I have a question regarding marketing ads and how many versions is the right number? Long story short, we are working with a new marketing agency this year. As we get ready to launch our spring/summer acquisition ads for our membership program, we have 4-5 different marketing ads that we will rotate over the next 19 weeks. Each ad concentrates on a different component of our membership program; such as, value, benefits, members-only events, etc... With our previous agency, we had 7 different versions allowing alot of flexibility with ads. I am concerned that with a lower number of versions, the public could &amp;quot;tune out&amp;quot; our ads. What does your organization do? Do you rotate different versions of your ads throughout the year? How many versions do you have? Any pros and cons? Thank you.</description><category domain="https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/zoos-aquariums-tug/tags/memberships">memberships</category><category domain="https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/zoos-aquariums-tug/tags/zoos">zoos</category><category domain="https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/zoos-aquariums-tug/tags/marketing">marketing</category><category domain="https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/zoos-aquariums-tug/tags/aquariums">aquariums</category></item><item><title>Forum Post: SalesVu integration??</title><link>https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/zoos-aquariums-tug/f/discussions/35456/salesvu-integration</link><pubDate>Thu, 21 Mar 2024 16:01:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">fd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:58b74c4b-7e4b-4fb1-9238-2c864a59997b</guid><dc:creator>Beth Dietzler</dc:creator><description>Hello everyone!!

We run a Consignment program where we sell the tickets to each hotel at a discounted rate. We then mail them x number of physical passes. Then the hotels add it into their bookings at our full price and they keep the difference. Those physical passes get handed to the hotel guest at check-in and they hand them back to our Front Desk staff. In Tessitura we have a specific ticket type to know how many were redeemed. I am not sure how the woman who handles this program sells them into Tessitura (to send to the hotels), but I can send along her email if you&amp;#39;d like so she can explain further.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: 3rd Party Sellers - Concierge?</title><link>https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/zoos-aquariums-tug/f/discussions/35333/3rd-party-sellers---concierge/91728</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Mar 2024 00:05:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">fd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:2842f1db-1c98-4916-8d0d-511587cac41f</guid><dc:creator>Megan Quintal</dc:creator><description>Hi Samantha!

We are based in Las Vegas and want to partner with the concierge services at our hotels, and other third party places such a bus tour places where they can sell tickets to our museum. We need to be able to track who sells what so that they can get a commission on these sales. Does anyone do something like this and if so, how? Thanks!

If so, and are willing to chat, would you mind letting me know - mark.boyer@dallaszoo.com We have a rogue membership autorenewal process (we use Memberships as Products) and we do not want to lose those CC numbers.
