1. Build Live Events with Purpose
As you're developing your retail activation strategy, plan your retail events around major sporting events are coming up and will appeal to sports fans or potential bettors.
Whether it's a UFC fight, a horse race, or a boxing match, think about the high-profile events that tend to draw crowds.
At a minimum, these events will attract betting-inclined attendees, who might be convinced to make their first bet.
But more likely, you'll bring in existing sports bettors that are eager to place a wager on the big game or event of the day.
2. Capture Data
In retail settings, there's a huge opportunity to capture valuable data about your patrons.
If you're hosting a watch party, you can get information about your attendees before the event even begins by asking them to register for a free (or low-cost) ticket.
With that simple transaction, you'll get a better picture of who they are, including where they live and which sports they care about.
On non-event days, you can use unique QR codes at different locations within your venue to capture data about who's visiting, what they're watching, and what time they're on-site.
Both scenarios offer an easy way to identify unknown patrons, and in some cases, begin permission-based marketing relationships with them.
3. Look Ahead for VIP Experiences
VIPs have always been a vital segment for betting operators.
To keep your VIPs feeling special and maintain the relationship, you need to engage with them regularly -- and retail settings are the perfect way to do it.
Retail venues allow you to create tangible and memorable experiences, which is ideal for engaging VIP clientele.
Whether you're offering exclusive events or establishing VIP-only sections within your venue, these types of immersive experiences will keep your most prominent patrons satisfied.
