Email marketing

Turn past customers into future bookings.

Your customer database is one of the most valuable assets your business owns. Used responsibly, it fills quieter periods, increases party bookings and keeps your venue front of mind.

Why it works

The cheapest booking is the one from a customer you already have.

Attracting a new customer through advertising costs money every single time. Emailing a family who visited last summer costs almost nothing and converts far more readily.

We help PALI members use booking data responsibly to encourage repeat visits, promote parties, fill quieter periods and increase awareness of seasonal events, memberships and special offers.

The market

Your previous customers are one of your most valuable audiences.

Unlike a social following, your opted-in email database is an audience your business can communicate with directly. Birthday reminders, school-holiday campaigns, seasonal events, post-visit follow-ups and lapsed-customer campaigns can help turn one visit into an ongoing customer relationship.
