WANTED: Creative Retargeting Ads for ThunderTix

ThunderTix

ThunderTix is an event ticketing software and box office management system. We offer the system as an online service to venues who use it to sell tickets for all of their events.

What makes ThunderTix unique in the industry is that NO per-ticket fees or order (processing) fees are added to any ticket. We have no contract so venues can sign up month to month to see if they like it....most LOVE it. :)

The venue pays a flat monthly license fee ongoing to use the system to ThunderTix. The monthly license is based on the number of tickets sold annually. That way, the venue knows exactly what their budget is in advance regardless of how many tickets they sell.

It is a full service system from event creation and setting ticket prices to online sales, box office tools and reports, print-at-home tickets with barcodes, a barcode scanning system with option for scanner rental or purchase, and social media sharing to increase the event's visibility.

We are looking for an ad for retargeting purposes through websites that will be targeting organizations that either are doing all of their ticket sales on paper/in person or organizations that have online ticketing and are looking to save money (or save their customers money) or profit with a service that allows them to manage everything in-house.

The banner ad size options are: 160x600, 728x90 and 300x250. Please create any 2 or all of those sizes for whatever fits best with your concept. The banner should include ThunderTix colors as seen in the logo.

We are very flexible with respect to the exact wording of the ad. We are not marketers and don't have any marketing background or experience, so while we have ideas for an ad, we in no way are asking you to use them. All ads should have a call to action.

Some ideas we had were:
1. "Start Selling Tickets Online Today" and maybe include:
2. "Need to Sell Tickets online?"
3. "Do you need to start selling tickets online?"

If you were a music venue and could profit greatly by changing to ThunderTix, what text would entice you to click?

Or, you are a small theater whose ticket costs are low and any added fees are seen as a nuisance, so you are looking for a company that adds nothing to your price of the ticket.

These can be static, rotating gifs or flash based. It should be super clean and not busy looking.

Ads that will get the best rating from us will be the ones that are most creative and do the research to review our site and come up with some catchy phrase based on what services you see that we offer. You are welcome to review our previous design contests to see our preferences.

Animated ads are restricted to a maximum of 30 seconds (at a 15-20 fps frame rate), after which point they must remain static. Any ads featuring a white background are required to have a 1px black border around the perimeter of the ad in order to distinguish it from page content.

Please supply layered image files as well so that text may be altered, for both creative and call to action.
