Award-winning SMS company, FireText, has partnered with international event ticketing giant, Eventbrite, to enable event managers to boost communication pre and post event. By sending timely text messages prior to an event using the FireText platform, organisers will be able to increase attendance and enhance guest experience.
FireText is the only UK SMS platform to join forces with Eventbrite. The company provides a cloud based SMS platform which users can log into on any device to send and manage their messages.
Dan Parker, FireText co-founder, said: “A simple text message can have a big impact to your event attendance and overall experience. More and more businesses are realising the importance of effective communication and events are a great example for us.”
Whether the event is for 10 people or 10,000 organisers often have the same worry of will anyone turn up? With an open rate of 98%, SMS is the perfect way to update your guests on special announcements, confirm details or engage in conversation helping you to boost attendance in the run-up to your event.
Mitch Colleran, partnership manager at Eventbrite, said: “Eventbrite is focused on integrations that enhance the experience for organisers and attendees. That’s why this is a great addition to the Eventbrite platform because it means that organisers can easily reach people at key moments with the information they need.”
Eventbrite is the self-service ticketing company that empowers event organisers to plan, promote and sell out any event. Eventbrite has sold over 115 million tickets in over 179 countries and processed over $1.5 billion in gross ticket sales.
