The objective was crystal clear: increase revenue by expanding Bowling Venray’s brand awareness. Martijn explains:
“We’ve been around for 40 years, but after facing a crisis and the changes that followed, it was time to reposition ourselves. Many people in the region still saw us as the same traditional bowling center from 20 years ago, but that’s no longer who we are. We wanted to change that perception.”
Another challenge was to make visitors aware that Bowling Venray offers much more than just bowling—it’s a complete experience.
To achieve these goals, we developed a targeted online marketing strategy:
Social media & Google campaigns
With eye-catching ads, we showcased Bowling Venray’s refreshed identity to the target audience. In addition to general branding campaigns, we ran specific campaigns for kids’ parties and combination deals, tapping into the needs of different customer groups.
Seasonal approach
Bowling Venray experiences seasonal fluctuations, so we tailored our campaign planning to align with both peak and off-peak periods.
“Even during less busy weeks, we’ve seen a significant increase in visitors,” says Martijn.
