There is a persona for each subscriber audience segment who exemplifies the unique POV of target audience groups. This persona tweets, facebook posts, email messages. Even on-site avatars/caricatures Makes recommendations, blogs, tweets Speaks one to like-groups not one-to-all
Shopping Cart Abandonment Entirely dependent on if we can modify your showare software or host it locally Registration of an account has to be separated from checkout. Then must be integrated on site Wizard Concept must be created for check out. Must create a basic profile to pick seats with an email address. Fastest Way to Grow List! Checkout completes the profile then does checkout thru a fun multi-step wizard eMail capture and tracking is captured real-time
Tactics to Enrich the List • $2.00 off every ticket for completing surveys • Surveys! Follow-up Surveys after purchase and after show. Use branded SurveyMonkey platform or custom adapted for long-term use • Data captured in surveys added back into email profiles • eMail blasts with free tickets or major discounts for people who like us on facebook • Contests on the site for profiles, likes, emails, surveys, recommendations
FIRST STEP :: To-Do’s • Talk to Showare Tech Support • Can we modify check-out HTML – add calls to our system to capture emails and activity • Can we modify checkout and page ASP scripting? • Can we insert tracking scripts to track each page that is being monitored? • On profile create, can the account creation be separated from the actual checkout • How to dynamically submit/track/redeem checkout coupon codes • Decide on email Marketing Platform and Approach – ET, Listrak, Custom, ASP
Website Changes :: To-Dos Do we have access and ownership of source code developed by Scheffy? Where is it hosted? Where does that partnership stand? Create AMT “Your Way” – Promote and steer site visits to “Select their preferred experience” Need to filter shows entered into current CMS Brand this as your personal agent or AMT concierge Create personas for each segment that are used on the site and offer customized suggestions and reviews Consider video! Clips of shows, prior shows, talking head videos on-site, in persona Encourage email Friend Recommendations to create connections. Integrate with popular address books Integrate Live Chat and require email addresses RSS Feed of Show Schedules and details for syndication/sharing
