A global event
with parallel events
The Freeride World Tour (FWT) was faced with the task of planning and implementing its annual global event. Coordination of parallel competitions and communication between departments were crucial to achieve the event goals: Customer acquisition, partner retention and high return on investment.
Increasing number of participants and conversion rate
through optimized registration processes
In the past, the FWT team struggled to keep track of registrations for the various events and to optimize communication with participants. But by using Sweap, they were now able to ensure that a greater number of registered attendees - with an impressive 17% increase over previous years - actually participated in the events. This involved guests registering via Sweap registration pages, with the website builder playing a central role. Depending on the guest category, multiple websites were created to customize the registration processes. This targeted optimization resulted in reaching a wider audience and made the event even more attractive to winter sports enthusiasts, which also increased the conversion rate.
Minimal no-show rate
through automated event communication
Coordinating email campaigns is always a challenge for event managers, as successful participation and communication with guests is crucial to the success of events. Sweap Campaign Manager, which automated emails sent from FWT, enabled smooth communication and increased participation. In the process, emails were streamlined, expedited and coordinated, ensuring efficient communication. Approved templates meant emails had the same look and feel for every email client. These improvements resulted in a significant reduction in the no-show rate. Compared to previous years, the team was able to ensure that a greater number of registered attendees actually participated in the events.
More event quality
through efficient event planning
The optimization of event planning and execution resulted in significant time and effort savings for the organization team. Automating repetitive tasks freed up valuable resources that the team could now use more of to improve event quality. As a result, they were able to ensure that events were memorable experiences for attendees while minimizing organizational overhead. This contributes to a win-win situation for all involved.
