Ticket to the world Auto reply and follow up emails

Emails It’s important that we connect to the user right away while the campaign is still fresh in their minds. Thus, we’ve created two follow-up emails to convert users faster into TBC’s. If a customer doesn’t convert to a TBC after the first autoreply email, they will receive the second one. If, however, they become a TBC, they will not receive any campaign related emails.

The emails will be set-up centrally. A step-by-step guide will be provided seperately.

Ticket to the world Translations

Translations Your website will be translated using an online translation tool, where you’ll be able to translate all your copy directly.

Step 1 Each campaign responsible will receive a designated URL for the tool, valid for your market only. If you haven't shared your campaign responsible already, please get in touch with Central.

Step 2 Translate the copy. Please respect the length of text and make sure the length of your translated copy does not exceed the English version. This is especially important for CTAs, headlines and titles - keep them as short as possible in order to avoid breaking the design.
