The Research Speaks for Itself

Competitive Socialising is the perfect solution for those who don't drink alcohol, so everyone can join in on the fun. With an increasing trend of younger people drinking less alcohol, these products and solutions keep pubs and venues as the space to visit frequently. Katy Moses MD at Kam shared some amazing data on how Competitive Socialising venues are outperforming venues without it.

Can you believe that a whopping 88% of people said, "I want pubs/bars to provide me with an experience I can't get at home"? Statistics show 1 in 2 people are itching to see more pubs and bars embracing competitive socialising. The demand is sky-high, we crave excitement and adventure, and pubs and bars are stepping up to the challenge!

Competitive Socialising is crushing it with its Net Promoter Score (NPS). This highlights the exceptional customer satisfaction and loyalty associated with this form of entertainment, showcasing how much we all love this exhilarating form of entertainment. No wonder we can't get enough!
