Blue Ribbon Online Entries

Blue Ribbon Online combines the power of the Blue Ribbon Fair Management System with the accessibility to bring online entries to your exhibitors. Blue Ribbon Fair Online is fast and easy, no special web experience is necessary to get started.

No-Nonsense Blue Ribbon Online Entries Costs
Blue Ribbon Online lets you get started affordably.  Blue Ribbon Online bottom line costs to your fair are usually less than the competition.  Just a simple yearly support charge of $99.00 and *$2.00 convenience fee per online exhibitor no matter how many entries they may have or how many times they may go online to add entries. *The fair can elect to have the convenience fee charged to the exhibitor or the fair can pay the convenience fee without charging it to the exhibitor. If the convenience fee is charged to the exhibitor the rate is a flat $2.00 per online account. If the fair pays the convenience fee without charging it to the exhibitor the rate is based on a sliding scale with $2.00 per online account being the maximum convenience fee charge and the minimum being $1.00 per exhibitor. The more exhibitors that enter online, the lower the per exhibitor account convenience fee rate the fair pays.

That's it, no hidden costs.  Our costs are all upfront.  We don't take a percentage of the shopping cart. We don't charge double or triple for our software support, and then deduct online fees from it to give the illusion of a "no cost to the fair" program. We all know that there is no such thing as free.

Take Entries 24x7
The Online Entries site is open to take entries 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Exhibitors will visit the Fair's website at their convenience where they will find a link to the Fair's Blue Ribbon Fair Online Entries Site. The exhibitor will create an account and make their entry selections; they can return to their online account another day to complete their entries or after completing entries on one day can return another day to select more entries. The fair has the ability to define differententry deadlines for different types of entries.

Service and Support From The Name You Trust
Blue Ribbon Fair Online is created by the same people who bring you the Blue Ribbon Fair Management System.  Our service and support is the most respected in the industry.  Both your Fair Management and Online questions can be answered by the same person, so there is no runaround when you need technical assistance.

Sell Tickets and Passes Online
Not only will Blue ribbon Fair Online take entries.  It also lets you sell admission tickets, gate passes, parking passes, and even general admission grandstand entertainment tickets. Exhibitors will love the convenience of one stop shopping, and providing these value added items to them to them will increase your bottom line.

PCI Compliance
The Blue Ribbon Online Entries system is PCI Compliant.  If you would like information regarding Blue Ribbon Online Entries PCI compliance please feel free to send an email requesting the information.

Reduce Entry Errors and Increase Staff Productivity
Taking entries online relieves your staff from a large data entry burden.  Processing hand written entry forms takes time and resources that are increasingly scarce.  Promoting your online entry site will reduce staff workload and data entry errors. The online system automatically validates entries as they are made, so the data in the Fair Management System is more accurate and complete.

Credit Card Processing Capabilities
The fair does have the option to accept credit card payments thru the Blue Ribbon Fair Online Entries site. The requirement is that the fair obtain a merchant account associated with one of the payment gateways supported by the online entries site. Ask for details.  If the fair does not need to or want to accept credit card payments online, there is a "no credit card processing" option available. If the fair charges fees to the exhibitor and chooses the "no credit card processing" option, then the fair will arrange to receive payment from the exhibitor outside of the online entries site.
