Thinking Outside The Box

1. Dynamic Pricing for Events

Encourage merchants to use your ticketing system for special events, offering dynamic pricing based on demand. For instance, restaurants could sell tickets for a special theme night, allowing them to manage capacity while maximizing revenue.

2. Bundled Offers

Merchants can create bundled deals that combine tickets to events with products or services. For example, a restaurant could offer a dinner package that includes a ticket to a local concert.

3. Loyalty Programs

Use the ticketing platform to create a loyalty program where customers earn points for purchasing tickets. These points could be redeemed for discounts or free items at the merchant’s establishment.

4. Senior Discounts and Special Events

Host special events targeting seniors, offering discounted tickets and promoting them through local community centers. This could include themed dinners, workshops, or entertainment events.

5. Collaborative Promotions

Partner with other local businesses to offer joint promotions. For example, a hotel could package tickets to local attractions with discounted room rates.

6. Seasonal Promotions

Create seasonal ticketing promotions (e.g., holiday events, summer festivals) that allow merchants to sell tickets in advance, smoothing out cash flow during slower periods.

7. Unused Inventory Sales

Encourage restaurants to sell unused inventory (like unsold tables) as tickets for special last-minute dining experiences at a discount.

8. Exclusive Member Events

Offer exclusive ticketed events for members of a loyalty program, providing added value to frequent customers and encouraging repeat business.

9. Online Workshops or Classes

Merchants can use the ticketing platform to sell tickets for online workshops or classes, appealing to a wider audience who might not be able to attend in person.

10. QR Code Promotions

Use QR codes on receipts or promotional materials that link to special ticket offers, encouraging customers to engage with upcoming events or promotions.

11. Feedback and Engagement

Implement a system where customers can provide feedback on events they attended through the ticketing platform, creating a loop of engagement and improvement.
