PeeknPlay Success Story

About the Customer

PeeknPlay is a vibrant indoor play area located in Texas, USA, catering to families with children aged 2-10. Offering a diverse range of attractions, including slides, ball pits, climbing structures, and arcade games, PeeknPlay aims to provide a fun and safe environment for children to play and explore.

Key Challenges

1. Event Scheduling without Overlapping Parties

● Digital Calendar Integration: Implement a centralized digital calendar and scheduling system that is accessible to both staff and customers through an online portal. This system should include real-time availability updates to prevent double bookings and allow for efficient scheduling of events.

● Automated Conflict Resolution: Utilize algorithms that can automatically suggest alternative time slots in case of a scheduling conflict, ensuring that parties do not overlap and resources are optimally utilized.

2. Promote Unbooked Parties

● Dynamic Pricing and Promotion: Implement dynamic pricing models where unbooked time slots are offered at a discounted rate as the time approaches. This can be coupled with real-time promotions through social media and email marketing to attract last-minute bookings.

● Themed Daily Plays: Introduce themed daily play sessions for unbooked slots, which can be marketed as special events. Themes can be rotated or scheduled based on popularity and seasonality to keep the offerings fresh and enticing.

3. Avoiding No-Show

● Prepayment and Deposits: Require a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to discourage no-shows. The deposit can be a percentage of the total booking cost.

● Reminder and Confirmation System: Implement an automated reminder system that sends out email and SMS notifications to customers ahead of their booked time. Include an easy confirmation button/link that customers can use to confirm their attendance.

4. Leveraging Online Waiver Submissions

● Integrated Waiver Management System: An online waiver submission system that connects directly with both party bookings and daily play registrations. This system should store customer information securely and make it easy to retrieve and verify waivers upon check-in.

● Digital Waiver Tablet: Provide tablets at the venue for quick digital waiver submissions or confirmations, complementing online submissions to ensure compliance and safety for all participants.

● Outdated Website and Lack of Integration: Content was static. Integrate LEAP360’s platform to automate operations, streamline processes, and enhance efficiency across all business areas.

● Limited Customer Insights: Leverage LEAP360’s data analytics tools for comprehensive insights into customer behavior and preferences, enabling tailored marketing and improved engagement.

● Engagement and Repeat Visitors: Utilize LEAP360’s marketing automation features to create targeted campaigns and loyalty programs that boost visitor retention and encourage repeat visits.

● Entrance Wait Times: Implement LEAP360’s fast-tracked check-in system to minimize entrance wait times, pre-verify visitor information, and enhance the overall visitor experience.

● Visitor Capacity Management: Use LEAP360’s real-time visitor tracking tools to monitor and manage visitor capacity effectively, especially during peak hours, ensuring a balanced and enjoyable environment.
