Introduction

Sincronía Deportiva produces marathons in Buenos Aires and La Plata. They needed total control over their brand, immediate liquidity for logistics, and a checkout system that asks for t-shirt sizes. With Fanz, they obtained their own domain, local payments, and a referral program that turned runners into promoters.

The challenge: Eventbrite limited growth

Key problems

  • Domain and branding by Eventbrite → little differentiation.

  • Funds withheld until after the race.

  • Rigid checkout: it did not allow asking for sizes or customizing emails.

  • No referral program → depended on costly ads.

The Fanz solution: autonomy + viral marketing

Domain and Mercado Pago payments

  • Sales on tickets.sincroniadeportiva.com.ar.

  • Money available instantly for t-shirts, barriers, and timing.

Customizable checkout

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

  • Post-purchase email with kit pickup instructions.

Integrated referral program

  • Unique link after purchase.

  • Automatic reimbursement: 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).

  • Open rate 42%.
