Why Local Businesses Win

Real attention. Zero competitor noise. Pure local impact.

When you sponsor a Krowd game, you are not fighting an algorithm for a fraction of a second. You own the room while locals are having fun with friends and family.

100% Competitor Lockout

You are the only provider in your trade featured on the board. One plumber, one realtor, one roofer. Your direct competitors are completely locked out of the venue.

You Provide The Prize, You Drive The Crowd

As the official sponsor, you provide the grand prize or gift cards. The better and more exciting your prize, the more local customers play the game and visit the restaurant every single week to see your brand.

Email, Social Media, and Push Notification Placement

Your business is prominently featured in venue social media posts, weekly player recap emails, and live push notifications whenever game picks open and rankings update.

45 to 90 Minutes of Continuous Eyes

Diners are not scrolling away. They check big screens, track scores on phones, and see your business continuously throughout their entire meal.

Direct alerts pop up on player mobile lock screens reminding them when picks open, bonus points unlock, and final standings post, co-branded with your business.

4. Email & Social Posts

Weekly game recaps delivered to player inboxes and official host venue social media posts prominently showcase your business as the presenting sponsor.

5. Sponsor-Powered Prizes

You supply the rewards or gift certificates. A higher value prize motivates larger crowds of diners to compete and visit the venue every week to see your message.

Bounce-Back Strategy

Red Envelope Campaign

With full POS integration, turn the busiest month of the year into a magnet for the slow month that follows. This digital promotion captures customers when the restaurant is packed and brings them back when business drops off. One person wins an advertiser-sponsored Grand Prize, and since everyone else wins a reward of various values, every guest has a reason to return. Automated push notifications and follow-up emails urge patrons to come back in and reveal their prize during the slow month, placing your business directly in front of them again.

  • Bridges the gap from busy to slow months
  • Sponsor grand prize generates strong community excitement
  • Automated email and push notification reminders drive visits

Gamified Menu Exploration

Mini Tour

Most guests fall into a rut and order the same item every visit. The Mini Tour turns the menu into a game where guests earn points toward an advertiser-provided prize each time they sample featured appetizers or seasonal drinks. It turns dining into an interactive challenge that keeps customers coming back until they complete the tour. As the category sponsor, your brand is prominently displayed on the mobile progress board and in ongoing tour updates.

  • Gets guests to explore the menu and return regularly
  • Sponsor prize motivates diners to complete the entire challenge
  • Repeated mobile impressions on every menu check

Bracket Challenge

Turn March tournament basketball into a reason to visit every round. Guests fill out tournament brackets, earn points for correct picks, and climb the leaderboard as the action unfolds. In-person check-ins unlock bonus points, and the advertiser provides the championship grand prize. The bigger the prize you offer, the more tournament fans choose this venue over staying home. Round-by-round email reminders, mobile push alerts, and social posts keep your brand front and center for three consecutive weeks.

  • Drives customer traffic for three full tournament weeks
  • Advertiser championship prize fuels high competitive interest
  • Branded round-by-round emails, push alerts, and social posts

Call The Shots On Featured Games

Prop-Bet Challenge

Instead of just watching the broadcast, guests call the shots. Prop-Bet turns high-profile games into interactive predictions where people guess the next play on their phone: run or pass, touchdown or field goal. When guests hit target scores, they unlock rewards provided by your business. Providing an attractive sponsor prize keeps guests seated through the 4th quarter, and real-time push notifications alert patrons when new props open.

  • Guests stay seated until they reach target winning scores
  • Advertiser prize drives high customer participation
  • Instant prize reveals keep engagement high during the entire game

Countdown Challenge

Countdown turns one-time diners into regular customers. You set a goal, such as 'Eat 5 Specialty Burgers' or '12 Beers of the Season', and patrons track progress on their phones. Enforced point caps per visit require guests to return on multiple separate dates to claim the advertiser prize. By sponsoring a high-appeal grand reward, your company is positioned as the benefactor behind this repeat dining routine.

  • Guarantees multiple return customer visits
  • High-value sponsor prize creates strong finish incentive
  • Progress push notifications keep your brand top of mind
