Ballie Ballerson

Increasing online bookings and ticket sales

Ballie Ballerson is one of London’s most Instagrammable venues, attracting thousands of visitors per week with their novel combination of cocktails and adult sized ball pits. Though Ballie Ballerson have seen huge growth since their launch, a new website was needed to drive further market awareness in key target segments.

Digital strategy

Ballie Ballerson regularly host hen dos, stag dos, work parties, birthdays and a range of other group social events. To drive sales and revenue there was a clear business case for targeting these group activities through more targeted digital marketing.

To de-risk the project and maximise our success we undertook a ‘win strategy’ approach; reviewing each target set of keywords, reviewing competitive metrics, and measuring our ability to deliver results.

Post-launch website results

Ballie Ballerson wanted to increase their ticket sales online by increasing their visibility in Google and converting more web visitors into paying customers.

Improved experience

Ticket information

Booking integration

To unify their bookings Ballie Ballerson use a platform called Design My Night. We customised and styled this integration point to be visually consistent with their website and brand.

SEO landing pages

By creating targeted landing pages for high-volume search terms and aligning content to inbound visitor traffic, we reduced bounce rate by 24%.

Enabling their marketing team

The website has been built with a highly flexible, customised WordPress CMS that enables the marketing team at Ballie Ballerson to create new landing pages, page layouts and content with ease.

In addition to the usual pages, components and custom booking features, Ballie Ballerson also needed the ability to create new locations and venues as part of their exciting business expansion plan.
