We're excited to share another week of news & ideas with our MAiZE family. There never seems to be a shortage of ideas and the truth is that some of the best originate with all of you! So, if you ever have an idea you'd like us to pass along to the group, please just send it our way. Also, please remember that we'll be archiving these ideas on the siteowner web site, so that you can go back and view them whenever you like.
New Partnership with TicketLeap Offers All-In-One Solution for Online Ticketing, Reservations, POS
For those who've been patiently waiting for us to unveil the new partnership we've created with an online ticketing/ reservations/POS provider, the wait is over!
 
We are excited to announce a new partnership between The MAiZE & TicketLeap, offering you special pricing on what we've researched to be the best all-in-one solution available. To celebrate the partnership, one of the pricing options includes a free iPAD the first year!

We have chosen to recommend TicketLeap because their product is a full circle solution that addresses the four major pieces of your event puzzle.   

1. Point of sale/ cash register "POS"
2. Online ticketing
3. Online reservations
4. Ticket scanning/validation


With TicketLeap you can effectively address all four needs under one solution, keeping your reporting, sales, training etc together. During our research we found several solutions that were really good at one thing, but completely lacked another... this is where TicketLeap shines! With one app you can validate a ticket, swipe a credit card, accept cash, book a reservation and more!

Last year at Cornbelly's we used Square and really enjoyed it. If you have no need for online ticketing or reservations, we found it to be a great tool for accepting credit cards tied in with an easy-to-use POS system. But, because we do offer online ticketing & reservations, we found it silly to have all our online sales and our gate sales separate.  It became a pain to switch from app to app validating and making sales... and our real headache came when we tried to combined reports at the end of the year.  This frustration inspired us to search for a more "full circle" solution.

Few companies are offering what TicketLeap is currently offering, but that is not entirely why we chose them.  Their willingness to work with us in the Agritourism world and the very aggressive price they have provided are key to this partnership.

We look forward to growing this TicketLeap partnership, but more importantly we are extremely excited to see this technology help MAiZE family members around the world.
