How a Premier Beach Club Transformed Weekend Visitors Into Weekday Revenue
Introduction:
This case study examines how a premier beach club destination transformed its business model by strategically converting weekend visitors into weekday guests using Affinect's customer engagement platform. By implementing targeted WiFi-powered campaigns, the venue generated $64,000 in incremental quarterly revenue while dramatically increasing weekday foot traffic.
The Challenge:
Untapped Weekday Revenue Potential
The beach club faced a classic hospitality challenge: while weekends consistently attracted up to 3,000 visitors for concerts and special events, weekdays saw dramatically lower footfall. This created multiple business challenges:
Without a data-driven strategy to bridge this gap, the venue was missing significant revenue opportunities while its valuable facilities remained underutilized five days per week.
Valuable beachfront space sitting empty during weekdays
Underutilized Premium Facilities:
Revenue Concentration Risk:
Heavy dependence on weekend performance
Weekend-only visitors represented a fraction of potential visit frequency
Limited Customer Lifetime Value:
Marketing Disconnection:
No systematic way to re-engage weekend visitors during less busy periods
- 12-week promotional calendar specifically targeting weekend-to-weekday conversion
- Time-sensitive offer: Single complimentary entry valid for any weekday (Monday-Thursday) within a 30-day redemption window
- Clear redemption deadline creating urgency while providing flexible usage options
- Personalized content based on visitor data and preferences
Strategic Campaign Design:
Automated WiFi Data Capture and Deployment:
- Collected visitor contact information from 3,000+ weekend visitors through guest WiFi connections
- Segmented visitors based on visit patterns and engagement history
- Deployed automated promotional campaigns every Monday morning to weekend visitors
With Affinect's visitor engagement platform, the venue implemented a targeted data-driven approach:
