How Tix Global is going to make a change
Right now in Malaysia, events are not receiving the proper exposure and
necessary tools to reach their true potential.
Events are all about attendance and exposure, the more people who know
about it, the more valuable the event becomes. Bigger events means better quality
events as more resources and effort are invested which can then be recuperated
from ticket sales and other income channels such as sponsor deals.
But what about the smaller events? The events that don't have the
resources or the platform to reach out to the masses. There's where Tix Global
comes in! We are building a one stop platform that boost not only their
management skills but also provides the best chance of making it big through a
pay per sale platform that only charges them for each ticket sold!
Now, maybe you're wondering. We already have eventbrite and peatix and
Facebook Event Page and what have you. But what sets Tix Global apart is the
unified effort of bringing exposure and marketing to all the events that we
host on our platform through a synergy approach where traffic for Event A is
also funnelled into Event B through a more organic and referral approach to
exposure where even our own marketing efforts will directly benefit all the
events held on the platform!
The same under-exposed locals who are craving for as much attention as
the dominating, bigger international branded events. We want to empower them in
building their dreams and to grant them the opportunity to support their local
brothers & sisters so that they too can achieve their artistic goals.
Why We Need The Funds
We've been bootstrapping the development phase for almost half a year
now with our own savings and funds but in order to really bring the platform to
live, we are gonna need your help!
What 70,000 USD will do for us, Tix Global :
·
Application development
·
Programming and software development
·
User interface development
·
Back-end development
·
Marketing and operating expenses
·
Payment Gateway application and full integration
·
Email Blast integration
We implore you to help us build some traction so that with enough of a
running start, we are able to attract bigger investors and receive the
financial aid needed to really bring this platform to life.
The Impact...
Malaysia and Southeast Asia have so many events that are unorganized and
not reaching their full audience possible, and Tix Global is the key to
providing a better experience for all parties involved. Instead of looking to
solve event-related problems across various platforms, coordinators can now
focus on the actual event itself by leaving the management aspect up to Tix Global.
Our range of tools for event organization include:
·
Custom event page
·
Custom form creation (for any details desired)
·
Accept all payment types and provide client receipts/tickets
·
Real time analytics to track progress and respond to issues instantly
·
Email blast features integrated into the system (send automatic updates)
·
Real time check-in system and attendance tracking (lowering waiting
queue)
·
Organic and user based marketing efforts
Risk & Challenges
So far, we've half way through our development stage.
We hope to launch the platform by March 2016.
We have secured our excellent development team that has over 15 years of working experience in coding and product development.
We have secured potential marketing partners that will handle the branding and marketing of the platform early next year.
We have already confirmed arrangements with local banks in Malaysia for our secured payment gateway.
We have secured several clients that are really keen in adopting the platform into their events next year.
Our biggest challenge is currently financial support, without a working platform to show for our work, investors aren't too keen. But with so much already invested, ( over 50,00 USD of our own funds ), we aren't in a position to give up.
We are currently pitching in a startup grant next month, and with several angel investors that look promising.
Our second biggest risk is economy.
With our Country, Malaysia under heavy scrutiny, investor confidence in our currency has fallen to a new low with the National Currency of Malaysian Ringgit currently trading at over MYR 4.50 to 1 USD with some reports suggesting the ringgit will plunge to MYR 5 to 1 USD early next year.
Final Notes
If this is not your thing, then no worries as I'm sure there are plenty of other ways you can spend your hard earned money on, but a referral or a share would be very highly appreciated.
