Drip Campaigns allow you to create drip email campaigns, a fantastic tool for maximizing your event's reach and revenue. As a registration company, we understand the importance of staying connected with your audience. With our Drip Campaign feature, you can easily create engaging drip email campaigns to reach out to past registrants or targeted email lists.

This simple yet powerful feature allows you to send timely invitations and reminders about your upcoming event, keeping your event top-of-mind and driving attendance. Let’s explore how you can harness this tool to enhance your event marketing strategy and drive success!

Drip Campaign Basics:

  • Create and schedule up to 10 emails to send over the span of several days to registrants from previous events.

  • You can also enter email addresses you’ve collected outside of RegFox.

  • As your emails go out, see clicks, registrations sold and revenue in near real-time.

  • Drive revenue and attendance using this secret weapon of marketers we’ve made available to you right inside RegFox.

Drip Campaign Pricing

  • A Drip Campaigns plan is $9 per month + $0.02 per email

  • If you add a Drip Campaigns plan to your RegFox account, you can send emails to recipients from any of the products (i.e. TicketSpice, RedPodium, and GivingFuel), but you can only track registrations to RegFox pages. If you'd like to track sales to other products, you'll want to add a Drip Campaigns plan to your TicketSpice, RedPodium, or GivingFuel product(s).

🏆 3 Tips for Creating an Email To Drive Revenue

  • Grab the reader's attention with a compelling subject line: The subject line is the first thing that recipients will see in their inbox, so make sure it's attention-grabbing and relevant to the content of the email. Avoid using spammy-sounding phrases or all-caps text, as these may trigger spam filters.

  • Keep the message concise and clear: People are bombarded with emails every day, so keep your message short, simple, and easy to understand. Make sure the main message is communicated early on in the email, so readers don't have to scroll or search for it.

  • Make the call-to-action clear: Whatever action you want your recipients to take, make sure the call-to-action is clear and easy to find. Use a button image or hyperlink.
