What are automations?

Automation is the use of technology and software to automate a marketing task. Simply put, it can be an SMS or email campaign that is sent automatically based on predefined settings. Automations save you time by reducing recurring and time-consuming tasks.

However, automations are more than just efficient. They are also fantastic for spreading information, increasing sales, and building stronger customer relationships. In the event and hotel industry, automations are especially valuable. The window from when a customer buys a ticket or makes a booking until the experience occurs, offers several opportunities to communicate with the customer. You can provide tips on fun activities a few weeks before, talk about add-ons that will make the visit extra memorable, and provide important information before the visit. Or why not send out a customer survey after the event or stay?

Six reasons

Let automations become your new best friend

Information

Automations + information = true! Send important information before the visit, event or hotel night so that the customer feels as prepared as possible. At the same time, you let the pressure on your customer service decrease.

Upsell

Tell the visitor about various options – such as a massage, a signed fan shirt or bubbles on arrival – for extra luxury and a strengthened customer experience. In addition, your sales figures rise.

Customer satisfaction

If you provide the customer with important information and show availability, you give the customer the conditions to fully enjoy the visit. This in turn results in higher customer satisfaction and better service.

Relevant communication

With MarketHype, you can filter among your customers and create automations that are relevant to specific recipients. Maybe one automation should be sent to all your guests but the other should go to those who haven't bought any extras yet?

Cost effective

When the communication is relevant, the opportunities for additional sales are many and you save a lot of time, the marketing can only be cost-effective.

Channel simultaneous visibility

When creating and distributing your automations, be sure to plan for simultaneous channel visibility at the same time. You need to be present in several channels and tap the customer several times for the customer to continue being or becoming a customer.

Personal mailings

Automations + personalization = true!

Automations are anything but cold and impersonal. You can even make them truly personal!

Our tools offer a variety of features for segmentation and personalization. You'll find merge tags that pull in information like recipient names, event start times, and order numbers. You'll find filters that automatically reach different recipients based on their purchase history. And last but not least, you'll find functionality for customized mailings, where you can send different parts of the mailing to different audiences based on purpose, event, and recipient. Smart – and truly personal!

Channel selection

Email or SMS? Choose both!

What do you want to say in your automated messages? What do you want to achieve? And how important is your message?

SMS is a fast channel with a high open rate among recipients. This channel is ideal for short information, limited-time offers, and other quick communication. Email is also a great channel, suitable for automations with more design, longer texts, and more links.

Which channel will be your favorite? No matter your answer, you can see all your automations in one view. It couldn't be more transparent!
