July Race Director Newsletter

Next Generation Race Creation Wizard

One of the reasons people love RunSignUp has been our simple Wizard. It allows race directors to get started quickly and simply. Many races can be posted just by going thru a few quick and easy steps!

But time marches on! Mobile devices are used by an increasing number of race directors to create and update their races. We had gotten a lot of great ideas from users about how we could make the process even easier. And we had some creative ideas ourselves to make things even more powerful and fast.

The new Wizard delivers on all of that and more. If you have never used RunSignUp, give it a try. Make sure you check out our How To section to see videos, written instructions, and a manual on how to use the new wizard!

Coupon Management

Many races are using coupons to help promote their races. They create custom coupons for events (like July 4th!), or use “Daily Deal” sites like GroupOn and Living Social, or target local running stores and clubs with special coupons.  Once you get over a few coupons it starts to become difficult to manage them and understand how many were used and what the real costs and payback are.

We have introduced industry leading Coupon Management to help races with the following features:

• Reports
• Tags
• Coupon Across Multiple Races
• ROI Reports
• Multi-Coupon Edit
