Brick & Mortar Marketing: How Event-Based Giveaways Builds Customer Lists & Drives Growth
How CliquePrize® Transforms Brick and Mortar Marketing
CliquePrize® captures 1st party customer lists for brick & mortar small businesses organically through prize-driven event-based giveaways. It does not buy or sell lists to anyone but the Sponsor. Prospects register via a secure, one-click entry process, providing their name, email, mobile number and zip code which is then fed into a dedicated database for targeted follow-ups. Additional incentives, such as in-store prizes, encourage physical visits and drives foot traffic with tangible sales results. Since the app uses patent-pending technology that leverages Apple Location Services, CliquePrize® ensures all promotions reach local customers, making it the premiere tool for hyper-local marketing. Let's look at some event-based giveaways for core CliquePrize® industries that are designed to maximize lead generation for brick and mortars.

Beauty businesses can leverage CliquePrize® with events that captivate clients. A hair salon could host a “Style Showcase Event,” requiring prospects to register on CliquePrize® for a chance to win a free makeover. Attendees who visit the salon during the event could receive a mini goodie bag (e.g., sample products) as an instant prize. A nail salon might run a “Manicure Mixer,” where registration enters prospects into a grand prize drawing (e.g., a spa day), and in-store visitors get a free polish sample.
