Introduction

Sincronía Deportiva produces marathons in Buenos Aires and La Plata. They needed full control over their brand, instant liquidity for logistics, and a checkout that asked for T-shirt sizes. With Fanz, they got their own domain, local payments, and a referral program that turned runners into promoters.

The challenge: Eventbrite limited growth

Key problems

  • Eventbrite domain and branding → low differentiation.

  • Funds held until after the race.

  • Rigid checkout: couldn’t ask for sizes or customize emails.

  • No referral program → relied on expensive ads.

The Fanz solution: autonomy + viral marketing

Domain and Mercado Pago payments

  • Sales at tickets.sincroniadeportiva.com.ar.

  • Instant funds for shirts, barriers, and timing systems.

Customizable checkout

  • Optional fields: T-shirt size, age group, running club.

  • Post-purchase email with kit pick-up instructions.

Integrated referral program

  • Unique link after purchase.

  • Automatic refund: 30%, 50%, or 100% depending on referred volume (configurable).

  • +10% average registrations since launch.

AI remarketing

  • Emails segmented by city and distance (5K / 10K / 21K).

  • 42% open rate.
