KuvviEvent
Overview
Running exclusive events for your patrons is a great way to diversify your fund-raising activity and KuvviEvent is the easiest way to manage your events calendar.
With Kuvvi’s easy-to-use administration tools you are able to create details of your events whenever you want. Your supporter can then select their desired event and attendance time using Kuvvi’s dynamic webforms. After providing the necessary personal details your customer pays online, and Kuvvi immediately issues a unique entry ticket. Purchasers can also gift places to friends or family members and leave the exact time/date open for the recipients to select at a later date. The system automatically updates so that bookings cannot be made if places are unavailable for any chosen event.
KuvviEvent provides comprehensive and easy-to-use diary management facilities for event managers so you can rapidly create new one-off and repeating events or handle cancellations, postponement and rescheduling with ease. There is no need to liaise with your existing web supplier or IT support, and we can have everything in place for you within a month.
KuvviEvent can be deployed on its own or in combination with other Kuvvi components such as KuvviSponsor.

FAQs
Are tickets fraud resistant?
Each ticket is uniquely identified using a barcode and numerical identifier (where appropriate we can also include the purchaser's name and address). Tickets can then be checked against an Excel spreadsheet that has been exported from Kuvvi, or we can deploy KuvviEPOS to allow you to scan tickets on entry.
Is on-going technical support part of the package?
We handle configuration, deployment, hosting and technical support for you and your customers.
Is personal data in Kuvvi secure?
Personal information such as address details are stored by Kuvvi but accessible only to named system administrators at the customer organisation (who are required to login to the system to view this kind of data).
Kuvvi doesn’t look like an ‘online shop’. Is this a good idea?
Off-the-shelf eCommerce systems are generally designed for handling fairly large product catalogues where items and costs change frequently and where customers typically purchase several items in one go. However, sponsorship/membership/ticketing packages change infrequently and payers rarely combine one type of product with another, which makes the usual off-the-shelf online shop systems overly complex for supporting this type of transaction.
Kuvvi is designed to specifically meet the needs of your supporters and to maximise the value of each purchase, which makes a big difference to customer conversion and value of sale. We know this through our work on www.edinburghzoo.ork.uk/support and through wider research, for example take a look at the website of the world’s leading conservation body - http://support.wwf.org.uk/index.php?page=shop&cid=1 - and note how the process of purchasing membership or adoption bears little resemblance to a typical online shop (which supports our view that the Kuvvi way of doing things is the right way for attractions and charities).
What sorts of digital material can Kuvvi generate?
Kuvvi has a clever built in system that can take the information provided by a payer, combine it with built-in templates that we create on your behalf and generate materials for print in PDF form. This means that Kuvvi can generate personalised letters, certificates, photos, membership cards and tickets and deliver them to your supporters without any involvement from you. So, there is no administration involved on your part, no postage charges to impact on your margin and it’s better for the environment too!
Who created Kuvvi?
Kuvvi was developed by Futurate - a Sheffield based digital agency with over a decade’s experience of building sophisticated websites.
Why don’t I just build my own system or commission a cheap one from somebody else?
Development of good quality, commercially-focused web software is very expensive in terms of the initial capital outlay, the time and commitment needed to work with designers and the subsequent ongoing running costs.
Affordable off-the-shelf online shop software that is provided by other web designers is general purpose, while Kuvvi is specifically created for visitor attractions and charities that can benefit from sponsorship/membership/ticketing/events.
In short, we’ve invested tens of thousands of pounds in development so that you don’t have to.
KuvviEvent is designed to make your online fundraising more effective, efficient and easy to measure, so if you want to make it work for you please contact us.
