To boost ticket sales and create excitement around their tour, Florence + the Machine utilized Bandsintown for Artists tools to host an exclusive RSVP contest.
The band promoted the contest by posting on Bandsintown, driving traffic to their customized Smart Link where fans could RSVP and share their information with band. They also launched a Promoted Email which was embedded with their tour dates. Fans who RSVPd to a show were automatically entered to win two free tickets. Additionally, the band shared their Smart Link directly on social media.
The contest lasted only 24 hours, encouraging fans to act fast.
The Results
The Promoted Email was delivered to 1M+ fans with a 5.3% CTR, driving over 53k clicks. The Bandsintown post prompted an additional 418k opens with an 7.9% CTR driving 33.1k clicks.
