This year, we sought to make it even simpler for our 300+ farm clients to drive revenue from their events and make the most of their busiest season. Our partnership with Maize allowed us to offer better prices for farms and release a ton of new features that helped our farm clients sell over a million tickets in October. 

Vala’s Pumpkin Patch and Apple Orchard in Gretna, Nebraska used SimpleTix to sell tens of thousands of tickets this year. Here’s how they took full advantage of the SimpleTix platform.

  • Multiple ticket typesVala’s sold general admission tickets, season passes, and reservations for campfires and party barns. Vala’s created even more ticket options according to the size of campfire or party barn. With SimpleTix’s peak/off-peak feature, Vala’s could disallow off-peak tickets on its most valuable days of operation.

  • Pre-sold concessions and cateringVala’s tied its concessions sales into the ticketing process. Customers could pre-order everything from cider to pie to party platters when they bought their ticket, then use their digital ticket to redeem their concessions once they arrived on the farm. This helped Vala’s anticipate how much to prepare and keep the lines moving because staff didn’t have to handle as much cash.

  • Specialized upsellsVala’s created a specific set of higher-value upsells for parties who reserved the highest tier of bonfire or party barn. When a customer added a high-tier ticket to their cart, they were served this premium upsell list within the SimpleTix purchase process. Once they checked in at Vala’s, the staff could see their pre-ordered upsells and deliver them promptly.

  • Keeping the lines movingWhen tickets are bought in a group, SimpleTix gives Vala’s staff the option to check in everyone on the order with just one ticket scan. This prevented a lot of wallet-wrangling and phone fumbling at the gate.

How SimpleTix Used Surveys & Auto-Scheduling To Streamline A Property Insurance Event

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1480416839073{padding-right: 20px !important;}"][vc_column_text]Pacesetter Claims Service is a trusted property claims service that offers coverage across the U.S. They provide daily insurance claim services, catastrophe services, water damage mitigation, and other insurance adjustment offerings. Pacesetter ultimately provides homeowners and renters with essential insurance services. When Pacesetter chose to launch their 2nd Claims Conference using SimpleTix, we were thrilled to handle the event registration process for them. SimpleTix offered Pacesetter custom features like surveys and auto-scheduling to ensure they would make the most of their property insurance event.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="26758"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vcex_spacing][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] [caption id="attachment_26750" align="alignright" width="288"] Image: Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (Conference Location)[/caption]By integrating Pacesetter's event registration portal with a survey feature, Pacesetter can ask event attendees important questions. More specifically, Pacesetter can now request the workshop/break-out session schedules of attendees. This helps Pacesetter determine the specific tracks that people plan to attend at their event. It also makes it easier for Pacesetter to interact directly with the insurance industry professionals who attend their conference. Pacesetter's event attendees are also able to automatically schedule classes that are "grouped" together. For example, if a conference attendee chooses a "Part 1 class" to attend, that attendee would automatically be scheduled for the corresponding "Part 2" class as well. This auto-scheduling feature prevents people from signing up from too many "part 1" classes. It also prevents people from skipping the corresponding "part 2" classes when those classes are deemed necessary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image="26755" title="Attendee Workshop Selection"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In other words, auto-scheduling makes it easy for conference-goers to receive the full experience of events. Not to mention, it also helps companies like Pacesetter attract many more attendees at their events! And best of all, the custom survey and auto-scheduling features that are available to Pacesetter are also available to companies and individuals across the U.S, Canada, Australia, U.K, New Zealand and elsewhere.
