+480% increase in ticket sales: how NOCKNOCK grew to become one of the most popular art fairs in the Netherlands

With over 10,000 visitors, a 480% increase in ticket sales, and an ROI of 8.89, NOCKNOCK Art Fair 2024 was a resounding success. Until 2024, NOCKNOCK sold most of its tickets at the door unpredictable and inefficient. Our goal: to digitise the art fair, scale it up, and make it more profitable. The result? 10,000 visitors. Thanks to a smart combination of branding, targeting, and optimisation, the art fair in Amsterdam became not only bigger, but also more efficient and more profitable.
“The collaboration went smoothly. Boest took the time to work with us on finding the right approach and was always easy to reach. Every two weeks, we had a check-in to discuss progress and whether anything extra was needed. It was also reassuring to have two points of contact at all times, which meant we always received a quick response.”

Approach

Our approach

Our goal was clear: shift from ad-hoc door sales to a structured online pre-sale approach. This gave the organisation earlier insight into visitor numbers and greater control over campaign performance. Through a carefully constructed funnel, we reached potential visitors at multiple touchpoints from awareness to conversion. The result: more online purchases than in previous years.

By cleverly using audience data from both artists and previous visitors, we reached exactly the people most likely to be interested in NOCKNOCK. Lookalike audiences and retargeting ensured maximum reach with minimal waste of the media budget.

By combining storytelling, strong visuals, and smart timing, we ensured NOCKNOCK stayed top-of-mind. And it paid off: the number of tickets bought in advance increased by over 50% compared to on-the-door sales. In doing so, we not only boosted the event itself, but also laid the groundwork for a loyal fanbase.
