London Tigers is a sports club based in Ealing. The club signed up for Bookteq in December 2020 and launched on the Playfinder marketplace in March 2021
London Tigers joined Bookteq to streamline their booking process and give their staff time to focus on other tasks. Another benefit has been increased exposure of their facilities which has boosted revenue and utilisation rates.
Kiara Pallavii, Marketing Manager at London Tigers, has said “[Playfinder] allows us to reach the right, dedicated, and filtered target audience.”
