In detail:

Certainly! Here are more details about the planned enhancements for the existing NMKR Ticketing solution:

• New Design & Interface:
• The first enhancement involves a complete overhaul of the user interface and design of the NMKR Ticketing solution. The aim is to provide users with a fresh and modern look, making the platform more visually appealing and user-friendly.
• The new design will prioritize user experience, with intuitive navigation, responsive layouts, and improved accessibility features.
• Visual elements such as color schemes, typography, icons, and graphics will be updated to align with current design trends and brand identity.

• Self-Serviced Ticket Creation inside NMKR Studio:
• This feature will empower event organizers and users by allowing them to create and customize event tickets directly within the NMKR Studio platform.
• Users will have the ability to design event tickets, set pricing, add event details, choose seating arrangements (if applicable), and manage ticket sales all from a user-friendly interface.
• It will reduce the dependency on external ticketing platforms and provide more control and flexibility to event organizers.

• Affiliate Links/Code:
• The introduction of affiliate links and codes is aimed at expanding the reach of events and boosting ticket sales.
• Event organizers can generate unique affiliate links or codes for partners, promoters, or influencers. These individuals or entities can then promote the event and earn commissions on ticket sales made through their links or codes.
• The system will track sales originating from affiliate links/codes, making it easy to calculate commissions and incentivize affiliates effectively.

Additional Considerations:

• Integration with payment gateways: Ensure seamless payment processing for ticket sales, supporting various payment methods.
• Security and data privacy: Implement robust security measures to protect user data and payment information.
• Reporting and analytics: Develop reporting tools to provide event organizers with insights into ticket sales, attendee demographics, and revenue generation.
• Mobile responsiveness: Ensure that the ticketing solution is accessible and functional on mobile devices to cater to a wide audience.

The implementation of these enhancements will not only improve the overall user experience but also empower event organizers to manage their events more efficiently, while also expanding their reach through affiliate marketing. It's essential to collaborate with a skilled development team to execute these improvements successfully and ensure a seamless transition for existing users.
