Mobilize vs. Planned

Mobilize is very well suited to add processes around your non profit activities. Especially to host events and intimate your audience in real time about any new and upcoming events. It also automates the whole process to collect feedback from your audiences. Not so suitable to target new audience for your events.

Planned is well suited when you are stuck for ideas and require creative collaboration from a network of unique vendors.

• Event RSVP.
• Automated confirm emails/texts.
• Integration w/ NGP-VAN tools (EveryAction, Votebuilder).

Incentivized

• Hands-on oversight of execution of a virtual event and client success management
• Connecting event industry professionals with companies in need of their services
• Highlighting services that an event industry professional or company offers

Incentivized

• Doesn't help provide top of the funnel audience.
• Connecting like-minded people to mobilize crowd together for a common cause.
• The insights can be more actionable.

• The platform can use some tweaking (i.e.: when reserving hotels, adding guest rooms, including meeting rooms - instead of just spaces, which can be confusing when searching).

Before using Mobilize, we were handling confirmations using traditional organizing methods. By shifting to Mobilize, we freed up our organizers to focus on new volunteer recruitment and cut our flake rate significantly. We still use EveryAction from NGP-VAN, but we set up Mobilize to interface directly with that system via API.

Planned is the only event planning software company we have worked with, and plan to work with. The team behind the platform is constantly innovating to enhance features and the overall experience for both vendors and users.

• My audience is more aware of upcoming schedule.
• We get pin pointed feedback on our events.
• Reduced the TAT to schedule events.

• We were able to get repeat business from a new client brought to us by Planned
• We were able to learn more about what types of virtual event services we'd like to grow as a business, as a result of working with Planned
• We have not seen a financial ROI for our business yet because we have only worked with one client on the platform and it has been costly for us to accommodate this client
