Our short story..

GoRegista started its life in a Year 7 classroom in April 2013 where a group of 25 students were playing with their smart phones, totally disinterested in the briefing they were being given about upcoming events. The teacher, out of frustration said to the kids, “can everyone please get out their phones…” The silence and impact was immediate. The students were suddenly attentive.  Waiting for the next sentence the teacher would say…

It was immediately obvious to the teacher, the short attention span of kids. Some would say everyone when it comes to advertising! Give them the information.  Phones at ready, and let them then and there, sign up. Not for the event going on, but for more information about it to be given to them, so they can read it later when they are not distracted.

Did it work? Sort of… The teacher got the interested students to put the information into their calendar for each event coming up. Very clumsy, but those interested at least had something to remind them that were interested in something. Probably the best outcome possible.

But from this GoRegista started. Small at the start, but a year later, GoRegista can be used to immediately regista interest in something going on, anything. Type in the tag word, click, done! Information on the event sent emailed out. It now works using geo-fencing to target only the people who need the information. A 500m audience around the school means only students in the school can see and respond to the listing. Your community group may have its member scattered over wider distance, fine select ANY radius you want. You can even circle the whole country and dare we say the world.

This is our company’s goal. To help community groups, schools, clubs  and charities get their message out there for free. The service also caters now for businesses now although a small charge is made in this case. So come on board.. GoRegista now and create your own event, listing, interest, survey.. whatever.

Oh.. and the teacher? You can contact him at the address below..
