4 Tips to Help You Sell More Tickets Online To Your Event
Show the man behind the Green Curtain
Create richer personal experiences for your fans by “going beyond the veil” and giving customers a sneak peek into the inner workings of your brand. It builds a story and that creates die-hard fans, increasing lifetime per-customer profits.

“Emotions don’t hinder decisions. They constitute the foundation on which they’re made!” – Douglas Van Praet, founder of “Unconscious Branding”.
Tap into the desire to be happy by promoting the joy of attending your events. Tap into the fear of missing out with “for one night only” verbiage and “sold-out” to open up the opportunity for premium and VIP upsells. Tap into the “helper’s high” with hopeful images and messaging that reminds us of how much good our small donation can really do. Use that emotional appeal to make your advertisements stand out and increase sales. And don’t forget to ask for that share!
Learn moreAttract Quality Partners
What makes a good partner? Look for well-known names in your area (whether it’s industry related or media partners). You want that brand recognition to work for you. Ensure they have the pull necessary to do what you need them to. You need someone who can invest the time, effort, and funds necessary to make your event a success.
Learn moreKnow Your Customer and use the 80/20 Rule
It’s easy to think casting a wider net will bring in more profits. More tickets sales means more dollars, right? Not always. The Pareto principle states that “for many events, roughly 80% of sales come from 20% of customers”.
While it may seem counterproductive to limit the scope of your advertising, by knowing who your audience is and who it isn’t you can tap into that hardcore fan base and actually attract more dedicated fans—which generate a larger percentage of your profits both now and at future events.
