realbuzz charity reviews

"We are seeing an overwhelming demand for places, particularly in international events. Recent insight and sector surveys have shown that participants are willing to spend more and travel further in order to take part in events. So, we have started to purchase places upfront in events where we know there is a demand. This is particularly true for the Abbott World Majors, as our runners can't get enough of this right now. This is why we work with realbuzz in a hybrid way as they offer us the best of both worlds."

"

We have been scaling up our portfolio of events with realbuzz over the last couple of years, allowing us to internationalise our offering to supporters, without lots of administration. This has allowed us to more easily stay at the forefront of the boom in the running market and stay operationally efficient in this space, especially given the impact of cost-of-living on the peer-to-peer fundraising market.
