The Big Challenge of Seatwave

Along with the well-known popularity of the Seatwave, they even got bigger responsibilities to take care of, and maintain their reputation in the marketplace. It is big challenge to know the right timing of the ads and invitations for the customers. Targeting and segmenting the targets for better reach of the right kind of invitation to right kind of customer needs a lot of research work.

If a person don’t find relevant ad or offers for the Seatwave website, a person may not look into it again. It is because the very business of Seatwave is to provide a space for the fans of particular events and that totally depends on the individual interest of the prospects.

As every event has a date to release, so the next big challenge for Seatwaves is that, they get minimum amount of time to reach their targets with right interest, and make the tickets sell. Screenshot-2012-02-22-à-00. 14. 13-520x336

They even have a ticket guarantee which helps the buyers to get the ticket booked on a day only by the day of event in case it is not available during booking, so it is really difficult to keep such buyers, as in case they don’t find a secondary ticket, Seatwave will have to return the total amount for that ticket.
