Bandwango does this through the creation of passports, a powerful tool that goes beyond traditional marketing strategies.

  1. Drive Traffic to Local Businesses:

    Bandwango passports offer a unique and innovative way to connect merchants with the community. Whether you're a bustling city or a charming small town, these passports are designed to drive real results and ensure that both locals and visitors experience the best your community has to offer.

  1. Provide Exclusive Deals and Discounts:

    Offering exclusive deals and discounts has never been more accessible. With a Bandwango passport, you can highlight special discounts across your region, creating a themed discount passport that attracts both locals and visitors, boosting engagement and foot traffic.

    Bandwango’s gamification capabilities allow you to go beyond just incentivizing via discounts and offers, and strengthen engagement as users check-in at local businesses. Our gamification features allow users to accumulate points as they check-in to different venues on a passport, which can then be redeemed for exclusive prizes.

  1. Streamline Entrance into Events:

    Bandwango passports are mobile solutions crafted to enhance the visitor experience, capture dynamic marketing data, and, most importantly, drive regional economic impact. Our product can cater to your simplest or grandest event ticketing needs. Thanks to the ability to integrate our technology directly onto your website, users never have to be redirected to a third party site to purchase their tickets or sign up for admission to an event. Tickets and event admission information is then instantly accessible on the user’s smartphone, streamlining entrance into events and attractions and ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for participants.

    The unique attractions and activities in your destination are what keep visitors coming back. Bandwango's technology transforms these attractions into actionable experiences, ensuring that both locals and visitors make the most of what your community has to offer. A taco trail highlighting your local cultural cuisine? A check-in challenge that takes you back in time through your destination’s historic sites and landmarks? An outdoorsy pass of parks and recreational areas? There’s no limit to the experience that Bandwango can build for you!

  3. Build Connections with Local Businesses:

    Bandwango passports facilitate closer collaboration with local merchants and organizations. Working towards a common goal has never been easier, as these passports become a bridge connecting communities with their businesses.
