SLASHMACHINE USES DATA TO INCREASE ADVANCE ADMISSIONS. HERE’S HOW.
GEAR #1: CATALYSTS
GEAR #2: SLASHPASS
GEAR #3: INTELLIGENT SMS
GEAR #4: MARKETING & SERVICE
GEAR #1: CATALYSTS
“Catalyst” is a chemistry term, of course, but it applies to the first gear of SlashMachine because the machine provides elements to make an action happen more QUICKLY. Specifically, it makes your ticket buyers BUY TICKETS more quickly. These catalysts include:




GEAR #2: SLASHPASS
Once we have a catalyst plan in place, we make it EASY for customers to get their tickets. At the center of this is the SlashPass e-commerce system. SlashPass powers FOUR different sales channels, making sure your customers always have an easy and accessible way to purchase admission.1. SlashPass.com Portal and 2. Direct-Purchase Facebook App

3. Mobile Purchase Page

4. Toll-Free Line Staffed with Full-Time Employees 7 Days a Week
All advance purchasers can download a barcoded SlashPass to their phone, or can print one out at home. We also provide free scanning apps, if you’d like to scan these at the door.

With every transaction through SlashPass, we’re capturing precious DATA. Not only that, we’re also capturing REFERRAL SOURCE data. We can show you exactly which marketing technique is responsible for each ticket sold.


Now, in a perfect world, we’d fill up your queue before opening day. Until you can build on the power of your captured data from advanced sales, you need a system to extract data from walk-up sales. SlashMachine helps you capture that data from the people standing in line with powerful tools, including:
Event Signage

Hard Tickets with Incentives

GEAR #3: INTELLIGENT SMS RESPONSE SYSTEMS
By printing incentive language on hard tickets, which we’ve optimized after iterative testing, you can encourage walk-ups to text discount codes to specific numbers in order to both capture mobile phone numbers and encourage same-season return sales. What’s more, those receiving codes will be driven to SlashPass.com to collect their incentive, allowing capture of even MORE customer data.
GEAR #4: MARKETING AND SERVICE
Once you’ve put the machine to work to massively build your customer database, you’ll have access to the SlashMachine marketing arsenal, including:
Mass Email Engine
Mass SMS Platform
Mass Phone Call Platform
Twitter Automation
…and more.
And all of this is backed up by our team of more than
