The Difference

Email Marketing Built Around Your Booking History

LiveDesk's marketing tools are built specifically for booking agencies, where client value depends on booking history, performer preferences, and relationship context. Every campaign draws on that context automatically, so your emails and texts reach the right people at the right time.

Segments Built From Real Booking Data

LiveDesk knows exactly who booked a kids' entertainer, who hired a DJ, and who hasn't booked in two years — so every segment is built on real behaviour, not guesswork.

Always Up-to-Date Contact Lists

Because your marketing lives inside the same system as your bookings, your contact lists update automatically. New clients added this week and bookings made yesterday are ready for your very next campaign.

Built-In SMS for Time-Sensitive Offers

LiveDesk includes SMS alongside email, giving you the channel with the highest open rates on hand for time-sensitive offers like last-minute availability and seasonal promotions.

Precisely Targeted Campaigns

Booking history filters every send automatically, so corporate clients get corporate offers and wedding clients get wedding offers. Every campaign stays relevant — and so does your reputation.

Replies Land in the Right Place

When a client responds to a campaign, that reply is tracked straight back to their profile. Your team gets full context, complete booking history, and a record of exactly what was sent.

Campaigns Connect Straight to Revenue

Because your marketing tool and your booking system share the same data, you can see exactly which campaigns led to bookings — no manual correlation across platforms required.

What Is It?

What Is Entertainment Agency Marketing Software?

Entertainment agency marketing software is a tool that lets booking agencies run targeted email and SMS campaigns directly from their client database — without exporting lists, importing contacts into a third-party platform, or manually rebuilding segments every time. Because the marketing tools live inside the same system as your bookings, enquiries, and client records, your campaigns are always based on accurate, up-to-date data about who has actually booked with you and what they booked.

LiveDesk is entertainment agency marketing software built around one core idea: your existing client base is your most under-utilised revenue source. Every agency has clients who booked two years ago and would happily book again — if the agency stayed in touch. LiveDesk makes it easy to identify those clients, segment them by booking history or tag, and reach them with a relevant offer over email or SMS. A corporate client who booked a magician for last year's Christmas party is a natural target for this year's promotion. A parent who hired a kids' entertainer eighteen months ago might be planning another party right now. Without entertainment agency marketing software connected to your booking data, those opportunities go unnoticed.

Unlike standalone email platforms, LiveDesk's built-in campaign tools have direct access to your client database and booking history. Every campaign sent is automatically logged against each recipient's contact record. Replies can be tracked, follow-up tasks can be created, and the whole interaction feeds back into the same client profile your team uses for bookings, quotes, and communication. It's the difference between a disconnected broadcast and a properly joined-up marketing operation.

Email Campaigns

Run Targeted Booking Agency Email Campaigns from Inside Your CRM

LiveDesk lets you build and send email campaigns directly to your client base without exporting a single spreadsheet. Because your contact database, booking history, and tags all live in the same platform, your segments are always accurate and always up to date. Send a seasonal promotion, announce a new performer's availability, or re-engage clients who haven't booked in over a year — all from within your booking agency marketing software.

  • Send to the right contacts: Choose your audience from your full client database or filter to a specific tag segment — corporate bookers, wedding planners, or returning clients only.
  • Promote what matters: Highlight seasonal offers, new performers joining your roster, upcoming availability windows, or exclusive promotions for loyal clients.
  • Auto-logged to client records: Every email campaign is automatically logged against each recipient's contact profile, so your team has full visibility of what was sent and when.
  • Built on live booking data: Segments update in real time — clients added to your database today are available for tomorrow's campaign without any manual syncing or CSV exports.
SMS Marketing

SMS Marketing for Entertainment Agencies — Where Every Message Gets Read

Email open rates for marketing campaigns typically sit between 20 and 30 percent. SMS open rates sit above 90 percent. For time-sensitive offers — last-minute availability, limited-run promotions, or seasonal reminders — SMS campaigns for booking agencies reach clients where email never will. LiveDesk gives you both channels from one platform, so you can choose the right medium for each campaign and build a two-channel marketing strategy without managing two separate tools.

  • Dramatically higher open rates: SMS reaches clients on their phones within minutes. For time-sensitive offers and last-minute availability, there is no faster or more effective channel.
  • Segment your SMS audience: Send SMS campaigns to the same tag-based segments you use for email — corporate clients, returning bookers, dormant contacts, or any group you've defined.
  • Short, direct, and effective: SMS forces brevity, which is a strength. A well-crafted message promoting a Christmas party performer package needs no design, no images, no long copy.
  • Logged against every contact: Every SMS campaign is recorded against each recipient's contact profile in LiveDesk — so your team knows what was sent before they follow up.

Client Segmentation

Client Segmentation — Target the Right Contacts Every Time

LiveDesk's tagging system turns your client database into a precision marketing tool. Send a kids' party promotion only to clients who've booked children's entertainment. Target corporate contacts with a Christmas party package. Re-engage anyone who hasn't booked in twelve months. No other external email platform can segment from your booking data the way LiveDesk can.

Tag-Based Segments

Apply tags to any contact — by client type, booking category, event preference, location, or any other dimension relevant to your agency. Every tag becomes a ready-made campaign audience.

Segment by Booking History

Identify clients who booked a specific performer type, attended a particular kind of event, or haven't made a booking in over a year. Your booking history is your most powerful segmentation tool.

Corporate vs Consumer Targeting

Corporate HR contacts, event planners, and wedding organisers all have different needs. Tag them correctly once and your campaigns always reach the right audience — never the wrong one.

Re-Engage Dormant Clients

Filter for clients who haven't booked in 12 or 18 months, apply a "dormant" tag, and send a targeted campaign to bring them back. The highest-value prospects are often already in your database.

Seasonal Campaign Audiences

Build segments for Christmas party season, summer events, school holidays, and wedding season. Send the right promotions at the right time of year to clients who are most likely to be planning.

Always-Live Segments

Because segmentation happens inside LiveDesk, your audiences update automatically as clients are added, tagged, or updated. No stale CSV exports, no out-of-date lists, no manual reconciliation.

Two Channels, One Platform

SMS and Email Marketing for Booking Agencies — When to Use Each

Both channels serve different purposes in a booking agency's marketing strategy. LiveDesk gives you both, so you can match the medium to the message.

Email Campaigns
Best for longer-form, rich content
  • Seasonal promotions with full performer details and pricing
  • New performer announcements with bio, video links, and availability
  • Monthly newsletters keeping your agency top of mind
  • Detailed re-engagement sequences for dormant clients
  • Follow-up after an enquiry with a quote or package overview
SMS Campaigns
Best for immediate, high-impact reach
  • Last-minute performer availability alerts to corporate bookers
  • Time-sensitive seasonal offers — Christmas, summer, school holidays
  • Short re-engagement messages to clients who haven't booked recently
  • Quick reminders about upcoming booking deadlines or deposit windows
  • Direct, personal outreach where email open rates are too unreliable
How It Works

How to Run a Campaign with LiveDesk Agency Marketing Software

From tagging your client base to sending a targeted campaign, the whole process runs inside one platform — no exports, no third-party logins, no syncing required.

01

Tag Your Contacts

Apply tags to clients based on their booking history, client type, location, or any dimension relevant to your campaigns. Tags can be added in bulk or individually as clients are onboarded.

02

Choose Your Segment

Select a tag to define your campaign audience. Target corporate clients for a Christmas party promotion, kids' entertainers' past bookers for a summer campaign, or all dormant clients for re-engagement.

03

Draft Your Campaign

Write your email or SMS message. For email, add subject line, body copy, and any relevant call to action. For SMS, keep it short and direct. Use saved message templates to speed things up.

04

Send or Schedule

Send immediately or schedule for the optimal time. SMS campaigns are best sent in working hours. Email campaigns benefit from mid-week morning delivery for corporate audiences.

05

Follow Up on Responses

Campaign sends are logged against every recipient's contact profile. When a client responds or calls, your team has full context — what was sent, when, and what the next step should be.

Common Questions

Entertainment Agency Marketing Software: Frequently Asked Questions

What is entertainment agency marketing software?

Entertainment agency marketing software is a tool that lets booking agencies run email and SMS campaigns directly from their client database — without exporting lists to external platforms. Because the campaign tools are built into the same system as your bookings, contacts, and communication history, segmentation is always based on accurate, live booking data rather than manually maintained spreadsheets. LiveDesk is built specifically for entertainment booking agencies, so it understands the client types, booking patterns, and campaign scenarios that are unique to the live entertainment industry.

Why should booking agencies use SMS marketing?

SMS open rates consistently sit above 90 percent, compared to 20–30 percent for email marketing campaigns. For time-sensitive offers — last-minute performer availability, seasonal promotions, or short-notice events — SMS reaches clients on their phones within minutes, with near-certainty that the message will be read. For booking agencies, that speed and visibility makes SMS a highly effective channel alongside email, particularly for corporate bookers and repeat clients who may miss emails but will almost always see a text.

How does client segmentation work in LiveDesk?

LiveDesk uses a tag-based system to segment your client database. You can apply any tags you need — by client type (corporate, wedding, private), booking category (kids' entertainment, bands, magicians), location, status (active, dormant, VIP), or any other dimension your agency uses. When you create a campaign, you select the tag that defines your audience. Because tags live inside LiveDesk alongside booking history, you can also identify clients who booked specific performer types, haven't booked recently, or match other booking-data criteria — segmentation that no external email platform can replicate.

Can I use LiveDesk instead of Mailchimp or a separate email tool?

Yes. LiveDesk's built-in campaign tools are designed to replace standalone email platforms for booking agency marketing. The key advantage is that your campaigns draw directly from your live client database and booking history — so segments are always accurate, campaigns are automatically logged against contact records, and you don't need to maintain a separate tool, manage CSV exports, or keep two systems in sync. For agencies where marketing is primarily about re-engaging existing clients rather than acquiring new ones, LiveDesk is a more effective and far simpler solution.

Are campaign sends logged against client profiles?

Yes. Every email and SMS campaign sent from LiveDesk is automatically logged against the contact profile of each recipient. Your team can see exactly what was sent, when it was sent, and to which contact — before making a follow-up call or sending a further message. This gives every team member the full communication history they need to continue a conversation with context, without relying on a separate inbox or asking a colleague what was said.

What kinds of campaigns do entertainment agencies typically send?

The most common campaigns are seasonal promotions (Christmas party packages, summer event offers, school holiday entertainment), re-engagement sequences for clients who haven't booked in 12–18 months, new performer announcements to relevant segments, and last-minute availability alerts for corporate bookers. Agencies with strong client databases also run targeted campaigns around specific event types — promoting kids' entertainers to contacts who have previously booked children's acts, or reaching corporate HR contacts exclusively with Christmas party content.
