How to Promote the IZI App Among Club Clients

Section titled “How to Promote the IZI App Among Club Clients”

Goal — grow the share of active clients with the app installed. This gives the club: a direct communication channel via notifications, growth in online top-ups, reduced register load during peak hours.

Before launch, record:

  1. Current share of clients with the app — in CRM: Clients → filter by source ‘App’ → count / total active clients in the last 30 days.
  2. Share of app top-ups — in CRM: Analytics → Transactions → source ‘App’ → percentage of all top-ups.
  3. Average top-up amount — record before launching the install bonus, to compare later.

These three numbers are your baseline for measuring results in 4 weeks.

The app download QR code must be where clients are waiting or looking:

LocationWhy It Works
Reception counterClient is waiting — time to pull out the phone
Gaming table at each PCClient looks at the table at the start of a session
Entrance / doorVisible every time entering and leaving
Screensaver on PCVisible when the seat is unoccupied

In CRM: Settings → App → Download QR. Print in A6–A5 format. Laminating extends lifespan — no need to replace monthly.

Minimal effective text:

Download IZI app
[QR]
Top up balance, book a seat,
order from the bar — from your phone

If there’s an install bonus — add it to the poster: “Install — get [N] bonuses.”

The administrator offers the app in two scenarios:

New client at first registration:

“Would you like to register an account in our app? You can top up your balance from your phone, see your bonus account, and order from the bar right from your seat. Takes a minute — the QR is right here.”

Regular client without the app (visible from CRM source — not ‘App’):

“By the way, we have an app — you can top up your balance without queuing. If you’d like, I can show you — literally one minute.”

If the client declined — a tag or note “app offered” can be added in CRM. So the offer isn’t repeated next visit — that’s annoying. The offer is made once, then only the passive environment works (posters).

An automation rule is configured in CRM:

  • Event: first app login (or first app top-up)
  • Action: award N bonuses
  • Bonus expiry: 14–30 days

Guideline: the install bonus should incentivize at least one repeat visit. Parametric formula from your average top-up:

Install bonus ≈ 0.10–0.15 × average top-up amount

Illustrative scenario: if your average top-up is 500 units — a bonus of 50–75 units is noticeable without causing losses. With ~70% margin on gaming time, the real cost to the club is approximately 15–22 units.

How to find your average top-up — in the average check calculation guide.

Short expiry (7–14 days) creates urgency — client returns faster. Long expiry (60+ days) reduces motivation to return specifically now. Optimal: 21–30 days with average visit frequency of once every 1–2 weeks.

Tool 4 — Communication via Notifications

Section titled “Tool 4 — Communication via Notifications”

After installing the app, clients automatically receive notifications — if they granted permission at first launch. This is your direct channel with no mailing services needed.

First notifications after installation build a habit:

  • Reminder about the install bonus awarded
  • Notification about upcoming bonus expiry in [N] days
  • Promotions and special offers

Configured via Automations in the CRM. More details — in App Notifications.

After 4 weeks, compare with baseline:

MetricHow to View in CRM
Share of clients with appClients → source ‘App’ / all active
Share of online top-upsAnalytics → Transactions → source ‘App’
Average top-up for periodAnalytics → period before vs. after comparison
Notification activityAutomations → firing statistics

If the share of clients with the app grew but average check or top-up frequency didn’t — check: is the top-up bonus rule configured? Is the install bonus being awarded? Do clients see the bonus prompt on the top-up screen?

  • No top-up bonus — clients install the app but have no incentive to top up through it. Fix: enable top-up bonus simultaneously with app promotion.
  • Poor in-club Wi-Fi — client can’t download the app on-site. Ensure guest Wi-Fi works stably.
  • Administrator doesn’t offer — without the active script, poster conversion to install is low. Include the app offer in the new client registration checklist.
  • Audience without smartphones — if a significant share of clients come without a smartphone (e.g., younger children), conversion is objectively limited. In this case focus on accompanying adults.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can the share of clients with the app grow?

When launching QR codes + register script + install bonus simultaneously — first results are visible within 1–2 weeks. Organic growth without incentives is significantly slower.

Which install bonus is more effective — fixed or percentage-based?

A fixed bonus is clearer to clients: 'install — get X.' A percentage of the first top-up works better if you want to incentivize both installation and the first top-up simultaneously.

How do I measure how many clients installed the app?

In the CRM Clients section, clients can be filtered by registration source 'App.' The share of such clients from total active clients is the app penetration metric.

Should every client be asked to install the app?

No. The script is used with new clients at first registration and with regulars who don't have the app. Clients who already have an account in the app don't need to be asked.

What if a client says 'I don't have space for a new app'?

The IZI app weighs about 35–45 MB. Response: 'Less than most games, and it saves time every visit.' Don't push — note it in the system and offer again at the next visit.

Do QR codes need to be updated?

App download QR codes are static — no updates needed. QR codes for bar ordering at gaming seats are linked to specific PCs — replace them if the seating arrangement changes.

How to promote the app without annoying regular clients?

Offer once at a convenient moment, record the response. Clients who declined don't receive repeat offers from the administrator — only unobtrusive posters in the hall.

Do posters work without a register script?

Posters work as background reminders, but their conversion to install is low without an active offer. The combination of poster + register script + bonus gives significantly better results.

How to enable an install bonus in IZI?

Via Automations in the CRM: event 'First app login' → action 'Award N bonuses.' Recommended bonus expiry: 14–30 days to incentivize the first visit.

Is separate client consent needed for notifications?

The system requests notification permission on first app launch. The administrator doesn't control this permission — it's the client's choice in phone settings.
