Message Centre: smarter, simpler event communication
We’re excited to announce the launch of a new feature in the FIXR platform: Message Centre. Designed specifically for event organisers, Message Centre allows you to create, send, and manage your communications - all from one place.
Whether you’re looking to boost ticket sales, share promotions or send important updates to attendees, the Message Centre makes it easier than ever to connect with your audience in a timely, personalised way.
By streamlining your messaging, you’ll save time, reduce costs, and have complete control over your campaigns.
Why Message Centre?
When it comes to organising events, communicating with your audience is everything. But juggling different platforms for emails, promotions, and updates can be a hassle (and often expensive).
Message Centre changes that. Here’s how:
Targeted communication
Your audience isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are your messages. With Message Centre, you can send tailored announcements, promotions, and event updates directly to the groups that matter most.
Want to engage your VIPs with an exclusive offer? No problem. Need to let attendees know about a schedule change? Done. The right message goes to the right people, every time.
Save time and money
Managing communications with multiple tools can eat up valuable time and budget. Message Centre brings everything into FIXR, reducing the reliance on external email services and costly integrations.
Plus, with features like campaign scheduling and duplication, you’ll simplify your workflow and save time for what matters most: planning and running unforgettable events.
Control over your campaigns
From the timing of your message to the content within, you have control. Whether you want to schedule a promotion for next week or send an announcement right away, the Message Centre lets you choose.
You can also customise details, include links, and edit the 'From' name and 'Reply To' address so your communications feel personal, and land with your audience.
Key features to explore
- Compose campaigns: Create targeted announcements, promotions, or service updates to keep your audience informed, excited, and engaged.
- Audience selection: Send campaigns to specific groups, ensuring your messaging is relevant and effective.
- Send now or schedule: Send your campaign immediately or schedule it for a later date and time to maximise impact.
- Campaign management: View, edit, cancel, or delete campaigns at any stage - whether they’re drafts, scheduled, or sent.
