LoyaltyMatch Venue Loyalty Program
Features:
14. #EtixBlast
Throughout Oregon and Washington states, Portland-based
McMenamins is known for its variety of places to enjoy with family and
friends. Founded by brothers Mike and Brian, McMenamins began as a
single neighborhood pub in 1983 and today includes seven Washington
locations and 53 Oregon properties, 18 on the National Register of
Historic Places. Included in the list of properties is the historic Crystal
Ballroom and Lolaâs Room.
Challenge
While the ultimate goal was to generate more ticket sales, first and
foremost McMenamins wanted to create a closer connection to the
community. Rather than just sell fans tickets they wanted a deeper
engagement with them that would bring the desired fan loyalty and,
therefore, additional ticket sales. McMenamins also decided to focus on
awarding points and giving rewards based on ticket purchases.
Therefore, a direct connection between Etix, and the loyalty program
platform provider was essential.

Solution
Etix and LoyaltyMatch seamlessly integrated their two systems so that ticket
buyers for shows at the Crystal Ballroom and Lola's Room can quickly become
members of McMenamins âJoin The Bandâ at the point of purchase online.
Members earn points for all of their online ticket purchases and can redeem
those points for admission to events, to score merchandise or to enjoy special in-
venue experiences.
Results
Join The Band was launched in late 2014 and was an immediate success. The
more than 4,200 members feel a closer connection to the venues and
McMenamins and are rewarding themselves regularly from a catalogue that
includes ongoing and one-off special prizes. The most often claimed reward? âTo
be escorted with early entrance to the show of their choiceâ. Proof that fans of
the Crystal Ballroom and Lolaâs Room are about more than free merchandise.
They like to feel special. Join The Band, working with Etix and LoyaltyMatch gives
them that chance.

âWhen we set the goal of having a loyalty program for the Crystal Ballroom,
we started the conversation with Etix, and they determined that integrating a
third party partner made the most sense. After considering various loyalty
vendors Etix concluded that LoyaltyMatch had the best platform for
entertainment venues, then created the partnership with them that led to all
of us working together. We have found that a technical integration between
our ticketing company and a loyalty provider is an ideal framework, both for
backend administration and for our customersâ experience. And on a
development level, working with these two companies as a unified team
makes everything from inception through rollout a much smoother process.
As such, âJoin The Bandâ has been an extraordinarily easy program to
manage because of the responsiveness and commitment of Etix and
LoyaltyMatchâ
