BRIGHTON FESTIVAL ACHIEVE RECORD ONLINE SALES USING PURECAMPAIGN
An initial email was sent to over 65,000 subscribers using PureCampaign, Pure360’s email marketing software, introducing this year’s festival, followed by five specific bulletins focused on music, theatre, dance, books and outdoor events.
Promotional codes were trialled within the email bulletins; offering consumers discounted tickets online for the first time. Online bookings subsequently increased to 34% and accounted for over a third of all festival bookings.
