However, during the development of Loteraise, we increasingly encountered a different need.<\/p><p>Many of the organizations we work with do not only organize lotteries. They also organize club parties, benefit evenings, festivals, tournaments, meetings, performances, and other events for which tickets must be sold.<\/p><p>And there appeared to be a striking similarity.<\/p><h2>The same challenge, but for ticket sales<\/h2><p>From the beginning, the starting point at Loteraise was that technology should help an organization and not make things more complicated.<\/p><p>An association or foundation does not want to deal with complex software. They want to set up a campaign, reach participants, process payments, and ultimately retain as much result as possible for their organization or cause.<\/p><p>The exact same thing turned out to be true for ticket sales.<\/p><p>Organizers regularly face relatively high service fees, complicated systems, and functionalities that are not necessary at all for small and medium-sized events. Especially for an association, foundation, or local organizer, every euro spent on ticket costs can be one too many.<\/p><p>Based on the experiences we gained with Loteraise, a new idea emerged: <strong>why don&#8217;t we also build a simple and affordable platform for events?<\/strong><\/p><p>That idea grew into Eventries.<\/p><h2>The step to Eventries<\/h2><p>Loteraise founder Marijn Bax developed Eventries together with Stijn Deckers and Finn Cuijpers. The knowledge and experience gained with online payments, user-friendly software, and working with associations and other organizations formed an important foundation.<\/p><p>Where Loteraise focuses on lotteries, giveaways, donations, and fundraising, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventries.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Eventries<\/strong><\/a> focuses entirely on events and ticket sales.<\/p><p>The starting point is largely the same: make professional software accessible to organizations that have no need for unnecessary complexity or high costs.<\/p><h2>What can you do with Eventries?<\/h2><p>With Eventries, an organizer can set up an event and manage the entire ticket sales process from a single environment.<\/p><p>Consider, for example:<\/p><ul><li><p>various types of tickets, such as Early Bird, regular, or VIP;<\/p><\/li><li><p>a dedicated online sales page for the event;<\/p><\/li><li><p>online payments;<\/p><\/li><li><p>discount codes and promotions;<\/p><\/li><li><p>insight into ticket sales and revenue;<\/p><\/li><li><p>digital tickets with QR codes;<\/p><\/li><li><p>scanning and verifying tickets at the entrance;<\/p><\/li><li><p>visitor and sales reports.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>As a result, Eventries can be used for a wide range of events: from the annual party of a sports association to a benefit evening, festival, performance, conference, or other event.<\/p><h2>Loteraise and Eventries: two platforms, the same philosophy<\/h2><p>Although Loteraise and Eventries are two separate platforms, they are based on a similar underlying philosophy.<\/p><p>Organizations must be able to use technology to achieve better results, without a large portion of their proceeds being lost to complicated or expensive systems.<\/p><p>At Loteraise, this means, for example, that an association can professionally <strong>organize an online lottery<\/strong> while maintaining insight into participants, payments, sales, and draws.<\/p><p>At Eventries, it means that an organizer can sell tickets, manage visitors, and scan tickets at the entrance without needing a heavy or costly ticketing system.<\/p><p>In both cases, the technology should primarily do what it is supposed to do: make the organizer&#8217;s work easier.<\/p><h2>More possibilities for associations, foundations, and events<\/h2><p>The arrival of Eventries therefore fits well with the broader development we see at Loteraise.<\/p><p>Associations, foundations, and charities are becoming increasingly professional in the way they generate income. An organization is no longer solely dependent on membership fees, subsidies, or traditional donations.<\/p> <p>For example, a club can organize a lottery during the year to raise money for new equipment and, a few months later, sell tickets via Eventries for the annual club party. A foundation can organize a benefit event and deploy additional fundraising activities around that same event.<\/p><p>Digital platforms make it possible to organize these activities more professionally without requiring a large team.<\/p><h2>A new venture from the same conviction<\/h2><p>What started with the development of Loteraise has thus indirectly led to a second platform.<\/p><p>Not because ticket sales are the same as a lottery, but because while working with our customers, we saw that there is a need for the same thing in both markets: <strong>simple software, personal support, and fair costs.<\/strong><\/p><p>With Eventries, Marijn, Stijn, and Finn are now continuing that philosophy within the events market.<\/p><p>Are you organizing an event soon and looking for an easy way to sell tickets online and scan visitors at the entrance?<\/p><p>Then visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventries.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.eventries.nl<\/strong><\/a> and discover how Eventries works.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Loteraise, we help associations, foundations, charities, and other organizations to easily organize online lotteries and fundraising campaigns.
