- You have lost an unnecessary amount of time: by setting up all the changes and various tools, you have lost an unnecessary amount of time. The time you want to put into your event.

Who sends this?
A correct sender name and e-mail address of the sender are crucial for the trust of the recipient of your communication. If the domain name matches the e-mail address, there is already an initial basis of trust. This is often not the case when using all those different software tools. As a result, it is no longer clear to the visitor that the e-mail comes from you and is about your event. As a result, guests miss important information.

To really make an impact, it is important that communication is of a high level and that the visitor is involved in the event from the very first moment.
