You have the data but no time to use it

You know who bought, when and what type of ticket. But between preparing logistics, coordinating vendors and closing the lineup, who has time to analyze data? The information is there, but leveraging it is another task on your list.

Revenue concentrates in a few weeks

If sales go well, great. If they go regular, the whole year gets complicated. And between editions, cash flow drops. Meanwhile, your community is still there: people who already know you, who trust you, who would buy again if they had something to buy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I really generate revenue with my audience between editions?

Yes. Your community is there 12 months a year, not just during ticket sales. Many events generate revenue with exclusive presales for loyal fans, personalized merchandise, special experiences, or smaller off-season events. The key is keeping the conversation active with your community and offering things they truly care about.

What types of initiatives work best for generating recurring revenue?

Those based on exclusivity and personalization. Early presales for loyal fans (before public announcement), merchandise from each group's favorite artist, limited special experiences, backstage access, smaller events in other cities. What matters isn't the campaign type, but that it's directed at the right group with the right offer at the right time.

How do I start grouping my audience if I've never done it?

Start simple. The most useful basic groups are: people who return each year, people by preferred music genre, best customers by spend, and people who haven't opened your emails in months. With these 4 groups you can already personalize messages. The CRM automatically identifies these patterns and suggests them. You don't need to be a data expert.

Do I need to hire more people to manage this?

Not necessarily. Most events manage it with the team they already have. The system automates much of the work: identifies groups, schedules campaigns, sends at the right time. Your team focuses on strategy: what to offer, when, and creating content. Many events dedicate 2-4 hours per week once everything is set up.

How long does it take to get it running?

The technical part is quick (connecting your ticketing system). What takes time is strategy: deciding which groups to create, which campaigns to launch, testing and adjusting. The fastest events see results in 1-2 weeks with personalized presales. Others prefer to take 1-2 months to plan their full year strategy well. No rush: your audience isn't going anywhere.

What if my audience gets tired of receiving emails?

That's why personalization exists. The problem isn't how many emails you send, it's whether they're relevant. If you send the same generic message to everyone, yes, they'll get tired. But if the techno fan only receives techno offers, if your best customer receives exclusive experiences, and if the basic ticket buyer receives accessible presales, each message adds value. Plus, you can use email, SMS or WhatsApp depending on what works best for each person.
