Find out what makes a clear user journey and a pain free ticket buying process. Kelly shows how she increased ticket sales by almost 25% for Eureka! The National Children’s Museum.  
3. Measure what matters:  Find out how using daily measurement of important visitor analytics will enable you to understand the changes that need to be made - and the tools you should be using.  
4. Encouraging back would be buyers and upselling:  Emails sent to shoppers who abandoned their cart have an open rate of 45%, providing you with the opportunity to tempt them back and upsell - as do retargeting and upselling at the point of purchase - we show you how.
