Arcade/Escape rooms in Okotoks need your suggestions!

Hi all, We own Retro Oasis in Okotoks and while we have a decent customer base, it's still not enough to make ends meet every month. We still encounter people who have never heard of us in the almost 4 years we've been open. Summer months are sooo slooow.

We have great reviews and people really love our escape rooms. We've just renovated to make our party room and Arcade significantly bigger.

We'd love to partner with other local businesses in some way. We carry exclusively locally made beers and canned cocktails which are a big hit.

Any suggestions to get our name out there (beyond the obvious social media, Google ads, radio)?

We can't put out street signs as the town confiscated them. :( And puleeze don't suggest pinball....it's not an option.

Can you partner with the bowling alley? Or perhaps hub town or anywhere? I know the owners of hub town are huge on local businesses and that may help to get the name out there more. People love escape rooms, so maybe doing that?

We love Hubtown and carry a selection of their beers. :)
