Donation Campaigns

Our ticketing system supports nonprofit organizations by providing them with donation campaigns, created to further the relationship between company and patron. Donation campaigns are stocked full with options, and offer many different ways to encourage customer use. Try using a popup window at checkout, website widgets, or plugins that allow your customers to donate in various different ways. Also make sure your donations keep flowing in by allowing monthly, quarterly, or yearly recurrences. Want to give your patrons more choices when it comes to how they donate? Offer anonymous donations or encourage employers to match their employee's donation. No matter how you decide to collect your donations, VBO Tickets has the resources to help you.

• Customizable donor perks
• Use popups, widgets, or plugins
• Enable options like employer matching
• Set minimum or recommended donation amounts
• Create progress bars to show how far you are from your goal

Promotions & Social Sharing

Word of mouth between your customers can be a powerful marketing tool, so VBO Tickets created social sharing specifically to spread the word about your events! With social sharing, your patrons can share your events on social media to encourage further online discussion and interaction.

Want to continue suggesting events for your patrons to discuss? Promote your shows or attractions by showing them during an online checkout, leading customers to return to your organization again and again. Promotions aren't where our team stopped: we also wanted to take your marketing a step further by giving you the opportunity to offer a one-time discount if patrons commit to adding an additional show at checkout. Customer action is important, so our extensive marketing features were built with your patrons' experience in mind.

• Enable social sharing
• Give discount codes to social media users
• Promote your events at checkout
• Give one-time perks and discounts

Marketing tools

Building trust is important to any patron/business relationship, whether your customers are new or returning. Offer highlights such as auto messages to show that you're focused on communication and positive customer service. Provide reminders to your patrons about the events they're attending or send updates about changes. Most importantly, our team knows a relationship doesn't end after an event is finished. To continue expressing your thanks, utilize our automatic thank you messages to show your appreciation. With these marketing features in your pocket, VBO Tickets doesn't only help you generate revenue from new patrons: we also do everything we can to build and maintain healthy relationships between all companies and their customers.

• Send reminder emails for your events
• Use automatic thank you emails for patrons or donors
