Tip #2) Ramp Up Player Registrations
Trivia for Prizes: 12 Days of Trivia is only, well, 12 days. But it’s a clutch opportunity to boost your Buzztime player registrations. And registered players are the gift that keeps on giving! Once registered, they can enter any sweepstake or competition we run – including the 12 Days of Trivia. Our marketing team can also send registered players alerts and emails, reminding them to get their game on at your place.
Tip #3) Reward Your Team
Get your crew involved in registering guests as Buzztime players. Reward the staff member who helps the most people sign up with a gift card.
This might seem obvious, but make sure your team knows how to help customers register. It’s super easy. All guests need to do is download the free Buzztime Entertainment app. Or, they can register on a Buzztime tablet (if you provide them). By the way, registration is insanely quick. It takes minutes, and yes, it’s also 100% free.
Tip #4) Tie in the 12 Days of Trivia with Other Holidays
December is packed with wild and weird holidays, just waiting for you to run a fun event. To celebrate Ugly Sweater Day on Friday, December 20th, host a party where attendees sport their most hideous holiday ensemble. Encourage everyone to partake in a little trivia for their chance to win 1 of the 12 gift cards.
Tip #5) Highlight Your Rock Star Players
Trivia for Prizes: 12 Days of Trivia is a sweepstakes, so skill isn’t involved. But don’t let that stop you from shining the spotlight on the highest scoring players in your location. Using the Buzztime local leaderboard, identity your top 5 best players for December and then honor them with a congratulatory Facebook post. Or, shout ‘em out on your own TVs using Buzztime TV digital signage.

Tip #9) Go Live
Don’t be intimidated. Take a sip of some spiked eggnog, and go live on Facebook or Instagram when people are playing Buzztime. Holler out at the bar area that you’re about to go live so the camera-shy customers can stay outta your way. Ask players which Buzztime game is their favorite, and what they’ll do with the cash prize (if they win).
Tip #10) Get Festive
Pass out candy canes at the bar, ask your bartenders and servers to wear Santa hats, and put up a kissing ball above the doorway…it’s all about creating a festive atmosphere for Buzztime players and your patrons in general.
Tip #11) Promote with P.R.
Let the local media know that you’re part of a nationwide trivia sweepstakes. Just for playing a round of Buzztime trivia, anyone in the area can win 1 of 12 $100 gift cards. Now that’s definitely newsworthy, right? Contact local radio and TV stations, online newspapers, bloggers, and even Instagram and Facebook influencers.
Tip #12) If You Have a Winner…
Then you definitely need to whip up a press release to alert the media in your town. Include a quote from your winning customer about why they like playing Buzztime at your business. Don’t forget to highlight the fact you’ll have monthly competitions and sweepstakes going on throughout all of 2020, because that’s just what Buzztime does for partner locations like yours.
