Customer Win-Back Campaigns for Sports Bars

{"faqs":[{"answer":"A customer win-back campaign is built for exactly this. We segment your guest list by recency — 30 days, 6 months, 12+ months — and reconnect with lapsed customers using a genuine reason to return, like an upcoming fight night or playoff run. Every message is approved by you first, and replies route back into your booking process for tables and watch parties. Campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies as soon as the first wave goes out.","question":"How can I get former regulars to come back before the next UFC fight or NFL playoffs at my sports bar?"},{"answer":"No. CallMyCustomers is fully done-for-you and works from your CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list exactly as it is. There's no software to buy or learn, no per-seat pricing, and texts and emails are folded into your quote rather than billed separately. You approve the campaign; we run it.","question":"Do I need to buy new software or change my point-of-sale system to run these campaigns?"},{"answer":"The outreach is permission-based and designed to feel useful, not pushy — we lead with a real reason to reconnect, like game-day specials or a big event coming up, rather than a generic blast. We only work from lists of real customers, opt-outs are honored immediately, and all calling and texting regulations are followed. You approve every script and offer before anything is sent.","question":"Will customers be annoyed by win-back texts and calls from my bar?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies coming in as soon as the first wave goes out. Before any fee, we do a free list review that shows your rate, setup cost, and what your list can realistically produce. Pricing is a flat one-time setup based on list size, plus outreach minutes at 9¢–21¢ per minute that step down as monthly volume grows — for example, 2,000 minutes costs $180 at 9¢ versus $420 at 21¢.","question":"How fast will I see results, and what does it cost?"},{"answer":"Ads chase strangers; we reactivate people who already know and liked your bar. Reactivating a customer is roughly 5x cheaper than acquiring one, and about 60% of revenue often comes from repeat customers. Unlike DIY email blasts, our team makes actual calls on your behalf, sends texts and emails in your name, and routes every reply into your booking process — with real humans handling the judgment calls, not just automation.","question":"How is this different from running my own email blasts or paying for ads to attract new guests?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your guest list — CRM, spreadsheet, or POS export, exactly as it is.
