About FindASoftPlay For Venue Owners

Published on April 18, 2025

Running a soft play venue comes with many challenges, and effectively managing your online presence shouldn't be one of them. Enter FindASoftPlay – the dedicated platform helping soft play venues connect with families and enhance their digital footprint. Whether you're looking to control how your venue is presented online, engage with customer feedback, or stay connected with industry trends, FindASoftPlay offers a comprehensive suite of tools specifically designed for venue owners like you – and the best part? It's completely free.

Claiming Your Venue in Minutes

Taking ownership of your venue's profile is simple and straightforward. Start by creating a free account on FindASoftPlay, then navigate to your venue's existing page. You'll notice a "Claim Venue" button – clicking this initiates the verification process that establishes you as the official owner or manager. Once verified, you gain immediate access to a suite of management tools that put you in control of how your venue appears to potential customers.

The claiming process typically takes just a few minutes, but the benefits to your business are long-lasting. As the verified owner, you'll be able to respond directly to any reviews, ensuring your voice is heard and customer feedback is properly addressed – a crucial element in today's review-driven marketplace.

Taking Control of Your Online Presence

Once you've claimed your venue, you gain the ability to customize and refine your profile to accurately represent your business. Update your venue's description to highlight your unique selling points, special features, or recent improvements. Add or modify tags to ensure your venue appears in relevant searches – whether you specialize in toddler play, have disability-friendly facilities, or offer excellent birthday packages.

This level of control ensures that when families are searching for their next play destination, they're seeing the most current and accurate information about what your venue has to offer. Regular updates to your profile can also help improve your visibility on the platform, putting your venue in front of more potential customers.

Engage Customers with Your Venue Wall

One of FindASoftPlay's most powerful features is the venue wall – your own dedicated space to share updates, announcements, special offers, or events directly with your audience. Anyone who follows your venue on the platform will see these updates, creating a direct communication channel with your most interested customers.

Use your wall to announce holiday specials, share photos of new equipment, promote upcoming events, or simply thank your visitors for their continued support. This real-time engagement keeps your venue top-of-mind and gives families a reason to check back regularly and plan their next visit. Venues that post to their wall will also be featured on our 'Updates Near You' page that allows for members and non members to keep up to date with great offers and news near them.

Extend Benefits to Your Own Website

The value of FindASoftPlay extends beyond the platform itself. As a venue owner, you can embed both your venue wall and customer reviews directly into your own website. This integration brings dynamic, regularly updated content to your site with minimal effort, enhancing the user experience for your website visitors.

Displaying your reviews builds trust with potential customers browsing your website, while the embedded wall ensures your website always features your latest news and offers. This seamless connection between platforms strengthens your overall digital presence and saves you time by allowing you to update in one place and have that content appear across multiple channels.

Connect with the Soft Play Community

FindASoftPlay is more than just a directory – it's a thriving community of soft play professionals. The platform regularly publishes industry-specific news, keeping you informed about relevant trends, regulations, and innovations that could impact your business.

The dedicated forum provides a space where venue owners and managers can connect, share experiences, discuss common challenges, and exchange solutions. Whether you're looking for advice on cleaning products, staff training, or marketing strategies, you'll find peers who understand the unique aspects of running a soft play business and are willing to share their expertise.

Perhaps the most important point to emphasize is that all of these powerful tools and resources are available at absolutely no cost to venue owners. FindASoftPlay is committed to supporting the soft play industry by providing a platform that connects venues with families without placing financial burden on business owners.

There are no hidden fees, subscription costs, or premium tiers required to access any of the features mentioned. From claiming your venue and responding to reviews to posting on your wall and engaging with the community – everything is included in your free account.
