LootBoostby SupNoke
Give them a reason
to show up.
You post the event, hope it travels, and never find out who actually came. A LootBoost turns your night into a prize draw that only the people standing in your venue can enter, and hands you the list afterwards.
Why it works
It tips the people on the fence, and it tells you who came.
A prize that can only be won by walking through your door does three things at once, and two of them you cannot buy any other way.
This is the badge.
It sits on your event everywhere SupNoke shows it. It is the only gold thing on the page, which is the point.
It tips the fence-sitters.
Plenty of people half-mean to come out on a Thursday. A prize that can only be won by walking through your door is the nudge that turns a maybe into a visit, and one more reason to pick your place over the one down the street.
It gives you the list nobody else can.
An unticketed event has no gate, no tickets and no names, and next month you start from zero again. Every LootBoost entrant is signed in to SupNoke and standing in your venue, and you get the list of who they were.
It takes the chore out of the raffle.
No roll of tickets, no clipboard of scribbled emails, no drawing from a hat, no chasing winners by hand. The phone does every one of those steps, and the result is on your dashboard the moment the draw runs.
Reach you do not have to build
People who never knew about your night.
SupNoke lists every event in the Roanoke Valley, and that audience comes with the LootBoost. So do the materials.
An audience most venues do not have.
Tens of thousands of search impressions a quarter, before the iPhone and Android apps, the push reminders and our social channels are counted. The gold badge makes your event the one in the list with something to win.
Cross-promoted on our channels.
Every LootBoost goes out on SupNoke’s own social accounts as well as the listing, so it reaches people who were never going to find your page.
Posters and signs, ready to print.
A printable poster and a door sign with the QR code, ready to download. We will design the art with you, or hand you the template and let you run with it.
How it works
Pick a prize. We do the rest.
You pick the event and the prize
Any event on SupNoke, yours or one you host. The prize is yours to choose: a gift card, merch, a pair of tickets. We set the LootBoost up for you.
The listing wears the badge
A gold LootBoost badge goes on the event everywhere it appears: the calendar, search, the Tonight and This Weekend pages, the app. People see there is something to win before they decide where to go.
They check in at your venue
By GPS while standing inside, or by scanning the sign we print for your door, during the event itself. One entry per person. Nobody enters from their couch.
Winners are drawn and told
A random draw after the event. Winners get an email with your claim instructions, and you see who won and who entered.
What you get
Foot traffic you can count, and a list you own.
A badge where people are deciding
The gold LootBoost mark on your listing in the calendar, in search, on the Tonight and This Weekend pages, and in the iPhone and Android apps. Your event stands out at the moment someone is choosing where to go.
Entries that prove attendance
Check-in is by GPS inside your venue or by scanning the sign at your door, and only during the event. The check-in itself is the entry, so there is nothing to collect and nobody to staff a table.
A moment at the door
The check-in opens a LootBoost reveal on their phone: the entry is locked in, right there. It is the kind of small thing people show the person next to them.
Your own dashboard
My LootBoosts on your SupNoke account, no admin access needed: the prizes, the winners once drawn, every entrant, and a one-click spreadsheet of names and emails. Entrants know their details are shared with you; it is in our terms.
Winners handled
We draw at random after the event and email each winner your claim instructions. You see who won against each prize and the claim is yours to make at the bar.
Your name on the loot
The LootBoost is titled with you as the sponsor, and that title is what people see on the listing, in the details, and in the reveal when they enter. The prize budget is yours, and so is the credit.
The dashboard
The moment it is drawn, you know who came.
Most nights end with a till total and a guess. A LootBoost ends with a list that fills as people check in, with the time of each check-in, and the winners against it the moment the draw runs. It downloads as a spreadsheet, and the people on it have agreed to be on it.
You get the dashboard as the Responsible Party on the LootBoost, under your own SupNoke login. It is read-only and scoped to your boosts, so nothing else in the system is yours to break.
It has run
Five sponsored LootBoosts. Three venues. Hundreds of entries.
Since June, The Exchange Music Hall, Big Lick Brewing Company and Golden Cactus Brewing have each put a prize on a night and let SupNoke run the draw. Every one of them drew dozens of entries on the night, each a person who was standing in the room, and none had advertising behind it beyond the badge on the listing and a sign at the door.
| Event | Venue | Loot |
|---|---|---|
| Umphrey's McGee | The Exchange Music Hall | Signed tour poster, signed setlist, merch bundle |
| Oktoberfest Celebration | Golden Cactus Brewing | Gift certificates and a prize package |
| Daydreaming About FloydFest | Big Lick Brewing Company | Two 3-day FloydFest GA tickets, block party tickets, gift certificate |
| Allen Stone | The Exchange Music Hall | A pair of GA tickets, merch bundle, pint cup |
| Virginia Electric | Big Lick Brewing Company | 3-day FloydFest GA ticket, block party tickets, gift certificates |
What it takes
The prize is yours. The rest we work out.
A LootBoost costs you the loot: a gift card, a hoodie, a pair of tickets you were going to give away anyway. Setting it up, the badge, the check-ins, the draw, the emails and the dashboard are ours. Community causes we do for free, and we are glad to. Everyone else, we work out in one phone call, and we have taken trade more than once.
Foot traffic
A reason to pick your place tonight over the one down the street.
Proof
Who came, when they checked in, and how many of them, in a spreadsheet.
A list you own
People who demonstrably stood in your venue, not names bought by the thousand.
Zero staffing
No raffle tickets, no fishbowl, no one at a table. The phone does it.
