Eventbrite for Salesforce: an Outlook on the Events Industry in 2021 + Tools to Ace Your Events
2020 was undoubtedly the year of online events. Eventbrite counted no less than 75M attendees for no less than 1 million events.
With most of the world opening up gradually, you’d think that online events will be a thing of the past soon. But I wouldn’t be so hasty to place a wager on that.
While we all miss in-person events, some people have discovered that the comfort of their own home is second to none. Plus, let’s remember that there are still extra-cautious people who will prefer to stick to the online events for as long as possible.
One last argument before you declare the online event industry a by-gone: even for offline events, the better part of the onboarding happens online. You register and buy your tickets online, and you offer post-event feedback online.
The key to event success in the future? Being able to deal with constantly changing measures, as Eventbrite so aptly put it. And with constantly changing customer needs and expectations, we’d add.
But here’s one change that’s coming and that you should prepare for: in most countries, people are no longer stuck in their homes 90% of the time. So they will be more selective about the online or offline events they participate in.
This is why you need an ironclad strategy to sell your next event, whether it’s online, offline, or hybrid.
Meet the Eventbrite for Salesforce integration that’s about to become the cornerstone of your ironclad strategy. (Bonus: read on to discover integration features for Eventbrite to Salesforce that you won’t find anywhere else!)
How do you attract attendees to a paid or free event? You start with your existing contacts, of course. If Salesforce is part of your marketing and sales automation suite, then it’s a no-brainer: you have to start by leveraging your contacts and leads there.
