It’s the weekend and business looks good. Everyone’s had a long week and it’s the perfect time to unwind at a sporting event, relax at the theater, or try for a win at the casino. Drivers enter your parking lot pumped up, feeling good, and ready to party.
How do they feel fifteen minutes later?
If you don’t offer parking guidance, chances are their moods have plummeted, stress levels have increased, and the feel-good moment is at risk of dissipating.
Sounds dramatic?
It isn’t.
The search for parking causes drivers frustration and stress, and dominoes into congestion, unnecessary pollution and even increased car accidents.
It’s not a recipe for success on a Monday morning but when people are headed out to relax and unwind, that stress can lead to spending less time and money at their destination.
And it’s easily preventable.
Parking counting systems take the stress out of parking by directing drivers away from lots or areas that are full and into spots that are available and ready.
By keeping track of available spots with smart sensors and conveying that data to LED signs and integrated apps, drivers know exactly where they can and can’t park. Instead of wasting time circling for elusive parking spots, they can get out of their vehicles and into their destinations a lot faster.
The result is customers that are happier, more relaxed, and ready to spend some money.
It’s a win-win for everyone.
