EVANSTON, Ill. - Thanks to your support and computer savvy, Northwestern is receiving recognition in the online world, as well.
Paciolan -- the leading ticketing, fundraising and marketing technology solutions provider for live entertainment venues -- announced that NU has been awarded $5,000 in products and services for having a better than 30 percent online renewal for season football tickets. We were able to achieve our mark (30.58 percent) despite the fact that it is only our first year using this process. So to those of you who used the system -- Thanks!
Several Paciolan college athletic clients competed to achieve the highest adoption renewal rate (the most number of online renewals vs. manually processed mail-in or phone renewals), and encouraged their season ticket holders to discover the convenience of renewing football season tickets online via e.Venue, Paciolan's e-commerce ticketing, fundraising and marketing solution.
Iowa State took first place and as a result was given $10,000 cash. In their first year of automating renewals online, the Cyclones had a 59.72 percent adoption renewal rate. Virginia Tech was second at 53.39 percent.
A total of 12 universities achieved better than 30 percent adoption and will be awarded with a $5,000 credit toward Paciolan products and services.
