9 Navratri Tips | Zoho Forms

Hello form builders!

Navratri is almost here! It is a time for celebration and culture in the Indian community, and organizing such a grand event can be overwhelming. But with the right tools, you can streamline the process and focus on creating unforgettable memories. Let's look at how Zoho Forms can be one such tool for your Navratri celebrations.


1. Event registrations: A seamless experience  

Creating a buzz around your Navaratri events starts with easy registration. Zoho Forms allows you to design customized forms to collect attendee details, including names, contact information, age, and preferences for Garba nights, Dandiya Raas, or cultural programs. You can even integrate payment options into the form for a smooth transaction process.



2. Volunteer sign-ups: Building a dedicated team  

Volunteers are the backbone of any successful event. Use Zoho Forms to create a volunteer sign-up form. Collect information about each person's availability, skills, and preferred tasks. This helps organizers efficiently managing volunteer teams and assign roles appropriately.



3. Donations and sponsorships: Supporting the cause  

Zoho Forms can help you raise funds for your Navaratri events. Create donation forms with multiple payment options integrated through payment gateways like Paytm, Razorpay, Instamojo, and more. For sponsorships, design forms to collect details from potential sponsors and their preferred sponsorship levels.




4. Vendor registrations: Managing your marketplace  

If you are planning food stalls, handicraft shops, or other merchandise sales, use Zoho Forms to manage vendor registrations. Collect information about their products, pricing, and space requirements. This helps in creating a diverse and organized marketplace for your attendees.

5. Cultural contest entries: Showcasing talent  

Encourage participation in cultural performances or contests by creating easy-to-use entry forms. Collect participant details, chosen category (singing, dancing, traditional dress, etc.), and any required media files. This simplifies the evaluation process and ensures a fair competition.

6. RSVPs for Pooja and Aarti: Efficient crowd management  

Manage attendance for special Pooja and Aarti ceremonies with RSVP forms. Knowing the expected number of attendees helps in proper crowd management and ensuring a peaceful spiritual experience for everyone.




7. Travel arrangements: assisting out-of-town guests  

For attendees traveling from other cities, create forms to collect their travel and accommodation preferences. This information can be used to provide recommendations or arrange group bookings to making their trip comfortable and convenient.

8. Kiosk mode for on-site registrations: Streamlined check-ins  

Optimize on-site registrations and check-ins with Zoho Forms' mobile app in kiosk mode. This allows for quick and efficient attendee processing, even without a stable internet connection.

9. Suggestions for the future  

Attendee reviews and feedback are crucial sources of ideas for enhancing future events. Create a review form to gather opinions about various aspects of your Navaratri celebrations. Analyze the responses to identify areas for improvement and implement changes accordingly.

Hope these tips help make your Navratri celebrations a success!

Cheers!
