Overview

One of the easiest ways to show a ticket purchaser that you appreciate them is by simply sending them a thank you message. While it may seem like a no-brainer, many organizations overlook quick and meaningful touchpoints that remind fans that they are more than a transaction. A thank you note is greatly appreciated, but if you want to up the ante, giving an additional incentive can go a long way and make an impact on the overall experience for the fan.

Why it Matters

Other than being a natural step in the process of a transaction, thank you messages are proven to have a higher open rate and add to the positive perception of the organization.

Thank you messages average a 5x open rate vs. other bulk emails, and 38% of customers attribute a good customer experience with personalization.

Getting Started

To thank fans for their purchase, you will need to create an email that communicates your appreciation at the right time. Sending a thank you email days after a purchase misses the mark, so ensuring that the email is prompt is key to being effective. Also, work with your team to create a memorable and reusable thank you template for an easy set-it-and-forget-it experience. Once the email is designed and ready, read the instructions below to build your thank you email in FanThreeSixty.
