Grace, your ticket sales agent, texts every supporter when a drawing opens, thanks them when it closes, catches the quiet lapse, and escalates sponsors and big questions to your team.

The playbook runs on moments like these, every one in your organization's voice, from your approved playbook.

After the draw · the thank-you8:30 PMPlay the supporter: you bought one ticket last spring and went quiet. Watch what comes back. Try a sponsor offer too, she hands it to a human instead of winging it.
Your whole buyer list on one board, risk-scored from silence, skipped drawings, and declined cards. Grace works the drifting ones; your staff only step in when it matters.

Every play runs in your organization's voice, escalates to your team when it matters, and writes itself to the log.
Every supporter gets a personal invitation the moment a drawing opens, tied to the cause the tickets fund. Nobody has to remember to come back; Grace remembers for them.
Impact texts land between drawings: here is what the season's tickets did for the families of fallen riders, in one message. Buyers who see results don't drift.
Relationship texts with nothing attached: a ride weekend, a winner's story, the anniversary of a first ticket. When the next drawing opens, it isn't the only time they hear from you.
Grace watches the skipped drawing, the silence, the declined card. Win-back starts gentle and grades up, so the buyer is invited back before they're gone for good.
Underneath the plays: subscription tickets that keep supporters in every drawing, rules and tax questions routed to your team, and win-back outreach for buyers who already lapsed.
Your organization runs the drawing; Grace sells the tickets. It never improvises on rules, odds, or taxes, never negotiates with a sponsor, and adds nothing to your staff's to-do list until something genuinely needs them.
Grace says only what your team has approved. No invented rules, no improvised promises about odds or prizes, ever.
Sponsor offers, press questions, complaints, and anything about rules, odds, or taxes: routed to your staff immediately, never handled by the agent.
Consent, STOP handling, and quiet hours enforced by the engine itself, not by a policy document.

✓ The outcome every play above is built forConfirm them from ticket one. Keep them through every drawing. Win back the ones who slip. Priced so the math does the selling.
Average ticket spend = total ticket revenue divided by buyers on your list. A few tickets a year lands near $50-150; subscription and multi-book buyers run higher. Set the slider to your own number.
Every $1 you put into Grace comes back as $3.80 of kept ticket revenue.
Why two in three? Because our AI already converts at that rate for existing clients. The math above assumes Grace matches it on your buyer list, keeping two of every three would-be lapsed buyers buying.
Acquiring a new ticket buyer often costs more than their first ticket returns. At $1 a month, one saved $120 buyer covers a year of Grace for ten supporters, and every lapse you prevent also saves the cost of replacing them.
