Trying to run your event with a dozen disconnected tools? It's killing your ROI and your SEO. Here’s why smart organisers are switching to unified platforms — and winning.

The Problem No One Talks About: Your Tools Are Competing With Each Other

Let’s be honest. Most event teams are running a Frankenstack:

  • A splash page on one platform
  • Tickets via a third-party tool (with their branding, not yours)
  • An “app” nobody downloads
  • A CRM that doesn’t sync
  • Zero SEO juice carried over between events

It’s duct tape, string, and crossed fingers — and it’s costing you more than you think.

Not just in time and money. In audience growth, data ownership, and brand authority.


The New Standard: One Platform to Run It All

What used to take 5 tools and 3 freelancers now takes one platform — and no stress.

With Presso’s PEA© (Progressive Event App) solution, here’s what’s included in a single, done-for-you build:

✅ Your branded conference website, SEO-optimised and future-proof

✅ Built-in event ticketing system (Stripe + 1%)

✅ Fully responsive, web-based event app (no downloads, ever)

✅ Integrated CRM for nurturing attendees year-round

Attendee data reuse across events

✅ Ultra-fast setup in 2–4 weeks

✅ Full white-glove service — we write, design, and launch it for you

You own the domain. You keep the data. You build real digital equity.

This isn’t a SaaS tool. It’s your outsourced digital events team.


Let’s Talk ROI: Why All-in-One Wins Every Time

1. SEO That Actually Stays With You

Every time you spin up a new ticketing link on someone else’s domain, you’re handing Google your traffic on a silver platter.

When you use Presso, you’re building up your own domain — not Eventbrite’s, not Hopin’s. That means:

  • More backlinks to your site
  • More indexed pages = higher search authority
  • A growing online presence with each event

👉 Your events become a long-term content asset, not a one-time campaign.


2. Ticketing Fees That Aren’t Robbery

Most tools charge 5–8% in hidden ticket fees. Then layer VAT on top.

We charge just 3.5% in card payment transaction fees — transparent, fair, and always yours.

That’s up to £3,500 saved on a £50k event.

And guess what? Your brand, not ours, stays front-and-centre at checkout.


3. The Event App People Actually Use

Apps are dead. Nobody downloads them anymore.

PEA© is a web-based event app that launches instantly when an attendee taps your smart link.

No logins. No downloads. Just magic.

Think:

  • Live schedule
  • Speaker bios
  • Announcements
  • Maps
  • Smart notifications
  • Attendee profiles

And it works beautifully on every screen, every time.


4. CRM + Reusable Attendee Data = Growth

Every time you run an event with a disconnected system, your list dies a little.

With Presso, you get a clean, compliant CRM baked in — so you can:

  • Retarget previous attendees
  • Nurture your warmest leads
  • Segment and invite intelligently
  • Build repeatable success

Your data isn’t siloed. It’s your most valuable asset — and with PEA©, it grows with every event.


Your Events Deserve More Than a Tech Stack

If you're running summits, conferences, or multi-day events that actually matter, you need more than a “tool.”

You need a cohesive digital presence — a single ecosystem where your:

  • Website
  • Ticketing
  • Marketing
  • CRM
  • Event app

…all talk to each other, work seamlessly, and reflect your brand at every touchpoint.


The Silent Killer: Switching Costs & Setup Hell

Most tools sell “flexibility.” What they mean is you’ll do the work.

Presso does everything for you.

No templates. No stress. No trying to “figure it out.”

  • Write your content
  • Design your site
  • Build your CRM
  • Set up your ticketing

10 Builds Per Year. That’s It.
