The Tomorrow’s Audience research by Indigo-Ltd in partnership with Spektrix highlighted that 54% of audiences in 2023 were first-time bookers.

So, anyone who has a record in your database but hasn’t made a booking represents a golden opportunity. 

Knowing who exactly they are is a critical first step to targeting the right kinds of communications to this group of people — and ultimately bringing them through your doors for their first show.

Outcomes 

  • Clear indication in your database of which contacts haven't booked tickets yet.
  • Easily use these tags in customer list segmentations and report criteria sets.

 

Ingredients

Metrics: pieces of information about certain items in Spektrix which you can use to filter your data in Criteria Sets. Find them by expanding the Tickets wrapper, then within that expanding the Customers wrapper. 
 
‘Never Booked’ customer metric: will identify any contacts in your database who have never bought a ticket.

Contact preferences: ways of gathering information about your customers and how they would like their personal data (email address, postal address, phone number, etc.) to be used
 
Autotags: ways of labelling your customer records automatically based on specific criteria, e.g. potential duplicate = true

 Cook

 

  1. In a new autotag set-up, create a new customer criteria (individual) of ‘never booked’ by selecting the option and ensuring the box against it is checked.
  2. Include the correct contact preference if you are then going to use this segmentation for communication purposes.
  3. Sync directly with Dotdigital if you would like to use ‘Never Booked’ for dynamic content in your emails, or for an automated Dotdigital program:
    • Go to Settings>Contacts>Contact Data Fields
    • Add a new Yes/No field called 'NEVERBOOKED.'
