Launch contests to increase ticket sales & collect email addresses

Wish to increase ticket sales and also create a huge mailing list? Start a contest!

discount coupon

Here’s how it works

Ask your site visitors to submit their name & email addresses and then at the end of the contest, select a random submitter who would get a discount code which they can later use to purchase discounted tickets.

How do I set it up

To collect name and email addresses, you can embed Dryfta’s newsletter subscription widget. Get it from under your Subscribers list in Dryfta event platform.

To create discount codes for your tickets, use Discounts manager tool in your Dryfta platform, and share it with the random submitters you have chosen. The winners would use the discount code to purchase the tickets.

Who else does it

Skift Global Forum recently organized a similar contest and has collected a lot of email addresses while also improving their ticket sales!

Sell tickets on your event website using Stripe payment gateway

Less than 5 percent of the people have PayPal account, while more than 95 percent have credit cards. If your event website permits only PayPal, it will mean that most attendees will be unable to pay. In such a case the creation of your event website was pointless. Therefore, a credit card processor is necessary to facilitate all payments and not just PayPal.

We recommend Stripe’s credit card processor because it charges less per transaction fee, is very organizer-friendly, and because we already have an integration built inside Dryfta, for Stripe, just like we have integration for PayPal, Authorize and 2Checkout.

However, Stripe is only available in select few countries right now. So, if you operate out of a Non-Stripe country, here’s our suggestion:

If you or your acquaintance has a bank account and a physical business address in any of the following countries mentioned below, you can open a Stripe account and once activated, you will enter the provided credentials into Dryfta which will allow you to accept Credit Card payments on your Dryfta-powered event website. All your collected payments will be directly transferred to your bank account in that country.

We do not hold your funds

Dryfta is a platform to sell tickets and accept payments directly without any hold whatsoever on your funds.

When using Dryfta to sell your event tickets, your funds go directly to your payment gateway or the merchant account you’re using. All you have to do is sign up for a payment gateway like PayPal or Stripe. Then, add the payment gateway credentials into your Dryfta platform, create the ticket types and registration questions, and you’re good to go!

Whenever a ticket is sold on your event website, the funds go directly to your Stripe or PayPal account or any of the Dryfta-supported payment gateway you’re using. You can then withdraw funds from your merchant account to your bank account anytime you want. The withdrawal process typically takes 2-3 days to transfer your funds to your bank account.

We do not charge a “percentage” on payment transactions except 2 credits per transaction. The cost of 1 credit is 2 USD or less based on the credit pack you choose. That’s it—no other hidden charges.

 

The Pain Points that Dryfta Solves

dryfta-event-platform

 

A common approach to set up an academic or a nonprofit conference is to use an array of tools, e.g., WordPress, Eventbrite, Easychair, and Mailchimp. Then put your staff into multi-tasking mode and try to get your event off the ground.

What would it be like if you could access all of these features from a single platform, all fully integrated, making for a seamless, unified data flow? Dryfta event platform solves this issue of unstructured data flow caused primarily due to using one too many tools by offering a set of fully-integrated tools. Let’s see how Dryfta stacks up with each of these tools regarding features and functionality.

Cart Abandonment Notifications for Incomplete Ticket Purchase

Abandoned cart orders occur pretty frequently on a busy event website. Often, potential customers begin filling out their checkout form, only to leave and never return. Knowing about these users, why did they abandoned the cart and then targeting these abandoned cart orders can boost ticket sales.

Cart abandonment notification tool

This feature lets you send an automated email to ticket and membership buyers who have begun creating an order on your event ticketing website built using Dryfta event platform, but haven’t completed it for whatever reason.

The email will act as an enticement inviting the buyer to come back to the event website to complete their order.

As long as the customer’s email address was entered into the website (either by them logging in or registering on your event website while browsing), the Abandoned Carts Notification feature will be able to send them a message, and also notify the admin.

You can also customize the Abandoned Cart email which is sent to the buyer when he/she abandons the cart. To customize, go to Email Broadcast > Notifications and click on Abandoned Cart Notification Email to edit it.

Here’re some fabulous Abandoned Cart Email templates you can take a cue from. The more enticing and personalized your email will be, the higher would be the sales conversion.
