This document describes a SaaS marketing platform that connects fan social media activity around live music events to ticket sales. It analyzes problems venues face with ineffective marketing and lack of data tools. The proposed solution is a 4-step platform that 1) automates event calendars, 2) collects fan data, 3) develops fan profiles and metrics, and 4) enables analytics-driven marketing campaigns. It aims to help venues sell more tickets by targeting the right fans through social media and other channels. Financial forecasts assume growing affiliate fees or platform fees paid by ticket solutions over a 5-year period as the customer base expands market by market.
