ThingLink and Eventbrite Launch Ticket Purchases From Images<\/h2>\n

ThingLink<\/a> and Eventbrite have announced an integration partnership to allow direct ticket purchases from images. Eventbrite users will now be able to boost attendance wherever they use web-based images to promote their events, via the incorporation of ThingLink\u2019s unique Rich Media Tags to the ticket-selling platform.<\/p>\n

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 10, 2011<\/p>\n

ThingLink<\/a>, the provider of in-image interaction tools, and online events platform Eventbrite<\/a>, have today announced an integration partnership to allow direct ticket purchases from images. Eventbrite users will now be able to boost attendance wherever they use web-based images to promote their events, via the incorporation of ThingLink\u2019s unique Rich Media Tags to the ticket-selling platform.<\/p>\n

First announced in June this year, ThingLink has brought a new dimension to images on the web via Rich Media Tags, transforming static images into navigational platforms. From branded artwork to promotional photography, Rich Media Tags allow the in-image embedding of links from some of the world\u2019s leading social content platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Wikipedia, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and many more. From today the same technology has been made available to Eventbrite users, so that event flyers, promotional images and other listings can now be transformed into direct selling platforms, linking users and potential customers directly to an Eventbrite listing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThingLink allows our users a greater level of flexibility and customer interaction when promoting their events,\u201d commented Mitch Colleran, Eventbrite Partner Manager. \u201cAs well as providing a direct selling platform, ThingLink will allow our users to bring their promotional images to life with video, audio and whatever social features they desire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim with Rich Media Tagging is to empower online images with all of the functionality of the modern web and through this latest collaboration with Eventbrite we have brought on board a true market leader,\u201d added ThingLink Chief Marketing Officer Neil Vineberg. \u201cIn-image purchases remove a barrier between ticket holders and event goers, as well as open up a new realm of creativity for those building flyers and promotional imagery for their events.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
