Splash Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Reviews & Insights

Our initial intent in adopting Splash was to fully transition our event invitation process to the platform, leveraging its capabilities for templated invitations, guest management, and on-site check-in. The goal was to streamline event workflows, improve brand consistency, and enhance the attendee experience. However, we’ve encountered several roadblocks that have limited our use of the platform. Currently, we primarily utilize Splash for on-site check-in and for building the initial shell of event invitations. While the platform offers potential for broader use, such as full-scale invite deployment and email automation, challenges around functionality, flexibility, and integration have prevented us from implementing it to its full extent. We’re continuing to evaluate how to better integrate Splash into our event workflow, but at this time, its use remains relatively limited in scope.

When we first started using Splash Event Marketing Platform, the platform showed great promise and worked well for our team’s needs. However, over the past year, we’ve encountered issue after issue—many of which are described by support as problems “no one else has ever experienced.” Unfortunately, this has happened frequently, making it difficult to trust the platform for consistent execution.

We are using Splash for an in-person Event. For Lead Sync we are using Adobe Marketo Marketing Tool. After creating an Event in Splash, we can manage everything within Splash, including changing the status and adding more questions to the form. For an in-person Event, we can easily use Splash and send automated emails through it upon audience activities.

We can generate leads for the event through the Splash Event page. Easy to gather audience through Splash, and easy to maintain leads with CRM and marketing tools through integration with Splash.

I have looked into using Splash Event Marketing Platform for a number of corporate events. All of the events were invitation only and were free for those invited to attend. Unfortunately, Splash continually came up short for this event type.

This is a great platform for paid events. Especially for companies that are looking for a standout design out of the box. Their themes are beautiful and the experience feels very upscale and professional for the registrant of paid events. For free events it’s quite clunky for the registrant and it’s less seamless. You don’t get that high-end feel since there is so many places it says “FREE”. When you’re trying to host an invite-only event, it’s not really about it being free as much as it’s about it being exclusive.

I used splash for the following:

• Landing page for content
• Registration page for activities/events/gated content
• Hosting virtual events
• Check-in for events
• integration with Salesforce

In the marketing world we are always looking to streamline processes and make things more efficient, while being data-driven. Splash provided us with the opportunity to get valuable time back in our day by automating tedious processes that used to be done manually. With splash, we have realtime insight into data. The virtual platform they have rolled out makes hosting virtual events a breeze!

Splash is great for:

• landing pages for content
• gated pages for content to capture data
• registration pages for events
• confirmation/reminder emails
• virtual event/webinar hosting

We used Splash for all of our field events. With the volume we had it was much easier to create landing pages and track registrations that what we had been using previously. While the entire marketing team didn't use it for all events it was a critical technology that helped us move quickly.

When we would have quick turn events, Splash was great due to the ease of updating the landing page. We were also able to host several templates so we didn't have to start from scratch each time. The email function we didn't use often as they didn't seem to get through to everyone's inbox.

Publicis Sapient uses Splash across our entire, global organization to help manage our event landing pages, event emails, registrations onsite check in and post event follow-ups. We used it for real life, in person events and now use it for our virtual events program as well. The business problems that Splash addresses are: ease of building landing pages that are beautiful and on brand, automated, custom emails, integration with Salesforce and it has given us usable attendee data quickly.

Splash is great for both large and small organizations for both corporate and social events. We've never used the payments processing, so I can't comment on that. Splash is convenient for self service and not having to rely on developer or design help. We see a copy change or want to change out a graphic, it takes 10 seconds to do it ourselves. Every page is on brand with the correct fonts, colors and design. The ease of use, speed to market, and agility we get from using Splash makes us look good. It’s not all me or my team — it takes a village. And in this case, Splash is part of the village. It’s been a lifesaver for us, and we don’t know what we’d do without it.

My co-worker and I currently use Splash Event Marketing Platform to market and manage our Hubspot User Group meetup events. While Hubspot has a great marketing platform, they moved us to Splash about a year ago due to its unique event management capabilities and we've been using it ever since!

We use Splash to create a registration page, host our events main page, deliver emails, check-in guests, etc.
We utilize their mobile app and their desktop app!

Compared to platforms like Eventbrite, I have a hard time recommending Splash to anyone and think if we weren't forced into using it because of our involvement with Hubspot User Groups, we would not be using it.

I think if the usability and other bugs could be improved along with support, then Splash could be great for small to mid-sized businesses that occasionally run events that they need 1) hosted all in one place and 2) consistent, custom branding.

Or if you're running small events where you simply need a custom designed sign-up page, a reminder email and a check-in app, Splash could work for you. While they're not transparent about their business pricing, I'd have to see that before deciding whether it is truly worth it for this purpose.

My event marketing team utilizes Splash for our external events. I am an event planner so my Operations team provides me access to view how the event is performing on the backend. It is so user friendly and I am able to look up anything I need without have to go to a person to pull a report. I love having the option to control what alerts I receive in my email and the dynamic nature of the Splash page itself. Changes can be easily made in very little time and in this day and age, that is invaluable.

It works well for all of our events. It even lives after the event as well, as a page for important post-event materials.

The Splash Event Marketing Platform is being used to provide more insights and a better user experience for our events as a company.

Our marketing department is currently using Splash to create concise and creative invites to our corporate events/functions. We are using Splash for all of our events nationwide. Splash has made it easier for our coordinators to have professional looking invites that represent out brand without having to dig too deep into the creative part of building an invite. The direct sync to salesforce saves booth out the lead catcher and coordinators time and the on-site check-in is amazing.

Splash has made out event invite and check-in process completely streamlined. There is consistency within our brand corporate-wide without coordinators needing to be graphic designers. The stock library allows us to create high-quality professional invites/landing pages without the cost of buying rights to images. We currently host at a minimum of 3 events per month, the Salesforce sync saves our lead catcher and coordinators a lot of post-event time. We are currently in the process of creating our ROI dashboard and are looking forward to being able to prove the success of our events with those reports.
