Silver Strike Lanes in Gardnerville Nevada reports 2,581 new bowler visits generated from their Merchant Coupon program.

Centers report that the average coupon user spends $10 on shoes, paid games, F&B, ancillaries, plus they rarely bowl alone. In addition to the revenue the coupons drive in, the new owners at the center are rebuilding their customer email list by collecting email addresses from the back of the coupons. BMA's included Data Entry feature (www.mcpde.bmamkt.com) and Email Coupon service (www.mcpec.bmamkt.com) help with monthly email marketing at no extra cost.
