Event ticketing companies · Digital marketing

Spend where an organiser or a ticket buyer is ready to act, and measure each separately.

Digital marketing for a ticketing company joins search, ads, social and messaging across two audiences with different goals. GullySales sets the plan, the tracking and the order of work so spend goes to organiser acquisition before attendee reach.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For event ticketing companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Attendee ads without events waste money”

    Advertising a city page that lists few shows sends buyers to disappointment. Organiser acquisition has to come first in a new city, then attendee reach once there is something to buy.

  • “Organiser keywords are fewer and sharper”

    Terms such as ticketing platform for college fest or register runners online are searched by people with an event to sell. These are better targets than broad words like events, and the landing page should match.

  • “Retargeting suits the abandoned checkout”

    A buyer who reached payment and left is a visitor worth a reminder. Showing a reminder for that event, within the platform's current rules, speaks to a person who already wanted the ticket.

  • “Two funnels need two reports”

    Mixing organiser sign-ups with ticket sales in one number hides what is working. Keep organiser contact to listing in one view and visit to ticket in another.

What we do

What we deliver for event ticketing companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Channel plan for both audiences

    A written plan setting which channels serve organisers and which serve attendees, and in what order.

    Result: The plan names the audience, channel and page for each activity.

  2. Organiser search ad groups

    Ad groups by event type, each pointing to a matching organiser page.

    Result: Each ad group lands on a page for that event type.

  3. Attendee campaigns by city and event type

    Campaigns tied to live listings, paused when the supply is thin.

    Result: Campaign targets follow what is actually on sale.

  4. Tracking set-up

    Events and sources recorded for organiser enquiries, listings, checkout steps and purchases.

    Result: You can see source and device against each step.

  5. Two-funnel reporting view

    A sheet that shows the organiser funnel and the attendee funnel side by side.

    Result: The team sees both funnels without mixing them.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches your buyers type

Searches that bring organisers and attendees, and the page or action behind each.

sell tickets online for my event

events this weekend in Bengaluru
A city and day page reached by attendee ads, ordered by date with a working checkout.
abandoned checkout reminder
A retargeting message to those who started payment, showing the same event and a clear way back to the page.

Who it is for

This is written for these event ticketing companies.

  • Concert and music festival ticketing platforms
  • Comedy, theatre and live performance ticketing
  • College fest and campus event ticketing
  • Sports league and marathon registration platforms
  • Workshop, seminar and conference registration ticketing
  • Exhibition and trade show entry ticketing
  • Religious and cultural event pass providers
  • White-label ticketing providers for venues and clubs

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have few events live right now, so attendee ads would send buyers to thin pages.
  • Tracking is not set up on the checkout, so spend could not be tied to a ticket sale.
  • You have no one to answer organiser forms, so organiser ads would pay for enquiries that go unanswered.

How it works

How the digital marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Agree the one aim

    We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.

  2. 2

    Check what is ready

    We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.

  3. 3

    Write the idea and the message sheet

    We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.

  4. 4

    Brief every channel from the same sheet

    Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.

  5. 5

    Run on the shared calendar

    Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.

  6. 6

    Measure as one campaign

    Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we start with Google ads or Instagram?
Start where your buyer is looking. Organisers searching for a platform respond to search ads. Attendees discover events on Instagram. The plan decides by audience, not by channel preference.
How do we know digital spend is working?
By tracking organisers who enquire and list, and tickets sold from each source, set against your own baseline. We do not promise results. The figures come from your records.
Should organiser ads and attendee ads share one budget?
Keep them apart. An organiser enquiry is a rare, high-value contact, while a buyer click is common and low value. Separate budgets and reports show which side is working, and they stop one side drawing the money from the other.
Can we advertise an event the organiser has not confirmed?
No. List an ad only after the organiser confirms the date, venue and price in writing. An ad for a show that is later moved brings refund queries and damages the organiser's trust in you. Check the platform's current rules on event ads.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
