    +SMS is the cheapest acquisition channel in event marketing. Not email. Not Instagram ads. Not influencer posts. A text message to someone who already gave you their phone number converts at 7.26% — and costs $0.06 per send.
    +
    +We run the numbers on every channel obsessively. SMS produces a cost per ticket sale of roughly $4.28. For context, Meta ads run $5 to $10 per sale on a good campaign. Instagram stories barely move tickets at all. SMS is the backbone of the entire sales funnel.
