ABOUT TROOPE
Troope connects entertainment-seekers with establishments looking to boost business by offering aÂ
small concession in return for bringing in a higher number of customers, who are likely to consumeÂ
more when on-premises. Venues have total control: they decide the freebie they wish to offer andÂ
how many people are required for the deal to become available. Owners benefit from increasedÂ
business; customers, from better value.
Â
