Red Dragon Pubs

Pubs & Restaurants App Case Study

Red Dragon Pubs is Wales’ favourite independent pub group. From the Swansea Valleys to the Gwent hills, Red Dragon pubs are well known and well loved, places to gather and celebrate, to see great local bands, to dance and sing, to eat, drink and be merry.

Their pubs are at the heart of their communities, and are family friendly and dog welcoming.

Challenges

HD Pub Investments acquired eleven independent pubs in Wales under the brand, Red Dragon Pubs.

Their plan is to grow the business, nurture local bands and serve the local communities in Wales.

However, they faced a challenge: although the pubs were known to their local communities, the company did not have
access to customer information.

There was no database, which meant Red Dragon Pubs could not promote their music events, seasonal offers or understand their customer wants and needs.

Collecting customer information was the first step to realising Red Dragon Pubs’ marketing strategy.

Luckily, this was a problem we could offer a solution to, through our app platform.

Why we were chosen for the project

We shared Red Dragon Pubs' passion in growing their community pubs and nurturing their customers.

We were able to come up with a cost-effective solution to the marketing challenge.

Additionally, we were able to fully customise the app to their brand and provided the features required to meet
their marketing goals.

We were very responsive, flexible and were able to deliver a well designed, easy to use and intuitive app.

App Marketing Goals

  • Collect contact details of every visitor to their local pub via the app.


  • Understand customer preferences through their interactions on the app.


  • Reward regular visitors by giving them exclusive access to in-app offers, when they spend.


  • Encourage customers to spend through prudent use of push notification marketing.
