Adding Item Attributes

You begin by defining the new item.

• Product Type - here you can select what type of product you are offering @Austin Help here
  • Booth - a booth for exhibiting
  • Booth Worker - individual registrations for working a booth @Austin - is this not somewhere else?  
  • Advertising - advertising option
  • Sponsorship - sponsorship of the event
  • Physical Product - some type of physical product
  • Digital Product - some type of digital product
  • Community Membership - membership to the community @Austin - how does this work?
• Description - take a moment to describe this item in more detail and how it benefits the exhibitor.
• Booth Type - select the type of booth, if this is a booth (you will need to set up your booth inventory prior to setting up this item selection).
• Minimum & Maximum Quantity - minimum & maximum someone could purchase (NOTE: if you set a minimum of 1 then the system requires them to at least purchase 1 - most events leave this field blank).  
• Required - is the item required for registration?
• Private - would you like for this item to not show up on your public list of products.  This is great for items you may offer your sponsor organizations or on-demand items.

Membership

You can optionally choose to include a membership with an event registration.  

MailChimp

You can optionally connect a MailChimp campaign to each product.  This is great to do for items like booth purchases so you can systematically drip communications to your exhibitors about preparation for your upcoming event.
