About the award winning Take That campaign…
The email marketing campaign was based on the key understanding of the emotional state around a 'fear of missing out' that consumers experience when large events go on sale. Using this insight, the Business Intelligence and Analytics team developed a creative programme that took customers on an email journey from pre-event awareness, to expectation of the on-sale and then purchase at the earliest date as they knew tickets would sell fast and be scarce.
This was followed up with 'in the know' messaging showing tickets were still available, alongside reassurance and information messages as the event approached.
Email is the most effective way of communicating new event launches but the team took this to a new level, creating a co-ordinated journey of 15 emails from The Ticket Factory and Arena Birmingham brands sent out through the Communicator platform, maximising exposure and establishing record breaking levels of engagement. The results showed an unprecedented total open rate of 51% and click-through rate of 35.4%! A record 26,064 tickets were sold on the first day and 56,173 tickets in total!
