With Ad Campaigns, you can easily create and manage ads on Facebook and Instagram directly from your RegFox account. This powerful tool helps you reach new audiences, boost ticket sales, and reconnect with past registrants to encourage them to register again.
Our AI-powered system automatically generates ad drafts for you, complete with suggested text and images that you can customize to fit your event. Once your ads are live, you can monitor performance metrics directly within RegFox, making it simple to manage everything in one place.
Note: This feature is currently in beta and available to a limited group of customers. If you’re part of that group, reach out to our team to have it enabled in your account. If not, get excited because this feature will be available to all customers soon!
