How Suss Ads Drove High‑Impact Ticket Sales for M‑Tickets Through WhatsApp Ads

Client Overview

M‑Tickets is one of Kenya’s leading digital ticketing platforms, offering seamless online booking for concerts, events, and cinemas. To accelerate ticket sales and deepen customer engagement, M‑Tickets sought a direct communication channel that could deliver personalized interactions at scale.

Campaign Objective

Partnering with Suss Ads, M‑Tickets aimed to:

• Increase ticket sales through a high‑engagement messaging channel.
• Deliver personalized content directly to customers on WhatsApp.
• Strengthen brand visibility and improve digital campaign performance with measurable ROI.

The Challenge

Previous campaigns leaned heavily on broad digital channels such as display and social ads. While they generated awareness, they lacked the intimacy and immediacy required to drive conversions.

M‑Tickets needed a cost‑efficient, high‑intent, conversation‑first solution that reached customers where they spend most of their time: WhatsApp.

Suss Ads Strategy & Approach

Suss Ads deployed a WhatsApp‑first, data‑driven acquisition strategy designed for both scale and personalization.

1. Precision Audience Segmentation

Using M‑Tickets’ customer database, Suss Ads segmented users by:

• Purchase frequency
• Event genre preferences
• Engagement history
• Previous browsing and cart‑abandonment behavior

This ensured every message was relevant and highly targeted.

2. Personalized & Action-Oriented Messaging

Each WhatsApp message included:

• Tailored event recommendations
• Early‑bird discounts
• Targeted upsell opportunities
• Strong, clear calls-to-action driving immediate ticket purchases

3. High‑Impact Rich Media

Suss Ads’ creative studio produced mobile‑optimized banners and visuals crafted specifically for WhatsApp, designed to grab attention and drive clicks.

4. Conversion-Focused Retargeting

Users who opened but didn’t purchase received:

• Exclusive offers
• Ticket reminders
• Time‑sensitive promotions

This maximized revenue opportunities across the entire funnel.
