Stop Letting Event Leads Slip Away: 5 Ways to Automate Your Venue’s Growth

Are you tired of juggling phone calls, emails, and website inquiries, only to have potential event leads fall through the cracks? In the competitive events industry, every lead is a golden opportunity. But what if you could capture, manage, and even book events automatically, without lifting a finger?

With Tripleseat, you can. Just ask one of our satisfied customers:

“Tripleseat really changed our business. My bandwidth was wider, and I could take on more event business – so much so that I could eventually hire an Event Coordinator. We have literally gone from no events to events now being a really important revenue stream for the business.” – Johanna Holm, Director of Marketing and Events at Elusa Winery

Here are five ways you can automate your venue’s growth and get back to focusing on what you do best: creating incredible experiences.

1. Capture Every Lead with a Smart Lead Form

Imagine a potential client browsing your website at 10 PM. They’re inspired and ready to inquire. Instead of sending an email that gets buried overnight, they find your Tripleseat lead form.

Our forms are designed to be your 24/7 sales assistant.

• Seamlessly embed them on your website, social media pages, and email campaigns.
• Instantly capture all necessary details directly into your Tripleseat dashboard.
• Trigger automated email responses to immediately confirm receipt and let them know you’ll be in touch. No more leads lost to a cluttered inbox.

2. Get Discovered by More Planners on EventUp
