Sponsors see value using direct messaging – Prior – During – After Events
Here’s how:
Sponsors are provided with access to direct messaging to lock screen and content updates prior to and during the event.
This cannot be oversold: Variety of sponsor messages onto your Event Tickets and other passes any time you like. Link to promotions, share with social media and deliver real value to advertisers and sponsors while delivering a better attendee experience.
After the event:
Sponsors continue to update attendees afterwards with mobile offers. Our pass programs offer you the opportunity to continue messaging attendees for the rest of the year. Easily transition to your next event and generate buzz, excitement and ticket sales from their mobile wallet on their smartphone.
An Event Ticket from a mobile wallet gives event planners the ability to:
- add more sponsor value
- vendor messages after the show
- which is not something that can be done with a physical ticket and email is just that effective.
Bonus mobile strategy when using Event Tickets:
- Start pre-selling events and sponsors well in advance of your next event
These are phenomenal mobile strategies to develop more value for sponsors with mobile updates. Engage with attendees right on their lock screen with an Event Ticket inside a mobile wallet.
