New Members Onboarding Lets Make the Most of Your Esstart Membership

Now that you have become an Esstart member, let’s get your special features set up so that you can start enhancing your events and parties right away.

‍

As you might recall, in addition to the tremendous savings on the Esstart main products (Instant Spotlight, Storybook, Crossfader, Camera Roll, Seating Genie) we also provide essential members-only featurest such as LoudSpeaker and the Master QR Code.

‍

In this article, we’re going to help get you onboarded and show you how to set up and use customized branding, effective communication tools, and our automation capabilities.

‍

Loudspeaker is Your Customized Branding & Communications Tool

First let’s introduce Loudspeaker, our powerful branding & guest-communications tool.

‍

This is the exclusive members-only product that will help you set up your branding and also communicate with your guests.

Loudspeaker allows you to streamline communication and enhance the guest experience.

‍

You can send follow-up emails asking for feedback, or reminders to upload any other photos they may have taken during the event or remind them to share things to social media.
You can also use it as a promotional tool by sending all your guests a special offer on a future event they may choose to set up with you.
You can even use Loudspeaker to accept tips from your guests during the event!

‍

Before you watch our onboarding video below, here’s a spoiler alert on a few things you’ll need in order to complete your onboarding. To speed up your onboarding process (which we have already made very fast and easy), take a few minutes to collect the following:

‍

Your logo art
Your email banner (you can use canva.com to easily choose and customize an email banner if you don’t have one already)
Your custom guest banner (canva is a great hack for this too)
Your social media links
Your payment links (if you accept tips)

‍

We created a simple and short video that will walk you through the steps to complete this set up. Now you’re ready to go through the onboarding video. Just follow along, pausing when you need to complete a task.

‍

Then when you’re all done, send us an email letting us know how long it took you! Our goal is to get you making the most of our Esstart’s event and party products as fast and efficiently as possible.

So What’s this Master QR Code All About?

In case you missed the section near the end of the onboarding video, let’s take a moment to understand the value of the master QR Code. It’s another unique feature only available to Esstart members. In fact, it’s a standardized feature that came into existence by a special request from some of our early members.

‍

There are two types of QR codes for Members-only accounts. The event specific QR code and the Master QR code.

‍

The master QR code is connected to the Member Account. As you probably recall, when you set up an event you need to provide your guests with a qr code to scan. If you’re setting up a lot of events, you’ll be happy to know that the Master QR Code simplifies the process. As an Esstart member you can use one code (the master code) for all your events, saving you set up time and printing time.

‍

We recommend viewing the video again if you missed this important info as we show you how to get this code inside your members area and how to set it up.

‍

We also discuss what to do if you have simultaneous events so that there is no confusion over the use of the Master QR Code. It’s important to understand both features to get the most out of your Esstart membership.

‍

With this simple onboarding guide, you should now be up and running! We hope you found the information helpful and that you can now make the most out of your esstart party experience!
