Making the Most of the Waiting List Feature



Typical waiting lists might be a bit dull, but with TicketingHub, we've turned waiting lists into a dynamic, user-friendly feature. Our unique approach allows you to gauge customer interest in dates that aren't yet available for booking, enabling you to determine which potential dates are most in-demand. This way, you can prioritize the tours that are most likely to fill up and skip those that are less popular

For instance, one of our clients discovered a surge of interest for tours on Thursdays. By introducing Thursday tours based on this information, they significantly increased their annual turnover.

This guide will walk you through how to use the TicketingHub waiting list feature effectively.

Customer Experience on the Waiting List



From a customer's perspective, the waiting list feature is user-friendly and easy to navigate. The customer will find an option to join the waiting list at the bottom of the widget:

"No suitable date? Join the waiting list!"

This message can be customized to fit your brand's tone and language using a custom translation file (please contact us for assistance with this).
