How Cartier Digitized and Scaled Its Events Strategy with Eventtia

Cartier is the world's leading luxury brand, with more than 200 stores and 10,000 employees operating in 125 countries. Each year, the company organizes thousands of in-person and virtual events spanning two main categories: consumer and luxury events, such as store openings, product launches, and art exhibitions; and corporate events, including executive meetings and philanthropic initiatives.

Among Cartier's flagship events are the Beautés du Monde high-jewelry launches, the Cartier Women's Initiative, the European Artistic Crafts Days, and exclusive flagship store openings hosted in major cities worldwide.

In early 2024, as the demand for events organization continued to grow, Cartier selected Eventtia's all-in-one event management platform to help the brand digitize, optimize, and scale its global event activity.

INITIAL CHALLENGES Digitizing, simplifying, and scaling events across the company

As Cartier expanded its global event operations, the management team sought the most effective way to streamline processes, improve collaboration, and optimize costs across the organization.

To meet these objectives, Cartier was looking for a highly customizable, all-in-one event management software capable of incorporating the brand's identity guidelines, integrating seamlessly with the company's CRM, and providing top-tier customer support.

More than just a digital solution, Cartier was searching for a long-term strategic technology partner. One that could offer the flexibility and agility needed to adapt to the company's evolving business needs and ambitious global roadmap.

THE SOLUTION A robust platform for digitizing and scaling events globally

Eventtia's all-in-one event management software offered Cartier the full range of capabilities required to support its global strategy, including event registrations, on-site check-in, event mobile apps, a virtual event platform, and reporting integrated with Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

Customizable registration forms, event pages, emails, and apps, integrated directly into the Cartier.com domain, enable the brand to deliver premium, omnichannel experiences while preserving its prestigious image at every touchpoint.

Three core elements made Eventtia the right fit for Cartier:

• A scalable, white-labeled event management platform: Marketing teams and event coordinators can now plan, promote, and analyze events globally from a single, easy-to-use platform. Customizable event pages, registration forms, emails, and mobile apps are all integrated directly into the Cartier.com domain, ensuring a premium, on-brand experience at every touchpoint.
• Seamless CRM integration with Salesforce Marketing Cloud: Eventtia's platform automatically synchronizes attendee data with Cartier's Salesforce Marketing Cloud, eliminating manual data entry and saving time for all teams. This integration strengthened Cartier's ability to understand customer journeys and boost engagement throughout the lifecycle.
• Advanced personalization and appointment booking: For exclusive exhibitions and product launches, customers can book individual time slots through the registration experience, ensuring visits aligned with the standards of luxury hospitality. Multi-lingual capabilities further allow Cartier to deliver registration pages, communications, and attendee experiences in any language, welcoming customers from every market.

Deploying a centralized solution integrated with Salesforce Marketing Cloud presented Cartier's IT team with unique challenges, requiring extensive customization, advanced data management, and stringent brand control.

To meet these needs, Eventtia and Cartier co-developed an implementation roadmap tailored to the company's structure and goals, supported by a customized training program and dedicated customer success services.

The platform also supports the full attendee experience: event communications, automated reminders, on-site check-in via the Eventtia Check-in App, and post-event satisfaction surveys.
