2The Pitch
"Hi [Name], love this venue! Quick question - what are your weekday numbers like compared to weekends?
Most entertainment venues are packed Saturday, empty Tuesday. But your fixed costs don't change, right?
We've built something to fix that. When families visit, they earn 10% back in Nuqta coins. When their kid's birthday comes up, we remind them. When they're bored on a Tuesday evening, we push a notification: 'Double coins at [Your Venue] today!'
Suddenly that empty Tuesday has a reason to visit. And they keep coming back because they have coins to spend.
You pay 15-20% on Nuqta sales. But you're filling empty slots - that's almost pure profit. Want to see the numbers?"
3Objection Handling
"We're already on Entertainer"
Entertainer gives 50% off once. That's it. Nuqta builds relationships - customers earn every visit and keep coming back. Plus, Entertainer devalues your brand. Nuqta is rewards, not discounts.
"15-20% is too much"
Compare to Groupon taking 50%. And we bring repeat customers, not one-time deal seekers. At 65% margin, you still keep 45%+ profit on Nuqta sales.
"Entertainment is impulse - people don't plan"
True! But when they're deciding where to go on Saturday, coins at YOUR venue tip the decision. And our push notifications catch them in that decision moment.
"Our weekends are already full"
Perfect! Let's fill your weekdays. Nuqta's targeted campaigns drive traffic to slow periods. Double coins on Tuesday? Suddenly Tuesday is interesting.
"Families only come for birthdays"
That's leaving money on the table. With Nuqta, birthday visitors become regular visitors. They have coins to spend - why not use them on a random weekend?
"We have our own loyalty app"
Does it bring NEW customers? Nuqta has 500K+ users looking for things to do. They can discover YOUR venue. Your app only works for existing customers.
"Netflix and home gaming are the real competition"
Exactly! You need a reason for families to leave the house. Nuqta coins give them that reason. "Earn rewards" beats "stay home" for many families.
"We do corporate events, not consumers"
Engine C is perfect for events - just 3-5% commission on ticket sales. Plus, the employees at those companies are Nuqta users - turn corporate events into personal visits.
"Seasonal variations are too big"
That's why Nuqta helps! We run holiday campaigns, school break promotions, weekend pushes. Our marketing aligns with your peak seasons AND helps fill the slow ones.
"Let me think about it after the summer/winter"
Holidays are coming! Get set up now, run double-coin campaigns, and capture those vacation visitors. They'll return when school starts too.
4Closing the Deal
The Weekday Close
"Your weekends are full, but Tuesdays are empty. What if I could fill 30% of those empty Tuesday slots at almost pure profit? That's what Nuqta does."
The Holiday Close
"School holidays start in [X weeks]. Get set up now, run family fun campaigns, and capture all those families looking for things to do."
