    Billiard Hall Marketing — Zalo Regulars, Tournament Buzz

    Regulars are 80% of billiard revenue: LOOP identifies them, offers prepaid hour packs on Zalo, and auto-invites the right players to your next tournament.

    How LOOP handles it

    Every table session logs to the player's Zalo membership. AI Segments identifies your top-100 regulars, your fading regulars (30-day dormant), and your tournament-grade players. Campaigns are one-tap per segment.

    The specific pains here

    1. #1You know your regulars' faces but not their names or phones.

      How LOOP solves it: Zalo Mini App membership captured at first table check-in; QR poster on every table.

    2. #2Tournament fills via Facebook post — you get randoms and no-shows.

      How LOOP solves it: AI Invites the right skill-level players directly on Zalo with pay-to-hold entry.

    3. #3Off-peak afternoons run 30% utilisation.

      How LOOP solves it: AI-timed off-peak pack promos to dormant regulars fill Tuesday–Thursday 14:00–17:00.

    4. #4Coaches want their own promo tools but you don't want a shared inbox.

      How LOOP solves it: Per-coach Zalo campaigns from their own account with commission-tracked results.
