Marketing

Reach your audience by email, WhatsApp and SMS

byTicks has event marketing built in: design your emails, send campaigns to buyers and interest lists, message sign-ups on WhatsApp and SMS, and see who opened and clicked.

Email

Email campaigns that look like your event

Drag blocks into your email and click any text to change it. Merge tags fill in the event and the first name. You preview it with real event data, on desktop and phone.

  • Event blocks such as Hero, Line-up, Countdown and Ticket CTA
  • byTicks templates for announcements, sales, reminders and after the event
  • AI draft writes a first version, Improve text with AI rewrites a paragraph
  • Send a test to your own inbox, then send now or schedule

WhatsApp

WhatsApp for the moment sales open

Message the people on your interest list who ticked the WhatsApp box on your sign-up form. You choose an approved template and see its image, text, footer and buttons before you send.

  • byTicks switches on WhatsApp for your shop and helps with your templates
  • Send now, or schedule it in the event's time zone
  • Send again with the same label and nobody gets it twice
  • A reply with STOP MARKETING ends the marketing messages to that number

SMS

A text message when it counts

Write your own short text for the same sign-ups. A counter shows characters and segments as you type, and the screen names any special character that takes up extra space.

  • Uses the same permission as WhatsApp, so there is nothing extra to collect
  • Schedule it and the list is made at the moment of sending
  • New sign-ups still get it, people who opted out do not
  • You confirm by typing the number of recipients, so nothing goes out by accident

Audiences

You choose who gets it

An email goes to Ticket buyers, your Interest list, Buyers + interest list or All contacts. You see the number of recipients before you send.

  • New buyers and sign-ups join your contacts by themselves
  • Include guest-list and free-ticket contacts with one tick
  • People who unsubscribed or bounced are skipped by every campaign

Results

See what every campaign did

Each campaign has its own page with deliveries, opens, clicks and unsubscribes. Insights shows your recent campaigns side by side, and Overview your last 30 days, including revenue from email.

  • Opens and clicks are counted once per person
  • See your contact list grow over the last 90 days
