Triggering 30% More in Additional Monthly Revenue
Monday, January 12th, 2009

Here is an awesome case study from our partner ExactTarget on TicketsNow.
TicketsNow has been using ExactTarget’s transactional send engine. This is particularly interesting to us because this is the exact same engine that FanMail uses for our client’s automated interactions.
In a nutshell:
TicketsNow took a hard look at where they were loosing people in the sales pipeline. After a complete evaluation they implemented a re-marketing strategy to automatically reengage people who abandon their shopping carts.
Using dynamic content and automatic triggers, TicketsNow saw an immediate lift of 30% in total company revenue from email contribution.
Also, be sure to check out the section “TicketNow Stands Out from the Crowd”.
“TicketsNow offers the first and only loyalty program in the industry. The InCrowd features tiered member benefits that increase brand loyalty and perks on parallel tracks.”
- Mark Hodes, Senior VP of Customer Marketing for TicketsNow
Sweet. Gotta love a company that loves their customers!

So Many Artists, So Many Emails
Monday, January 12th, 2009

FanMail client SCI Fidelity Records maintains subscriber lists for over 20 artists on their roster. To enhance communications and continuity throughout e-mail sends, SCI Fidelity uses the masking tool within their FanMail Advanced account. Sends are shown as from the particular artist subscribed to. Using this feature, SCI Fidelity Records has been able to enhance the experience of their most important fans. Subscribers feel better connected and embraced by their artists based on features like the reply mask. Another great example of a FanMail client using “best practices” to effectively communicate with their subscriber base and boost fan/artist relationships. Catering to their “Super Fan”.

New Partner – Front Gate Tickets
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

It is my distinct pleasure to announce FanMail’s new partnership with Front Gate Tickets to provide enhanced fan management and direct-to-fan marketing tools to promoters, festivals and artist merchandise stores. Front Gate Tickets is owned by Front Gate Solutions and provides privately and co-branded ticketing and merchandise stores for some of the nation’s top promoters, festivals, venues and artists including C3 Presents, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Slightly Stoopid, The Casbah, The Long Center for the Performing Arts, Higher Ground and Stubbs BBQ. This partnership brings to market new and enhanced fan relationship management (FRM) technology, tools and expertise to help promoters and artists drive sales directly to their fans. Our premise is simple. When promoters are able to get a transparent view of their fan’s needs and see how their direct-to-fan campaigns get massive results, it fundamentally changes the way that they do business. It is better for the fan and better for the promoter. We love that. Thank you Jeff, Mellie and the team! The future is bright. – David
