All of the funds raised help support AspenOUT’s free mental health counseling, college scholarships, and grants to nonprofit organizations in the LGBTQ+ community.

AGSW has been using our ecommerce solution for the past 4 years and has recently adopted Plačila Lightspeed as their payment provider for ticket sales.

3,750+ participants annually come to Aspen to celebrate, make connections, and ski. The organization also partners with local retailers and restaurant owners who help support the community, Lightspeed being one of them.

Let’s look at how AGSW uses Ecwid’s shopping cart to sell tickets in order to maximize funds for their nonprofit and grow their fundraising efforts.

Challenge: Maximizing Funds as a Nonprofit

Lukas, the marketing and events coordinator for AGSW, emphasized the importance of optimizing revenue in the nonprofit sector. He explained, “In a nonprofit world, it’s important to maximize donations, operate on a small budget, and give the most back.

Brezhibna integracija z WordPressom

Nakupovalni voziček brez nepotrebnih stroškov

>18%
prihranek na vstopnico pri pristojbinah za storitve

Pred Ecwidom, AGSW je za prodajo vstopnic za svoj letni dogodek uporabil tradicionalno platformo za prodajo vstopnic tretje osebe. Toda na prodajo vstopnic so jim zaračunali precejšen znesek. To jim ni pustilo veliko dobička v zameno za njihov sklad.

Vodstvo se je nato odločilo, da je čas za prehod na spletni nakupovalni voziček, in takrat so prešli na nakupovalni voziček Ecwid by Lightspeed, ki ne zaračunava nobenih dodatnih stroškov na prodajo.

Druga uporabna orodja, ki jim AGSW koristi in jih priporoča

E-poštna sporočila za obnovitev zapuščenega vozička: Ko nekdo pusti predmete v svojih vozičkih, zaide na stranski tir, ali pade v ločeno zanko, ASGW pošilja e-poštna sporočila za obnovitev zapuščene košarice. Sending potential customers email reminders helps encourage that final purchase.

Polja za blagajno po meri: Pri ponudbi oblačil s prodajo vstopnic, AGSW uporablja blagajniška polja po meri zahtevati velikost stranke in olajšati postopek.

Donacije: Na blagajni, prosi neprofitna organizacija donacije. Stranka lahko izbere znesek, ki ga želi donirati. This helps collect extra money for the fundraiser.

Sledenje zalog v realnem času: Ecwid sledi inventarju vseh vstopnic in sponzoriranih vstopnic, in AGSW jih lahko označi kot razprodane (polovica njihovih vstopnic za 2024 dogodek je trenutno razprodan!)

Funkcije, ki jih Ecwid nenehno dodaja, so odlične; vsako leto, platforma postaja vedno boljša. Lukas Volk

Ecommerce that has your back

So simple to use – even my most technophobic clients can manage. Easy to install, quick to set up. Light years ahead of other shop plugins.
I’m so impressed I’ve recommended it to my website clients and am now using it for my own store along with four others for which I webmaster. Beautiful coding, excellent top-notch support, great documentation, fantastic how-to videos. Thank you so much Ecwid, you rock!
I’ve used Ecwid and I love the platform itself. Everything is so simplified it’s insane. I love how you have different options to choose shipping carriers, to be able to put in so many different variants. It’s a pretty open e-commerce gateway.
Easy to use, cenovno dostopne (and a free option if starting off). Looks professional, many templates to select from. The App is my favorite feature as I can manage my store right from my phone. Highly recommended 👌👍
I like that Ecwid was easy to start and to use. Even for a person like me, without any technical background. Very well written help articles. And the support team is the best for my opinion.
For everything it has to offer, ECWID is incredibly easy to set up. Highly recommend! I did a lot of research and tried about 3 other competitors. Just try ECWID and you'll be online in no time.
