Shopping centers: 3 innovative activities to boost customer engagement with kiosks
1. Partnerships with brands in the center
🎯 Purpose: Create a virtuous circle between the use of the Plug'Heur terminal and consumption in the center's stores.
💡 Concept: Set up exclusive discounts or special offers reserved for customers who borrow a Plug'Heur battery. For example:
- 10% discount in some shops/restaurants upon presentation of the battery.
- A free coffee for any purchase in a partner brand.
👉 Concretely: During the first loan, the user automatically receives a SMS with a promo code to be presented in a partner brand (café, restaurant, shop, etc.).
✅ Advantages:
- Double incentive : at the same time to borrow a battery and to be consumed in the center.
- Seamless customer experience thanks to the automated sending of the code directly after borrowing.
- Valorization of partner brands, which benefit from qualified and measurable traffic.
- Easy to communicate via display in the terminal, signage in the center, and social networks.
2. “Charge & Win” contest
🎯 Purpose: Create a strong moment to promote the service and increase borrowing over a short period of time.
💡 Concept: For a week or a weekend, each Plug'Heur battery loan gives access to a automatic participation in a draw.
- Possible grants: center gift card, shopping vouchers, connected objects, ecological goodies, etc.
- Variant: QR code on the terminal to validate participation in the game.
📣 Communication:
- Display on the terminal, in the alleys of the center and in the signs.
- Relay on the center's social networks.
✅ Advantages:
- Easy to implement, “gamification” effect.
- Increase the visibility of the service and encourage testing.
- Allows you to retrieve emails for other campaigns (if desired).
3. Social media competition: “Selfie with the terminal”
🎯 Purpose: Generate organic visibility and reinforce the virality around the service.
💡 Concept: Visitors are invited to share a creative photo with a Plug'Heur battery on Instagram or Facebook, with a dedicated hashtag (ex: #CentreCommercialX or #PlugHeurCentreX).
- The best photos are selected to win gift cards or other lots.
- Possibility to make a ranking by number of likes, or by an internal jury.
✅ Advantages:
- Make the terminal shine on public networks.
- Encourages visitors to take ownership of the service
- Create cool visual content for the center and Plug'Heur networks.
