- Owner: Laura There are lots of other ways to drive marketing too and the key is to have every touch tie back to your registration page.

- Owner:RituThis an example of well coordinated social media strategy:Eventbrite ticketing page with social media tools turned onFacebook Event Page where people can talk about the event, and includes Eventbrite for Pages
- Owner: LauraKnow your Audience.- Gather information on your attendees - Geography - Demographics - Survey Questions- Access all data through our real time reports- View charts, graphs and heat maps for visual representation of ticket sales data - Page views - Overall ticket sales - Sales by ticket type- Track which buyers are buying through which channelsOne thing every organizer wants to know is who is their audience? Eventbrite empowers event organizers with visibility and control over your guest list with graphical dashboards to track sales and attendees. Some of the capabilities are:Capturing demographic information (city-level)Creating custom survey questions – how did you hear about this event? Capture email or any other data?Segmenting buyers based on ticket type (VIP, GA, Early Bird, etc.) – Send custom messages to different ticket buyersMembership Great way to gain insight on your attendeesThink about the long tail approach of your organizationWhat Data can I collect at my event to make this organization be more effective, responsive, and smarterMost organizations will choose the path of least resistance and then wish they were able to have collected certain information after the fact.Is Your Event Free?Ask for a donation!

- Owner: LauraClearly we have a thing about babies…ha! But in truth, I thought this was just another great example of a customer Event Page. And in this screenshot you can see what happens when someone shares their excitement about your event – before and after the purchase.In 2011 we completed a study where we actually measured the value of 1 share in Facebook, and what we found is that when the event is associated with fundraising, its quite impressive:1 “Share” equals $11 in future donations. In other words, on average, for all the people who like, comment and share out their excitement about this event – they are bringing new people into the fold and those people are buying tickets!Source: Eventbrite Social Commerce Report: http://blog.eventbrite.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-shot-2011-03-16-at-10.02.57-AM.png

- Owner:RituTwitter is also a great tool in addition to Facebook and it doesn’t take a lot of time.- Create an account – if you don’t already have one. It’s easy and fast- Twitter allow you to search and catalogs your event- The hash tag unifies tweets from multiple people on the same subjectIn this example, we have a fundraiser who has created the hashtag #prouty and uses Twitter as a way to not only get people excited and committed to attending her fundraising event, but also to keep all her friends engaged from the beginning of her fundraising journey all the way to her experience crossing the finish line – both on the ride and in crushing her fundraising goals.
