Referral & Repeat-Visit Campaigns Built for Arcades

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. We work from a CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list exactly as it is. We review and segment by recency and happy customers who could refer, plan the campaign with you, and you sign off on every message before outreach.","question":"Can you run a referral campaign for my arcade using my existing player list?"},{"answer":"No. There is no software to buy or learn. Replies route into your existing booking process and we run the outreach in your business name.","question":"Do I have to buy software or change my booking system?"},{"answer":"We work only from lists of real customers, honor opt-outs immediately, and follow all calling and texting regulations. Booking flow collects explicit consent.","question":"How do you handle compliance for calls and texts to players?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies as soon as the first wave goes out. Review responses are delivered every week and follow up continues with seasonal reminders.","question":"How long does a referral and repeat-visit campaign take for an arcade?"},{"answer":"This is done-for-you reactivation run by our team on your behalf with owner approval on every script and message. No per-seat or software pricing, and outreach is permission-based reactivation of known customers rather than cold acquisition.","question":"How is this different from a DIY email tool or social ads?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free list review and segment","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We review and segment your player list by recency, past visits, and happy customers who could refer, and quote setup and outreach minutes."},{"step":"2","title":"Approve messages and offers","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We plan the referral and repeat-visit campaign together.

You approve every script, offer, and message before anything is sent, and outreach stays warm, patient, and relationship-first so your arcade's name stays welcome in their inbox and on their phone.","proof_point":"Referred customers show about 16% higher lifetime value — Wharton School study"},{"icon":"Shield","title":"No software, no per-seat pricing","gradient":"from-cyan-400 to-purple-400","description":"Your arcade's customer list works exactly as it is — whether that's your POS system's guest history, a spreadsheet of past birthday party bookings, or a CRM export of game card holders. There's no software to buy or learn, no per-seat pricing, and texts and emails aren't billed separately — the quote from your free list review covers the full campaign mix, so you know your rate before spending a dollar.","proof_point":"Median advocacy rate is about 19% across 400 referral programs on Extole's platform"},{"icon":"TrendingUp","title":"Real humans handle judgment, automation handles scale","gradient":"from-green-500 to-blue-500","description":"When a parent replies asking about party packages or a lapsed regular responds to a win-back offer, real humans handle that conversation with judgment — automation handles the scale, people handle the nuance.

Without permission-based follow-up, your game card swipes slow down, your party bookings thin out, and the customer list sitting in your POS system goes dormant — even though those players already know your games, your prizes, and your staff."},{"icon":"Users","stat":"84%","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"84% of People Trust Friends and Family — But Arcade Referrals Rarely Happen on Their Own","description":"84% of people trust friends and family for accurate brand information, and personal recommendations are among the most powerful drivers of where families choose to spend a Saturday. Arcades run on word of mouth — birthday party parents telling other parents, regulars bringing coworkers for a night out — yet happy players are almost never asked at the right moment. Without a structured ask, your best advocates simply never think to refer."},{"icon":"DollarSign","stat":"5-25x","color":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","title":"Filling Your Floor With New Players Costs 5 to 25 Times More Than Bringing Back Regulars","description":"Acquiring a new customer can cost five to 25 times more than retaining one, and only 2% of consumers find traditional advertisements important — a tough equation for arcades spending on local ads and social posts to attract first-time visitors. Meanwhile, referred customers show about 16% higher lifetime value, meaning the families your existing players bring in tend to spend more on game cards, parties, and return visits over time."}],"quickWins":["Segment your list by recency at the free list review — families from last year's birthday parties, league and regular players gone quiet for 6 months, and game card holders inactive 12+ months — so each group gets a reason to reconnect that matches how they know your arcade.","Time referral asks to your happiest moments: post-party thank-you messages to parents right after a successful birthday event, and post-visit follow-ups to group night organizers — when enthusiasm is highest and a referral feels natural, not forced."],"subheadline":"Get a done-for-you reactivation and referral campaign built for arcades, approved by you and run by us.","problemTitle":"The Hidden Costs Killing Arcade Growth","testimonials":[{"quote":"We had years of birthday party families and game card holders sitting in our POS system doing nothing.
