Boost holiday sales at your FEC with gift card bundles, party add-ons, seasonal tickets, and more. Simple items guests love to buy online.
The holiday season is one of the busiest and most profitable times of year for family entertainment centers. Guests are searching for meaningful gifts, festive experiences, and easy ways to celebrate with loved ones.
That’s why your online store is such a powerful tool. Available 24/7, it helps you reach more customers, collect better data on what’s selling, and maximize seasonal revenue.
If you want to drive more sales this holiday season, here are four items you’ll want to feature in your store.
Gift cards are always a top seller and bundling them is a proven way to increase average spending. For example, offer “Buy $50, get $10 free” or “2-for-$25” deals that give guests extra value while boosting your revenue.
Why it works: Many buyers reload or spend extra once they’re in your facility, turning a single purchase into repeat visits. And with Party Center Software, you can easily track performance to see how successful your gift card bundles are.
Pro Tip: Promote your bundles everywhere at checkout, in social media posts, through holiday email campaigns, and digital advertising.
Tickets to special events like “Breakfast with Santa,” “Holiday Glow Night,” or a kid-friendly New Year’s Eve Balloon Drop are always in high demand.
Don’t have a Santa booked yet? No problem, many FECs simply have a staff member dress up. The real value is in the photos, memories, and festive fun for families.
These event tickets are big-ticket items, make them front and center in your online store and upsell them with add-ons like holiday hats, glow sticks, or bundled snacks.
You don’t need a warehouse of inventory, just a few seasonal, branded items that feel special. For trampoline parks, socks are a no-brainer. Imagine selling limited-edition Halloween or Christmas socks with your logo.
Other quick holiday ideas include:
These small items make great impulse buys while keeping your brand top of mind.
4. Combo Deals & Experience Packs
Beyond gift cards, families love bundled experiences. Think “Meal + Game Card Combo” or “Unlimited Play Wristband + Holiday Souvenir.” These deals make great last-minute gifts and encourage same-day upsells when guests arrive.
One PCS customer shared that when families redeemed a food + player card combo, many went on to reload extra money right away, turning a small upsell into a bigger win.
The key: keep it simple, festive, and ready-to-use.
This holiday season, don’t just rely on foot traffic. Use your online store to capture sales around the clock with gift card bundles, festive merchandise, and seasonal tickets. These simple items keep guests engaged, boost revenue, and make holiday shopping easy for families.
With Party Center Software, setting up and tracking these offers is simple and it helps you build strategies for even greater success year after year.
