Restaurants
Trial visits, larger tickets and repeat covers without deep discount.
Industry intelligence
Occupancy, restaurant traffic, guest experience, social sharing — the physics of hospitality promotions.
Occupancy
Weather- and event-triggered guarantees convert 'we might' into 'we booked'.
Restaurant traffic
Instant-win mechanics inside the venue lift dwell and beverage attach.
Guest experience
A live reveal is the single most shareable moment on a resort day.
Social sharing
Every guest is already a content creator; a prize moment gives them the reason.
By the numbers
- Booking uplift, weather-refund campaign
- +15–25%
- UGC volume, on-site vault activation
- ×3–5 vs standard week
Playbook
- Tie the promise to something objective — weather, match result, milestone.
- Design the reveal for the phone, not the press release.
- Insure the trigger so a 'bad' outcome for the guest is a paid outcome, not a PR outcome.
