Did You Know: Easy-to-Manage Presales

Did you know you can offer presale tickets to select customers with ShowClix’s custom coupon codes?

Presales are a great way to drum up buzz about your event ahead of time, giving select customers the chance to buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public. Not only does instituting a presale offer you an opportunity to reward these early birds with discounted tickets and other perks, it also helps you gain an early estimate of attendee interest so you can hire proper security, prepare enough merchandise, and more. With ShowClix, implementing presales has never been easier, as you can create and distribute them straight from the Admin.

After you create an event, go to the Manage tab in the Admin. Select “Create Coupon” and then choose “Presale” from the Coupon Type dropdown menu. You’ll then be prompted to create a unique coupon name and code, like “EARLYBIRD10,” which you will eventually distribute to your selected customers. If you have multiple events, you can choose to assign the presale code globally across all of them, or you can apply it to individual events and price levels. You also have the option of further customizing your presale by designating a limited number of available codes, the time frame they’ll be available, and whether or not to limit how many tickets can be purchased in one order. Plus, you can repeat this process to simultaneously distribute as many different presale codes as you want, or even to create unique codes for each selected customer in order to further restrict unauthorized presale access.
