About Colonial Bowling & Entertainment
Colonial Bowling & Entertainment is a family entertainment center in Lawrence Township, New Jersey, just outside Princeton. Under one roof it has 24 blacklit bowling lanes, a Jurassic Quest laser tag arena, an 80+ game arcade, Doc's Bar & Grill and a private VIP bowling suite for up to 130 guests. Families, friends, schools and companies from across Mercer County and nearby Bucks County, PA, come for open play, birthday parties, date nights and corporate events.
Challenge
Colonial had tried an outside company for a few months and then run its social media in-house, but posting took too much of the team's time and the pages were not reaching a broad enough audience. It needed a steady stream of posts that sold parties, events and the VIP suite to families and adults alike, in a fun voice that still felt classy. It brought in SmartSites to run its social media, alongside its Google and Meta ads and a new website.
How we helped Colonial Bowling & Entertainment.
SmartSites grows social engagement for family entertainment centers
SmartSites runs Colonial Bowling & Entertainment's social media on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X, with a monthly planner of short videos, carousels and event graphics built around what the center wants to book next.
- Monthly Planner: Plans each month's posts around what Colonial wants to fill, from birthday parties and field trips to World Cup watch parties in the VIP lounge, and gets every post approved before it is scheduled.
- Short Videos & Graphics: Turns the center's photos and clips into short videos, carousels and bold event graphics sized for each platform, like the "Best. Birthday. Ever." VIP birthday upgrade post.
- Something for Everyone: Balances family content (birthdays, laser tag, the arcade) with adult nights out (cosmic bowling, Doc's Bar & Grill menu spotlights), in a playful voice with polls and questions that invite comments.
- Clear Next Steps: Points every post somewhere useful: booking a lane, a party or a tour of the VIP suite.
