amiando Launches its New Ticket Shop and Improves the Purchasing Process for Customers

MUNICH, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

amiando (http://www.amiando.com), the worldwide Software-as-a-Service platform for online event registration and ticketing, launched its new ticket shop today and thereby improved the purchase process for customers in two steps.  

Improved Usability: The Ticket Shop has a New Design

The new ticket shop is a further milestone in amiando's company timeline.  Numerous user tests have led to a new design and a user-friendly interface, which not only simplifies both the order and payment processes, but also makes them safer.  Through the simplification of the buying process, organisers are able to sell more tickets, and the conversion rate will likely increase. All ticket shops will benefit from these numerous improvements, both those on amiando event websites and those that have been embedded by iFrame or pop-up in external websites.

"We are looking forward to being able to offer our customers a more user-friendly ticket shop.  We responded to the needs of our 80,000 event organisers by developing this optimized approach and design of our new ticket shop," said Maik Wiege, Product Owner at amiando.

What's next in 2013

amiando is improving the purchase process for its customers in two separate steps.  The new ticket shop was the first step.  In a second improvement, customer emails will be modified to match the new ticket shop and optimized for mobile devices.  "We are proud that we can deliver this new improvement. With XING as a parent company, we have had the opportunity to develop more innovative products and offer our customers an even better service," Norbert Stockmann, the CEO of amiando.
