On-­‐Line
Marketing

Better
Options
To
Reward
Repeat
Customers
By
Leveraging
Trends
In
Gamification
Reservation
Genie,
a
free
online
reservation
tool
that
combines
better
rewards
with
powerful
marketing
for
restaurants,
diners,
concierges,
and
affiliates,
announced
the
launch
of
their
new
VIP
program.
The
new
program
leverages
trends
in
gamification
by
rewarding
the
top
10
patrons
of
any
given
venue
with
special
perks.
The
perks
are
created
and
monitored
by
the
restaurant
itself,
giving
them
more
control
over
their
marketing.
“We
wanted
to
put
more
control
in
the
hands
of
the
restaurant
and
simultaneously
give
better
rewards
to
loyal
diners,”
says
Reservation
Genie
CEO,
Ivan
Collins.
“The
VIP
program
lets
us
do
just
that.”
Each
time
a
patron
books
their
reservation
through
Reservation
Genie
they
earn
points.
The
top
10
diners
at
any
given
restaurant
qualify
for
VIP
perks
that
can
be
anything
the
restaurant
configures
such
as
a
complimentary
appetizer
with
each
entrée,
20%
off
the
check,
or
50%
off
bottles
of
wine.
The
more
they
book,
the
more
points
they
earn.
As
long
as
they
stay
on
the
top
10
list,
they
continue
to
receive
the
VIP
perks
on
future
reservations.
Since
there's
no
need
to
purchase
a
coupon
like
you
do
with
Groupon
and
restaurants
don't
pay
extra
fees
to
use
the
rewards
program
like
they
do
for
1000
point
tables
on
Open
Table,
restaurants
are
able
to
cut
their
marketing
costs
while
creating
better
incentives
for
their
best
customers
at
the
same
time.
It’s
also
a
better
deal
for
the
restaurant
and
the
patron
because
they
cut
out
the
cost
of
the
middleman.
