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
