2.

Create your own strategies

Once familiar with simple strategies, take the next step and develop your own strategies based on your sales forecasts and artificial intelligence.

3.

Track your results

Measure the impact of your smart pricing strategies by analysing your current sales and forecasting future sales.

What are the benefits of smart pricing?

The results of a dynamic pricing strategy depend on your objectives. Do you want to increase your revenue or shift bookings to off-peak times? Do you have limited capacity to manage?

"Unlike hotels and airlines, cultural and tourism providers do not have an integrated solution to optimise pricing during peaks and lows."

Why use dynamic pricing?

The purpose of dynamic pricing is to meet the real demand of your customers with prices that are calculated according to your data.

This pricing strategy allows you to adjust prices in real time based on various industry-specific factors such as demand, weather forecasts, peak hours, days of the week, time remaining before an event, traffic on your website, etc.

Who uses dynamic pricing?

This pricing method is already used in many industries, such as airlines, hotels and e-commerce. It is also gradually becoming the norm in the leisure, culture and events sector.

Create your smart pricing strategies

Smart pricing with Smeetz is easy. You create your own strategies by configuring one of our models.

Linear growth icon

Linear price variation

Your price increases linearly between a starting price and a final price. This model makes it easy to get started - the closer you get to the date, the higher the price.

Step growth icon

Step price variation

Your price is changed at each time step you set. This method is perfect if you are interested in selling several "packs" of tickets at different prices (e.g. early-bird tickets).

Revenue optimisation icon

Revenue optimisation

Your price varies between a minimum and a maximum price with the objective of increasing your income. The artificial intelligence algorithm takes into account the number of tickets sold.

Attendance optimisation icon

Attendance optimisation

Your price varies between a minimum and a maximum price with the objective of selling as many tickets as possible. The artificial intelligence algorithm takes into account the flow of tickets sold.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does smart pricing work?

Prices are calculated according to the dynamic pricing model you have chosen. You define whether the recalculation takes place every hour, every day or every time a certain number of tickets are sold. This way, when there is little demand for a product on a certain date, the prices of this product will be very advantageous. The more a product is in demand, the closer its price will be to a fixed maximum price. The organiser can set a minimum and maximum price in advance.

How do models with artificial intelligence work?

The two models using artificial intelligence are the optimisation models. When there is little demand for a product on a certain date, the prices of this product will be very advantageous. The more a product is in demand, the closer its price will be to a fixed maximum price. Price determination can be done by taking into account the weather forecast, your sales forecast and the traffic on your website.

Will the prices be higher?

The choice is entirely up to the organisers. Some models let prices move gradually from a minimum price to a fixed maximum price. Others are to let the model adapt to the current price level and offer lower prices during periods of low demand, and higher prices on days when demand is high.

What is the maximum price?

The maximum price is set by the organiser for each product. Setting a maximum price avoids excessively large increases of the price in times of high demand and ensures that the activity remains affordable at any time.

What are the advantages of smart pricing for the organisers?

  • The use of dynamic pricing allows for a better distribution of participants over time and optimises the management of limited capacity. With attractive prices, customers are encouraged to buy tickets for periods of low attendance.
  • Dynamic prices also maximise income in two other ways. Prices can increase automatically on days of high demand, or prices can increase gradually as the final date approaches.
  • Lower prices at the beginning of sales also encourage your customers to book their tickets in advance, thus ensuring pre-sales and better anticipation of event management.

What are the advantages of smart pricing for the final customers?

  • Users are rewarded with the best rates when they choose to book their tickets in advance.
  • Users can now get last-minute deals for your products if your remaining stock is too high just before your event.
