How Bloc Works for Your Business
The Bloc Business Awards 2025 highlight how our unique ecosystem benefits venues.
Every single venue in the world is already listed on Bloc.
This means your customers can check-in anywhere at any time.
When a user visits your venue, they tap ‘I’m Here’.
Our geo-location technology recognizes they are inside your four walls.
This simple action earns them 3 BLOCS, our exclusive in-app currency.
Moments and Bites: Free Marketing
User-generated content is the most powerful tool for modern businesses.
On Bloc, users are incentivised to create content specifically for you:
-
Moments: A photo or video taken inside the venue earns the user 3 BLOCS.
-
Bites: Short-form vertical videos (like Reels) earn another 3 BLOCS.
This ensures a steady stream of authentic content showcasing your brand.
These posts appear in our global discovery feed, reaching thousands of potential new customers.
Building Social Connections
Bloc is more than just a reward platform; it is a social network.
Users can see everyone else who is checked into the same event.
They can send “star” requests to connect with others before they arrive.
If the connection is mutual, they are placed into a private conversation.
This allows people to chat and plan their meet-ups inside the app.
It turns your venue into a hub for meaningful social interaction.
