You don’t show the match.
You don’t need to.
Barbers, salons, gyms and car washes partner with sports clubs too. Once a club approves you and your deals, its fans can claim them in person on the days you pick. You pay only for the visits you confirm.
What it takes to start
The opportunity
Your next regular already has a club.
The season ticket holder in row F needs a haircut every few weeks. The woman who argues with the referee all season has a car to wash and a gym membership to renew. Fans who stay with a team through a losing season tend to stay with a barber who looks after them, too.
With Game Set Engage, your business becomes one of their club’s partners. You ask the club to partner, it approves you, and fans who follow it can find your deals in the app they already open for that club. When one walks in, they show a QR code and your staff confirm the visit.
An introduction from their club, not an advert. You pay a fee, set by the club, for each check-in or deal redemption you confirm. Views and clicks cost you nothing.
Your own deals, any day
A Tuesday at the barber counts too.
Fans need a haircut, a class or a clean car on ordinary weekdays too. Once a club approves your partnership, publish your own deals on the days you pick, like your slowest Tuesday. By default the club OKs each deal before it goes live. Fans who follow the club can then claim it in person, all season.

Pick your days
Once a club approves your partnership, publish a standing offer to its fans. Choose the days of the week it runs, and add start and end dates if you want them. Pause it or change it whenever you like.
The club’s fans see it
Your offer is listed under Deals near you in the Game Set Engage app, for fans around your business who share their location. It stays listed for its whole date range, greyed out on the days it doesn’t run. Fans who follow the club claim it when they walk in.

Confirm it when they walk in
The fan shows a QR code; you confirm it in the Game Set Engage Venues app. You pay the club’s fee only for redemptions you’ve confirmed, and the club can add points on top.
Deal ideas
- £5 off a cut on Tuesdays
- Free first class for fans
- 10% off Monday to Thursday
Example screens with made-up businesses. Each club approves your offers before they go live, and again when you change or resume one, unless it has switched approval off.
Who it’s for
Built for businesses with a chair, a counter or a wash bay.
Barbers, hair & beauty salons
Customers come back every few weeks anyway. A fan deal on your quiet days gives the club's supporters a reason to book those slots with you.
Gyms & fitness studios
Yoga, pilates, spin, boxing or the weights room. A free first class or a midweek rate for fans gives them a reason to try the classes that run half empty.
Car washes & valeting
Saturdays queue up on their own. A Wednesday deal, like a free wax with a full valet, can move some of that trade to the days you need it.
Nail studios, dry cleaners, repair shops
If customers walk in and your staff can confirm the visit at the counter, you can partner. Sign-up takes a Google Maps listing and about 5 minutes.
Your offer, your rules
Offers that fill the quiet hours.
You can run two kinds of deal. One is your own standing offer, on the days you choose, once the club approves it. The other is the deal fans see next to your name when you join one of the club’s check-in campaigns for an event. A few that suit service businesses:
£5 off a cut on Tuesdays
A fixed amount off on your slowest day. Easy to mention in the chair, and easy to remember for the next booking.
Free first class
For a gym or studio, a first class costs you one spare spot. A fan who enjoys it may stay for a membership.
Free wax with a full valet
An add-on keeps your price where it is and still gives fans a reason to pick you over the place next door.
10% off Monday to Thursday
Aim the deal at the days you most want filled. Fans can claim it only on the weekdays you pick.

Once a club approves you, publish your own deals on the days you pick. You can also join its check-in campaigns for events like fan meetups, open training sessions, charity days and matches.
Confirm visits

Common questions from service businesses.
No. Nothing on the platform asks you to show a match, and you don’t need a screen, a licence or any hardware. A barber, a gym or a car wash partners the same way a sports bar does: you set a deal, fans who follow the club come in, and your staff confirm the visit.
There are no setup fees, no monthly subscription and no minimum. You pay a fee, set by each club, for every check-in and offer redemption you confirm. If no fans come in, you pay nothing. Game Set Engage sends you one invoice a month.
Any club on the platform, in any sport and any country, not just the team down the road. A barber in Cologne can run a deal for the Fenerbahçe supporters who live around the corner. Each club approves you separately, and you can partner with as many clubs as you like.
In person. A fan who follows the club opens your deal in the Game Set Engage app while they’re at your business and shows you a QR code. Your staff confirm it in the Game Set Engage Venues app, and that confirmed visit is the only thing you pay for. Deals can’t be claimed online or from home.
Yes. Pick the weekdays it runs on, and add start and end dates if you want them. Fans can see the deal for as long as it’s live, and they can claim it on the days you picked.
Yes. One account covers up to 200 locations. Team roles for owners, managers, finance and staff let you decide who sets deals, who sees the invoices and who confirms visits at the counter.
Your dashboard shows how often each deal was claimed and by how many different fans, how each club check-in campaign performed, and your check-ins by day and by hour. You’ll see every fan visit you confirmed.
