Find your attendee's ‘ideal identity’

Rather than focusing on what attendees think they need, try to understand who they want to be, and target that person instead. The next step? Position your festival as the ‘gateway’ into their ‘ideal life.’

Go strategic with email marketing

To run a successful email campaign that drives sales, use personalised and direct communication to weave together a narrative that ends with attendees buying tickets.

Partner with influencers

You can ask influencers to promote your event in the weeks leading up to your festival by sharing sponsored posts, creating a ‘stitch’ reacting to your event lineup, or recommending your event to their followers on a ‘top music festivals’ list.
