I have tried on various occasions to get bookings by buying leads. Sometimes, I have bought $100 worth of leads and other times $50 and other times $25. The latest was $50 I spent just the other day. I wrote about 30 people telling of my services and my rate and I was being economical on my rate too. Nothing...not one person writing me back interested. I just get a response saying they read my message...not even a "thank you we are working on our event plans" or anything. I think this site is a SCAM of some sort. Karen Campbell
Been with Eventective since 2013 and we have never booked any client that we purchased a lead for. Eventective has issued us many credits because of the leads being fake, scams or they end up being a lead where the individual had already booked with someone else and by time we got the information it was months late. We have not received any response from any lead that we have contacted. I haven't seen any other vendor post that they have had any success with Eventective. I'm honestly not sure how they are still in business. Eventective is an ENTIRE SCAM!
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. Eventective is committed to providing quality leads and continuously working to ensure more valuable opportunities for all event businesses.
While we feature a variety of vendors on our platform, the majority of our site visitors are looking for venues. We understand how frustrating it can be to receive a lead that doesn’t result in business. We’ve taken steps to address these issues like making it clearer for people planning events to identify which event service providers, if any, they would like to be contacted by.
We’re happy to refund any leads that didn’t work out for your business. Please email cs@eventective.com so we can assist further.
I am fairly new to it. I have paid to bid on several jobs on it for my DJ service only to get absolutely no response from anyone. Not one single question. I even asked them questions in order to give them a fair price. So as of now, BEWARE.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear Eventective hasn’t met your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be not to receive a response after reaching out to leads.
We would be happy to discuss strategies that can improve your engagement and increase your chances of getting responses. We’re also happy to refund any leads that didn’t work out for your business. Please email cs@eventective.com so we can assist further.
If you are looking for an amazing venue to host anything Pavilion Grille is the place. The service, food and atmosphere are incredible. I recently did a surprise party for my husband there, simply beautiful. Liz and Cookie were great from day one! Thank you Pavilion Grille for such an awesome experience!
Thank you for the great feedback, Lissa! We're so glad to hear you had a wonderful experience at Pavilion Grille.
I have booked only 1 in 7 years. So needless to say all the money I poured into buying leads paid me only once. Don't waste your money. 99% of the leads do not respond. Therefore subject themselves to suspicious root sources.

They use names found on Facebook and type up fake requests. I purchased a lead called the number and the person told me that they didn't request any services and they didn't have a clue how their information got posted on the website. They are taking people's money.

Hi Harold! Thank you so much for the great feedback. We're happy to hear you've been enjoying the platform and working with our team. Cheers to your continued success!
I am an owner of catering hall they contacted me with general questions took photos off my social media and post the venue to customers. They send an email saying a customer is interested but I have to go through them to contact the customer and I would have to pay. If I don't I can't contact the customer directly and it appears that the hall did not respond! SCAM
Thank you for the feedback. To clarify how Eventective works, there are two sources of event inquiries: Referrals and Leads. Referrals are direct event requests from prospects interested in your business, and they are always free.
Leads are from prospects planning events in your area who want to hear from businesses like yours. Since leads may not be familiar with your business, it’s important to make your offerings stand out – after all, they may have already been contacted by other event professionals. We provide tools like message templates and lead filters to make this process as simple as possible.
We’re always happy to support you and offer ways to improve your experience – including refunding any leads that didn’t work out for your business. Please feel free to reach out to cs@eventective.com to resolve your concerns.
Doesn't seem legit, a lot of the requests you would pay for have very little info, or have information that seems incorrect like buy a lead where they say they are looking for a caterer or all this other stuff unrelated to what you are looking for leads to.

We just found this sight and submitted what we were searching for.
We had a response within 30 mins of a venue that we will use for 1 of our 18 events in 2024.
After the event I will post a review of that venue.
We will continue to use this site.
Hi Kelly, thank you for your wonderful review - we appreciate it! We're so happy to hear you found a venue for your event, and we hope Eventective was a helpful resource for your other events throughout the year.

We're sorry to hear about your frustration and want to assure you that Eventective is committed to improving the experience for all our clients. Over the years, the competition for leads has increased, and we’re continuously working on ways to help businesses like yours succeed.
We want to clarify that we are not here to simply take money. Eventective offers many free features that event businesses can use indefinitely, such as the ability to showcase your business on our highly trafficked site, receive direct referrals, send event contracts, and process payments. Paid features, like leads, are optional and intended to give businesses an extra opportunity to connect with people planning events. Unlike our competition, we allow you to end your Subscription anytime and refund leads that don’t work out for your business.
We’re happy to work with you to better understand what happened with your balance and to offer suggestions on how to improve your experience. Please feel free to reach out to cs@eventective.com to discuss this more.
Over a year paying for promoting my venue in Yonkers NY and hadn't been able to book no one from leads coming from this site. Don't waste your money. BIG SCAM.

While competition for leads can be difficult, we’ve recently rolled out new features designed to help venues close more business, including tools to manage contracts and process payments directly through Eventective.
