ConnectJet

Inspiration

Conferences make money when people buy tickets and show up. Getting out of towners to attend is incredibly hard, but can considerably improve your bottom line if successful. Many large membership associations have addresses for their members, and helping them realize there are cheap flights available is a good reason to touch all their members in a localized way.

How it works

1. Create an upcoming event
2. Upload your member list
3. Search for members based upon their location
4. Send personalized emails with the cheapest flights to attend
5. Witness improved event attendance.
