We are new to the Tessitura network and are trying to figure things out. I would like to pose the question to ya'll out there for some guidance on how to proceed.
Before each of our performances in our local newspaper, we hold a draw for free tickets to the upcoming show. People answer the posed question and send in their ballot with all their contact information on it. After the draw is done we receive these ballots from the newspaper and filter out those who do not want to be contacted regarding upcoming events and keep the ones who are open to these event notifications and marketing.
How can I imput these names into Tessitura and track them as participants of this draw. Is a source the way to do it or is there a better way?
any guidance would be appreciated!
We use attributes for ticket drawings. We name each such attribute starting with the fiscal year.
We had a major event where we had a drawing for 2,000 tickets. We used a specific attribute for that event, with the following possible values:
· Winner
· Applicant
· Applicant-Duplicate Address (for more than one member of the same household)
· Won-Refused
· Won-No Response
· Ineligible
· Late
This has allowed us to pull lists easily for specific subsets of the response group. We even set up some custom programming for our web site that allowed the use of certain promo codes only to those accounts that contain the correct attribute. This allowed us to “sell” 2,000 comp tickets online in a very short time period.
For other ticket drawings we’ve just used Applicant and Winner.
