    Pros:
    Booth Central is very efficient and organized. They make the process of taking reservations simple. It is like having another employee in our office. Their customer service is great.
    Cons:
    There's not much. It could be a little more flexible. We run many types of events and sometimes the default inquires do not apply to our vendors. I would like to be able to enter my own questions. I must say, that the BC team always tries to accommodate any changes we request.

    It's a great event platform. I think vendors who signed up for our last event will be very pleased with how easy it is the next time. My questions were quickly answered in the chat or emails, and we have confidence with BoothCentral.

    Pros:
    The personal service is AMAZING. No other event platform offers this level of human interaction.
    Cons:
    Charging vendors upon approval when vendors felt they selected not to auto charge their card drew a few complaints from our vendors, but this year, we worked around that by clarifying the payment process in our information.

    Reasons for switching to BoothCentral

    Eventbrite works well for our resident registrations because we accept all our our building residents, but we wanted the ability to jury our guest artists and not just accept those who signed up first.

    Pros:
    Booth Central is very easy to use, both for the vendor and the vendor coordinator. The only issues we have had is sometimes vendors try to sign up using their phones, and can't do it... I recommend a real computer. Booth Central allows us to curate vendors, which is important to us (approving the ones you want; denying the ones you don't want). I REALLY like how the vendors have to put in a credit card and pay 1/2 down at registration, and the rest is charged automatically. Super convenient and no chasing down of money. It's a little clunky if a card fails... I have had to contact customer support a few times about those issues, but they're not a big deal. Customer support has been responsive and helpful.
    Cons:
    Booth Central is not a communications vehicle... you can't email all your vendors about an update in plans, for example. For that, you have to download all your vendors and upload into something like MailChimp. Also, if you want more than one or two custom questions on your form, you have to have the Booth Central support team put them on the form for you (can't do it yourself). But, I did find support to be very responsive and helpful, so not a big deal.

    Reasons for choosing BoothCentral

    I decided we did not need the map feature of many other softwares.

    Reasons for switching to BoothCentral

    I have tried lots of booth management softwares. They all have their pros & cons, and depends on what you need. Booth Central does NOT have mapping... so if an interactive booth map is important to you, this is not your software. However, those softwares are typically very expensive as well. Booth Central is really affordable and no up-front costs, which is great.

    A Platform for Less Tech Savvy Event Planners

    [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] provided consistent and diligent support throughout the platform development process! I appreciate how attentive they were with answering our many questions. We felt extremely prepared for the event day. And I learned a lot about tech! The support team was fantastic with answering our questions and making adjustments to our platform. The support materials are super helpful as administrators and for users (event attendees). The materials made our event guide more robust to answer specific tech questions.

    Pros:
    The ease of the platform from the user experience perspective. It was clean and easy for attendees to find information as well as enter and engage in breakout sessions (booths). The capability for attendees to use video and text chat in the booths. The information tabs made it easy to share specific information pertaining to the event. The ability to brand the event with images and logos throughout the platform makes it unique to the organization.
    Cons:
    The live and booth chats didn't have capability to have live/hot links. Attendees would need to copy and paste a link into another browser. Attendees were not able to private message each other to network or share 1:1 information without sharing with everyone. It would be great to have an all-in-one platform instead of having to learn and use another platform to stream to the livestream stage/page. It would be great if the admin log in could "open" the booths instead of having a separate log-in for each booth. The admin could assign admin capabilities to each booth for presenters to have access to share slides, record, and manage attendees.

    Reasons for choosing BoothCentral

    Budget constraints and BoothCentral provided a more cohesive event for our attendees.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Amy, Thanks for the honest review. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. We recognized some of the features you listed in the Cons section are not possible yet on BoothCentral. However, with the exception of livestream stage/page, all the others will be possible in our completely new revamped platform called Boothy. Stay tuned! Best, Ben

    Pros:
    It is very user friendly. Easy to use. The Booth Central support team is very helpful and responds quickly. We only have to use one software platform, to jury the artists and to manage the show. One other feature that has been very helpful, is that we can accept applications until our show is full. Our old software had a rigid deadline, and applicants could not apply after the deadline. Due to Covid and the effect it has had on art shows, it is very helpful to be able to accept applications and jury on a rolling basis. I have not yet used all the features that this software offers because we are still just accepting applications at this point. We also did several Virtual shows with Booth Central, which were the first of their kind at the time! They were awesome!
    Cons:
    There are a few small tweaks, that I can think of, but nothing major.

    Reasons for choosing BoothCentral

    The other product was not updated much over the 10 years we used it. It was focused on the jurying process primarily, rather than helping a promoter manage a show. We had to use yet another database program to track and manage those things, and had to transfer and input information from that platform to the database that helped us manage all aspects of the show. That was very time consuming, and left room for error working in 2 programs all the time. Booth Central really helps me from the business side of things, as in the payment processing I mentioned previously for example. They are adding new features all the time that are helpful.

    Reasons for switching to BoothCentral

    I became familiar with Booth Central and what they offered, by having a Virtual Show with them when our event was canceled due to Covid.their team is great to work with and once we learned more about it, we decided to make the switch!

    Great vendor management tool for event producers

    5

    We starting using Booth Central for the virtual experience and quickly shifted to having them run all of our vendor signup forms. The team have been great at being adaptive and helping build the software to meet our needs. We have done about a dozen events each year and the Booth Central team are involved n every step, helping us make the process as easy as possible. We rely heavily on vendor/exhibitor signups for our events so having an easy, intuitive, software program is key to our success and Booth Central has done just that. We have used a lot of vendor management programs over the years and we have found that Booth Central is by far the best out there.

    Pros:
    The software is easy to use and allows us to put multiple events online so that vendors can easily signup for all of our events. We use the software for a variety of events (community, wine festivals, beer festivals, vendor festivals, etc) and all of them have run smoothly from a vendor/exhibitor standpoint. Our vendors have loved the ability to signup for multiple events using the same program so that they don't have to continue to enter the same information over and over
    Cons:
    Being able to email more information to the participants would be a big help. The software allows for reminders to pay, but to have an in system email service would be great to communicate with all the participants. Accounting can get a bit messy when running multiple shows on the platform, but the BoothCentral team have always been quick to assist where they can.

    Reasons for switching to BoothCentral

    We were having troubles with the backend on Lennd and we weren't able to customize things as well as we have been able to with Booth Central.

    The customer service is top-notch both for myself as an event organizer and for my vendors. The payment plan options for vendors plus giving them the option to auto-charge their credit cards has saved me hours and hours of chasing folks down for late payments. Being able to quickly see who is 'overdue' on payments is also a time saver. One thing I've never been able to do before that I can do with BoothCentral is see who has 'started applying' to my event. It allows me to follow up with a personal email to encourage a follow-through.

    Pros:
    Normally, my vendors cringe at any change in the application process. Our festivals are between 8 and 40 years old. So far, there is such little difficulty for our vendors to register, that I'm astounded . I hardly hear a peep about the shift to a new website.
    Cons:
    The images that artists submit are lower quality once downloaded from the site. Also time consuming to download each separately. Not a deal breaker though.

    Reasons for switching to BoothCentral

    I had used BoothCentral for virtual events and loved the simplicity of the process for my vendors, the jury process, and the price.

    I feel that the reports could be better. I think Vendors should get reports of the names and contact info of people who entered their booth, and the Hosts should have access to reports that detail each attendee and which booths they entered.
