Eventbrite is an online platform to plan, promote, host, and manage
events of every kind. When your events are organized with Eventbrite,
Zoho CRM brings you an option to synchronize those event and attendee
details to Zoho CRM as campaigns and contacts. With the event details
inside CRM, you can make sure to have better interaction for a good
customer relationship.
Say you host an
event to raise money for charity and invite your customers too. Knowing
who attended the event will help you bond better and you might also show
a kind gesture by offering them a discount the next time they purchase.
