This page tells the front-stage story. With this panel on, each chapter also shows what LAVA is doing behind the scenes, tagged by delivery phase.
A summer concert, his family, a warm evening. He's one of four million visitors a year — and right now, CityPlace doesn't know he exists. Thirty seconds from now, it will.
The QR opens a LAVA-hosted, CityPlace-branded signup page. Nothing to download, nothing to install — the barrier to becoming known drops to a camera tap.
"Get the CityPlace Summer Pass — unlock the district all summer." He points his camera at it between songs.
Give-to-get: a few details and one consent tap, in exchange for a welcome offer and points. Every field lands in a brand-new known profile in Salesforce — name, mobile, email, zip, consented.
HOW IT WORKSPHASE 1Member and pass are created in LAVA and the welcome reward is applied at issuance. Signup itself can trigger a real-time welcome moment.
HOW IT WORKSPHASE 1Total elapsed time: under a minute, at a concert, without leaving the crowd. This is the low-friction capture the Rewards app can't do alone.
Name, mobile, email, zip — and in return, a welcome offer and 1,000 Summer Pass points. No account, no password, no app.
An SMS lands seconds later. One tap on the link and his Summer Pass is ready for the wallet.
The pass settles in with 1,000 points and a welcome offer already loaded. Carlos goes back to the music.
Staff scan or NFC-tap the pass through the LAVA Redeem app; each check-in advances the challenge and stamps a location visit onto the profile. Sponsors can fund the rewards — the challenge becomes a sellable asset.
The kids pick the stops. A tap of the pass at each one — two down, one to go.
The Moments Engine triggers on the check-in event and updates the pass in real time. At the kiosk, staff redeem through LAVA Redeem — no POS integration, and the reward disappears from the pass once used.
The kids are delighted. So, quietly, is Carlos.
A scheduled end-of-season moment to every pass holder who checked in this summer, configured in the Moment Activation Center by the Lava team.
"Your 1,500 points expire 8/31 — here's what's on this weekend." The family comes back one more time.
Every return visit is attributable: the pass that brought them back is the same identity that gets scanned when they arrive.
HOW IT WORKSPHASE 1 · PHASE 2 REWARDS LINKPass-to-app conversion is tracked. Carlos is already a known profile in Salesforce, so the Rewards app signup links to everything the summer captured. The Pass widened the funnel; the app deepens it.
As the season closes, the pass makes its last suggestion: "Keep your benefits all year — get the CityPlace Rewards app." Carlos, who would never have downloaded an app at the concert, does it now.
