Shops, shopping centres and launches
Claw machine hire for shops and product launches
A branded claw machine at your shop door brings people in. At an opening, a campaign or a product launch, it turns the shop window into a game and every customer into someone who leaves with a prize from your brand.
Retail ideas
When to put a claw machine in your shop
Store openings
A reason to come in on day one and a photo that does the rounds on local social media.
Campaigns and key dates
Black Friday, sales, Mother’s or Father’s Day, Pink October. Prizes tied to the campaign.
Product launches
Your new product in the cabinet and samples in the balls. The game is the launch.
Shopping centres and pop-ups
One or more machines per floor, for weeks, with the same campaign look.
Mechanics
How to link the game to a purchase
- One token per purchase. The machine runs on branded metal tokens. Your team hands one out with each receipt.
- Free play on opening day. Free for everyone on day one, tokens from day two.
- Prizes with value. Discount vouchers inside the balls for the next purchase.
- Big prize by ticket. If the prize is clothing or a large product, we put a ticket in the ball to redeem at the till.
For narrow shop windows or counters, the surprise capsule machine takes up very little space. And for a light effect in-store, see the LED prize claw machine.
Long campaigns
Weekly or monthly hire across several shops
Many retail campaigns last weeks, not a day. We hire by the week or month, and with more than 20 units of each machine we can put one in every shop of a chain, or several in different shopping centres at once. All with the same wrap, so the campaign looks the same everywhere.
The claw machine has a 64.5 × 70 cm footprint, runs on a standard socket and is on wheels, so it fits well between rails, counters and fitting rooms. During the campaign, anyone in the shop can restock prizes. If something comes up, we sort it out by phone or video call.
Retail questions
Can we hire the claw machine for a month?
Yes. We hire by the day, week or month. For long campaigns we quote a price for the whole period.
Can we have machines in several shops at once?
Yes. We have more than 20 units of each machine and can spread them across shops or shopping centres in different cities.
How do we control who plays?
With branded metal tokens that your team hands out with each purchase or whenever you decide.
What if the machine breaks down during the campaign?
We support you straight away by phone or video call. If needed, a technician comes out.
