Don’t Forget the Furniture | “I Like To Move It Move It”

iStock-1048935522As we are gradually beginning to see shelter-in-place restrictions loosen and businesses begin to reopen, it is still important to practice social distancing and other CDC recommendations to help avoid a second wave of COVID-19. The QubicaAMF Reopening Marketing Kit has many pieces that make it easy to show customers your dedication to their safety.

With reopening restrictions being different from location to location and each center layout being unique, at times it’s tricky to accommodate leagues, groups and even open play while adhering to restrictions. However, Harmony Infinity furniture makes it easy to quickly change furniture to become compliant or be able to accommodate a group that you might otherwise have to turn away due to the social distancing restrictions. Allowing a group to have input on the arrangement of the furniture provides them the confidence their guests will be safe, comfortable and able to fully enjoy the experience.

As with our homes, often times we like the arrangement of our furniture, so we never bother to rearrange it. Don’t fall into this behavior at the center. Harmony Infinity furniture was designed to give you the ability to rearrange quickly, look great and offer an environment that is comfortable and safe for the guests.

Hidden Gems of BES X | YouToons

Hidden Gems 2

BES X is a robust entertainment system and when coupled with Conqueror Pro you are equipped with a vast number of features and tools that can be leveraged to enhance the customer’s experience AND employee experience. However, sometimes these amazing gems are not discovered right away or the true value is not being realized because they are being underutilized.

Today’s customers have very specific needs and when those needs are catered to, as they are by utilizing BES X and Conqueror Pro, the customers stay in the center longer and come back more often.

When these memorable experiences happen, the customer often give YOU something in return…a good review on Yelp or they post a short video showing their friends on social media how much fun they had at your center. This organic form of advertising, often referred to as User Generated Content or UGC is extremely valuable…it is what today’s customers believe and act upon.

The true beauty of BES X is that the system has features, along with ConquerorPro that truly have appeal to today’s customer and even today’s employees for that matter and helps you create what I call “Insta worth” experiences…you know if you’ve made it to Instagram, it had to be fun!

We will be doing a series called Hidden Gems of BES X and Conqueror Pro over the next few weeks to share with you a few features that you likely already have in your system but perhaps have forgotten about or not yet discovered…or never thought about using in a particular way.

Like all other gems, these features are valuable and contribute to your overall success.

Groups are huge revenue generators. Fulfilling or exceeding the expectations of a unique, personalized experience is rewarded with the willingness to provide great advertising in the form of user generated content (UGC) like reviews or social media posts.

This authentic user generated content is better than any paid advertising you can purchase. There are a number of hidden gems within BES X that gives your center a competitive advantage and provides unique selling points (USP) that should be leveraged when marketing to groups.

The first hidden gem we are featuring on BES Xtras is YouToons. YouToons is one of my favorite features to use with groups and actually has several gems within it.

YOUTOONS CATEGORIES

Since YouToons animations are categorized by Kids, Spicy and Corporate, this is an appropriate feature for ALL groups. This makes is possible to tailor the experience for the specific group.

YOUTOONS BOSS FEATURE

Another wonderful thing about YouToons is the Boss feature. This feature allows groups to designate the boss in the party and as a result, there are special animations for that person of authority. Naturally, this is great for corporate parties but it also has many other applications such as teacher, coach, principal, retiree being honored, etc.

YOUTOONS GROUP PHOTO

Did you know that YouToons souvenir photo can include everyone in the group? That’s right, by selecting all the lanes in the group that are using the YouToons environment, the system will pull all the animation together for a group photo. This hidden gem is awesome and groups love when they get a keepsake of their event.   Just a little hint. When you print this group photo, do so on paper that you have added your center logo so you get ongoing publicity.
