Clubs are concerned that moving away from the current popular platform will cause their occupancy to drop. We have implemented functionality to ensure that the impact of this will be as low as possible. We do expect some drop initially, but because of the savings the clubs make there will be no loss of income, most clubs will in fact start making more money immediately due to the massive savings.
So in order to assist the switchover and even for new clubs to get started, we have implemented the following features and functionality:
• Your club is already visible on Hypebox. When players search for clubs, we display the Google Map information of clubs in the search results, so even if you are not on Hypebox yet, you are already visible.
• You can import your current player and member lists from Excel spreadsheets. The moment you import them, they will receive emails inviting them to the Hypebox app and notifying them that your club will start making bookings on the Hypebox platform from a specific date (your go-live date).
• All players on the mobile app that is within a 25km range from your club (as the crow flies) will receive a notification on their app's home page that you have joined Hypebox. From there they must option to view your club details and add your club as a favourite. So this way you will even reach players in your area that has never played there before or might not even know you exist.
• Players can make bookings by selecting "Clubs Close to Me", "Close to an Address", or "Close to My Current Location". Your club will then be automatically displayed to the player to make a booking, whether they know about your club or not.
• We also advertise your club on all our social media platforms and can assist you in doing the same on your own social media platforms.
• We can also provide you with banners to put up around your courts to make players aware of the impending switch.
• Then finally we can also do an Hypebox launch tournament for you, where we brand the entire tournament your club and Hypebox, attract all our Hypebox players and followers as well as bring our MC
Morgan Beatbox along.
People fear change, we are aware of that. But at the end of the day, you need to look at both the pros and cons of every situation. You will find that at the end of the day, the pros far outweigh the cons.
