Fanhaven’s Email Campaigns let you reach your fans directly in their inbox. Whether you’re promoting a new merch drop, announcing tour dates, or sharing exclusive content, campaigns are the way to do it.
Creating a campaign
Navigate to Marketing → Campaigns
Open the campaigns page from the dashboard.
Set up your campaign with:
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Campaign name | Internal name for tracking |
| Subject line | What fans see in their inbox |
| From name | The sender name (e.g., the artist’s name) |
| Audience | Which fans receive this — all fans, a segment, or a custom list |
Use the email editor to create your message. You can:
Write rich text with formatting
Add images and media
Include links to your Fanpass page, online store, or external URLs
Use merge tags to personalize (e.g., fan’s first name)
Send a test email to yourself to check formatting, links, and rendering across email clients.
Choose to send immediately or schedule for a specific date and time.
Audience targeting
The power of campaigns comes from targeting the right fans:
- All fans with email consent — Broad reach
- Specific segment — Targeted (e.g., “Fans in New York” for a NYC show promo)
- Fanpass holders — Reach your most engaged fans
- Purchase-based — Fans who bought a specific item or spent above a threshold
Targeted campaigns consistently outperform mass blasts. A relevant message to the right 500 fans beats an untargeted email to 5,000.
Tracking & analytics
After sending, Fanhaven tracks:
| Metric | Description |
|---|
| Delivered | Successfully reached the inbox |
| Opened | Fan opened the email (tracked via pixel) |
| Clicked | Fan clicked a link in the email |
| Open rate | Percentage of delivered emails that were opened |
| Click rate | Percentage of opened emails that had a link clicked |
Attribution
When fans click through from an email to your Fanpass store and make a purchase, Fanhaven can attribute that revenue back to the campaign — showing you the direct ROI of your email marketing.
Best practices
- Respect consent — Only email fans who have opted in
- Write compelling subject lines — This is the #1 factor in whether fans open your email
- Keep it concise — Fans scan emails quickly; get to the point
- Include a clear CTA — Every email should have one primary action (shop now, get tickets, etc.)
- Test before sending — Always preview on mobile and desktop
- Monitor metrics — Watch open rates and click rates to learn what resonates
