recap data to provide transparency for your clients!
