5 Reasons Your FEC Should Be Using LinkedIn

Get Your FEC LinkedIn

Assuming you’ve the got the Real Estate thing handled the most important words for your business are no longer Location, Location Location. Those words are now Marketing. Marketing! Marketing!!! This post is going to provide you a quick education on why LinkedIn is worth some of your attention for your Family Entertainment Center. Here are 5 quick things you need to know, now.

It’s Strictly Business

Let’s pretend Facebook is used 40% business and 60% for personal use. Those numbers are a bit high, but they’re close. LinkedIn is 95% business and 5% personal. What this means to you is that promoting your business can be a bother to those on Facebook looking for cat videos or to hear about your weekend away. People on LinkedIn expect to hear about what your business is doing.

It’s a “Blue Ocean Strategy”

In the international best seller by W. Chan Kim, Kim makes a very important distinction between blue oceans and red oceans in business. A red Ocean strategy is one that all of your competitors are employing and the waters are bloody as a result of the “fight”. A blue Ocean strategy is one where you zag, while everyone else is busy zigging. Think about the number of FECs you see on Facebook and compare that to those on LinkedIn.

You want morning business on a weekday?

Does your business feel like this in the a.m.?

Unless it’s summer or some other time when the kids are out of school you really only have one choice: corporate events. Those can be super hard to book unless you know how to connect with the right professionals. You know which social media site both caters to business professionals AND has a fabulous search feature to help you find them?? I’m not going to give out any names but it’s initials are Linked In.

You can offer team building opportunities

Corporate culture and team building is all the rage in business. Do you offer activities where two or more associates can play together or against one another? If you answered yes to that, than you can say you offer team building. Getting people out of the office for shared experiences is a tremendous way to get them to work better together on projects. This is your selling point.

Connect with event managers

Earlier I mentioned the power of search. That is where LinkedIn really shines. When you start building your network on LinkedIn you’ll be able to easily find and connect with folks who are responsible for building events for their companies. Connect with enough of them and some are bound to do business with you. Do a great job for them and they will tell their friends. Added bonus, they will likely book events for their kids too.

Bottom line is, you’re likely spending a portion your day working on a Facebook strategy (or just goofing off on Facebook, whichever). Do yourself a favor and allocate 15-20% of that time on LinkedIn. You and your business will be glad you did.

Assisted DIY VR Arcade Setup Plan

Sometimes it just makes more sense to DIY, or Do It Yourself.

We have a ton of experience setting up VR Arcades that we want to share with you. As much as we want you to take us up on our “VR Arcade Business in a Box” offering, we noticed there are other technologically savvy people who either love the challenge, like getting their hands on the hottest technology or both. If your facility has some smart techs who have a bunch of time, maybe our “Business in a box” Offering isn’t for you. Maybe this Assisted DIY option is exactly what you need.

We give you all the intel you need to setup your own VR Arcade

We make DIY easy

This plan is exactly what the name entails. We give you the playbook to set up and operate your own branded VR Arcade. Our playbook is mostly automated and a combination of audio, video and written material that is available through an online portal. You can always reach us via phone, text or e-mail to discuss any challenges. Here are the modules you’ll be guided through:

Space planning and design. We will share our best practices on this during a webinar and we expect to spend some time with you on the phone to discuss your specific space.
Hardware – When it comes to hardware for Virtual Reality, you need the “goggles” and the high end gaming computers. We give you recommendations for how to procure both. Then we give specific directions on how to configure the computers so they are ready for gaming.
This step is when we add our proprietary VR Arcade Management Software. This software helps you run your arcade, gives you very useful information and keeps you compliant by handling the game Licensing fees.
At this point you are ready for the Installation process. We provide step by step instructions on how to install your gaming booths for optimized play.
Our Training portal shares best practices to help you with all of the above and to create operational efficiencies and plenty of ideas on marketing your new VR Arcade.
Once everything is up and running, we will share ideas on Game Selection to make sure your customers have a wonderful experience.
Finally, you will have access to some of the brightest minds in the VR Arcade community through our support offerings.

Why this may be best for your facility

This guided process will save your techs a minimum of 30 hours of research and mistake making. If they follow it correctly, it will assure that they will have your system up and running on the first try. The less time it takes them to setup, the faster you will be profiting from your new attraction.

This option includes the opportunity to join our PLVR Club and a subscription to our software.
