O’Brien Icehouse

New website and huge eCommerce boost for O'Brien IcehouseHospitality/Entertainment/Leisure

The project

Brand new website massively boosts ticket sales, makes communication between staff a breeze and perfectly integrates with all current management systems.

The puzzle

The O’Brien Group manages a large number of event spaces and facilities across Australia, including the prestigious O’Brien Icehouse in Melbourne. The client needed a new-and-improved website that could refine their extensive calendar of events into a straightforward ticketing process, flawlessly integrated with their on-site ticketing system. The website for O’Brien Icehouse had to be visually appealing, ensuring that visitors could easily book tickets and find exactly what they needed. They also needed a robust web platform that could cope with heavy seasonal traffic.

 

The solution

Working alongside the O’Brien software team, SBM created a solution that was intuitive and simple for visitors and site managers. The final product: a stunning new website, with a purchase process for online ticket sales tailored specifically for O’Brien Icehouse. SBM’s solution was dynamically integrated with their on-site management software, ensuring that it met the exact needs of the client. This included a user interface that was easy for the O’Brien team to configure from the back end, while providing a smooth, intuitive experience for visitors to the site.

Purchases made simple, through a really innovative online calendar

The results

Once the new website was launched, O’Brien Icehouse patrons were able to easily purchase tickets online and scan barcodes at the gate – a totally integrated system that allowed for easy back-end management and staff communication.
The new website saw a 50% increase in online ticket sales, a 200% increase in guest traffic and a 25% reduction in website bounce rate. When O’Brien Icehouse hosted a benefit event for those affected by the 2020 Australian bushfires, the result was 10x the regular website traffic and thousands of extra ticket sales.
