What's New: Limited Time Offers - Automated Ticket Pricing Magic
We're thrilled to introduce Limited Time Offers - your new tool for maximizing ticket sales and creating irresistible purchase urgency! Set up automated pricing tiers that change on schedule, reward early buyers, and watch your events sell out faster than ever.
🎯 What's New
Automated Price Scheduling
Say goodbye to manual price changes and midnight alarms! Now you can set up your entire pricing strategy in advance. Create early bird specials, regular pricing, and last-minute deals that automatically transition at your chosen times. Set it once, and let Sweatpals handle the rest while you focus on creating amazing experiences.
Smart Urgency Creation
Watch your conversion rates soar with built-in countdown timers. Attendees see exactly how much they're saving and when prices will increase, creating that perfect "buy now" moment. No more hoping people will purchase - give them a reason they can see ticking down in real-time.
Flexible Pricing Tiers
Whether you want to reward your earliest supporters with 50% off or create a last-minute flash sale, you're in complete control. Name your tiers, set your prices, choose your timing - unlimited combinations to match your unique strategy. From "Super Early Bird" to "Last Call" pricing, craft the perfect sales journey.
Visual Purchase Incentives
Your attendees instantly see the value with crossed-out original prices and clear "Price increases in X days" messaging. Every element is designed to highlight the deal they're getting right now and what they'll miss if they wait.
