Ticketing systems collect an abundance of information through eCommerce and box office channels, but with only so many minutes in the working day, it can be challenging to find the time to explore this beyond the basics.

Email marketing is a vital part of the marketing mix for promoters of live events and performances, but this channel of communication is becoming increasingly cluttered. Every day there are at least 205 billion emails sent worldwide, from personal emails to newsletters and more (Radicati Group).

For clients of our accesso ShoWare solution, we have partnered with Emma® to deliver a robust email marketing integration that allows you to easily create, launch and monitor targeted email marketing campaigns directly from your accesso ShoWare account.

According to the New York Times, Americans spend about 37 billion hours a year waiting in line, time that could be better spent elsewhere.

Our accesso Siriusware solution can help you effectively manage your Rentals shop to reduce long lines where they happen the most, resulting in happier guests, more efficient operations, and higher revenue.

Research shows it costs five times more to acquire new customers than it does to retain existing ones. The philosophy behind this is simple: it’s much easier to keep patrons who are already familiar with your venue engaged than it is to start from scratch, finding new customers, making them aware of your venue and performances, and encouraging them to visit. Furthermore, existing patrons are more likely to step into deeper levels of commitment than brand new customers. Watch our webinar to learn more about building loyal patrons with memberships!

From global crowdfunding to micro-lending, there are more ways for your patrons to participate in charitable initiatives than ever before. If you are a theatre or performing arts center whose vitality depends on successful fundraising and development initiatives, you know the importance of making the donation process as easy as possible for your donors, giving them a variety of payment options (mailing a check, dropping off cash, or making a donation online with a credit card) to suit their needs, and communicating with them in their desired format, whether by postal mail, email, phone call, or social media. However, there’s another way to reach your charitable donors at an even more convenient time: when they are purchasing tickets to your shows! Watch our webinar to learn more about driving donations with fund management.

Payment plans are the easy answer, and they can be surprisingly simple and easy to implement. Watch our webinar to learn more!

Katie Reilly introduces us to our accesso ShoWare solution’s new enhanced checkout and how it can help increase conversions in your eCommerce store.

In today’s eCommerce landscape, customers expect a shopping experience that is engaging and easy, whether they are using a mobile device, tablet or computer. If a retailer’s page is complicated to navigate, loads slowly, or requires too many steps to complete an order, customers are more inclined to abandon their cart. A study by CPC Strategy found that over 68% of all online shopping carts were abandoned, costing the retail industry over $18 Billion dollars in lost sales. Watch our webinar to learn more about increasing online conversions with enhanced checkout. 

Many venues still think of ticketing from the onsite purchasing perspective, with the front gate or box office being the first interaction point with a guest. In reality, most guests today will have already visited your venue’s website before they arrive. In fact, you can expect that about half of your guests will be browsing your website from their smartphone looking to learn more about your attraction and ticket offerings. Are you prepared to make a great first impression? Watch our webinar to learn more about navigating eCommerce in today’s mobile landscape!
