How Games Unlimited Raised $11,085 in Loyalty Bonds in One Day!
Located in Pittsburgh’s family-centric neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, Games Unlimited is a beloved community fixture that has been providing unique tabletop games and puzzles since 1978. The mission of Games Unlimited has always been to help people find games that match what they like.
After falling in love with board games, current owner Kylie Prymus started as an apprentice at Games Unlimited and officially took up the reins of the store in 2015.
Because Games Unlimited provides their expertise with in-person consultations and hands-on game demonstrations, the mandatory shutdown of local businesses had an immediate, devastating effect on Games Unlimited. Kylie was forced to make the difficult decision to furlough his employees and close up shop in hopes of waiting out the storm.
But thankfully, the Pittsburgh gaming community was there to help! Kylie got emails every day from customers asking about ways that they could support the business during the pandemic.
At this time, he also learned about Honeycomb’s Loyalty Bonds program, a new kind of gift card to support local businesses. Customers of local businesses can buy Loyalty Bonds today and earn 1.3x of the value they purchase in the form of gift cards over the next two years. The gift cards are distributed in 4 installments (one every 6 months), giving customers a tangible way to support their favorite businesses.
Kylie saw Loyalty Bonds as an exciting way to get a much-needed cash infusion and offer his loyal customers an opportunity to get great deals on their gaming future.
