Driving ticketing success: the power of online marketing
In the world of live events, from music concerts to sports matches, online marketing is essential to successful ticket sales. At Social Roots, we have proven our expertise this year with successful campaigns for major events such as Formula 1 (Dutch Grand Prix), Vrienden van 015 and Wibi Soerjadi's Christmas concert at the Concertgebouw.
 

The psychology behind choice

The decision to buy a ticket is not always impulsive. It is a process that often begins with initial awareness and ends with a purchase. We use the See-Think-Do principle here: first introduce the event, get potential visitors thinking and ultimately encourage them to buy.

Strategies for success

  1. Multichannel approach: We use a wide range of channels – from social media to Google Ads – to reach and engage your target audience.
  2. Personalised content: With tailored, creative content, we spark interest and keep the event top of mind.
  3. Data analysis and optimisation: We continually analyse and optimise our campaigns to ensure the best results.
  4. Retargeting: We use retargeting techniques to reach and persuade those who have already shown an interest.

Focus on Return on Ad Spend (ROAS):

A key aspect of our campaigns is the focus on a positive Return on Ad Spend. We aim for maximum efficiency in our advertising spend, achieving a ROAS of up to 20 times in some cases.

Conclusion

Effective online marketing in the ticketing sector goes beyond simply selling tickets; it is the art of creating an immersive experience that starts with the first advert and continues beyond the event. At Social Roots, we combine strategic insights with creative execution to make every event a success.

We build the technology others rely on.
