A branded wallet pass captures every attendee onto a list you own, even at free events, with a QR at the market gate. Regulr then runs personalized marketing on autopilot. The result is attendees who come back to the next market or festival, early access that fills your ticketed dates, and more 5-star buzz after every great event.
The problem
Your attendees are anonymous. You lean on Instagram, where reach is gone, and ticketing platforms that own the relationship and take a cut. So every new event markets from scratch and one-time attendees never come back. The data is brutal:

what most organizers spend turning attendees into a following they own
But there's a deeper problem
Even when you do have a list, every year the channels you rely on cost more and reach less. Email opens are sliding. Instagram organic reach has collapsed. SMS carriers filter aggressively and attendees opt out. Then there are wallet passes.

Step 1: Capture
A QR on the market signage. NFC at the entrance. A 15-second branded quiz “markets, festivals, or tastings?”. A welcome perk like a free coffee from a vendor, early access, or the next market date. Phone captured, wallet pass on their phone that becomes their link to your whole calendar. It works for free events too, no ticket needed, because capture is the QR at the gate.

Step 2: Retain
Regulr reads which events an attendee comes to. When the next market is back or a matching festival is coming up, it nudges the people who'd love it, written in your voice. The market regulars hear the Saturday market is back. The food-event crowd gets first dibs on a new food festival. No batch blasts, no generic email to a list that forgot you.

Step 4: Grow
Social proof is how the next attendee decides to come. Most organizers leave it to luck. After a great event, Regulr identifies the happy attendees from attendance signals (came back, brought friends, early-access crowd) and sends a one-tap nudge to post and bring friends to the next one.
The right channel, sent at the exact right moment, while the day is still fresh in their minds.

“Stumbled on the Saturday market and now it's my whole weekend. Local farms, live music, and the friendliest crowd. These organizers put on a real one.”

“I always hear about the good events first now. Got early access to the food fest in my wallet days before it opened. Grabbed four for the crew. Worth following.”

Loyalty, your way
Some organizers want a tiered insider club with early-access windows and vendor perks. Some have a members list they already love. Some just want the wallet pass to do its job. Regulr supports all three. Set up in minutes, no rewrites.
Early-access windows, tier ladders, vendor perks, birthday treats, a stamp for every event attended. Pick a template, tweak it in the dashboard, go live the same day. No code, no rebuild.
Already have a members list, a newsletter, or an attendee database? Regulr layers on top. Your rules and perks, our reach and intelligence, all on one wallet pass.
Just want to capture attendees and push the next event? The wallet pass works without tiers. Add an insider club later when you're ready, or never.
Whichever path you pick, your attendees get the same branded pass. The insider club is just the rules on top.
The next one
You run a calendar of recurring events: a Saturday market, summer festivals, seasonal fairs, a tasting series. The retention play is to capture attendees at each one, then fill the next from the last. Regulr pulls each new event, learns who cares about it, and pushes the right reason to come back. The room fills before the gates open.
A community reason to return: the Saturday market is back, here's what's new this week, a new farm stand joined, and a free coffee from a vendor is in your pass. The crowd you couldn't reach before, reached for free.
Past attendees of your summer Food & Drink Fest get early access before the public on-sale. First dibs costs you nothing and isn't a discount, so the people most likely to come see it first and the date fills early.
When you launch something new, Regulr finds the right people from past attendance and gives them first dibs. The food-market crowd hears about the new food market. The tasting-series regulars get the fall series first.
A quiet midweek market or a one-off special edition? Layer a real perk on top: a free tote, a free vendor item, or a kids' craft tent. A community draw, never a ticket discount, turns an empty field into a full one.

Built to compound
Other marketing fades the day you stop paying. Regulr does the opposite. Every attendee captured, every push opened, every event attended, it all stacks. Your map of who comes to what is an audience you own, not one you rent from a ticketing platform every time.

Compounding
Illustrative growth for an organizer capturing 400–600 attendees per event at typical market and festival volume.
Wallet passes have 96% retention at 30 days. Attendees don't unsubscribe, the inbox doesn't bury them, the carrier doesn't filter them. Every attendee you capture stays on a list you own.
Every send teaches the engine who comes to what. The market regulars, the festival crowd, the tasting-series faithful, the families at the fair. Event 12 targeting beats event 1 by a mile, no work from you.
Twelve events of capture, event-history mapping, and refinement is an audience no new organizer can match by writing a check to a ticketing platform. The longer you run, the harder you are to catch.
