5 Questions to Ask Venues to Gauge Their Interest

When approaching a venue to pitch a Brick power bank station, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their interest and needs. Here are five questions to initiate a conversation, gather information, and customize your pitch!

1. What is your charging policy?
It’s straightforward. By asking about their charging policy, you can gain insights into how the venue currently addresses customers' needs for charging. This will give you a clear understanding of their existing approach and potential pain points. It also presents an opportunity for you to highlight how your power bank sharing solution can effectively cater to those needs and provide a convenient charging option for their customers.

2. How long do customers typically spend in your venue?
By asking about the duration of customer visits and the level of foot traffic, you can assess whether the venue aligns with the ideal characteristics for a successful power bank station placement. Venues, where people spend a significant amount of time or have high foot traffic, are more likely to benefit from a power bank station. This question will help you gauge the potential value of the venue as a strategic location for your power bank stations and see if the venue is worth investing your time in!

3. Do you offer in-app experience or digital ordering systems?
Many venues are adopting technology to enable features like in-app ordering, pickups, and payments. While these digital solutions are designed to be efficient, they can also drain phone batteries. Power bank stations would help the customer to stay connected throughout their interaction with the venue's digital services. The question is not suitable for all venues of course! 

4. How often do you find yourself with a low phone battery?
Talk about how they experience low battery percentages and how they solve them. It’ll be easier for them to relate to the pitch on a charging solution that will benefit them too. This is important to emphasize, staff should rent for free!

5. Would you be interested in a free charging station that will charge your customers' phones for free?
If the venue is not interested enough to explore this concept, fair enough. Don’t try to oversell and come back another time. 

Think of these questions as guidelines and adaptable to whatever venue you’re targeting. You aim to help them realize how Brick can help their staff and customers. We know that powerbank stations provide a convenient, accessible, and safe charging solution for people to keep their devices charged. Very important in today’s digital age!
