IAAPA Attractions Expo 2018

AMERICAN LOCKER DELIVERS NEW REVENUE-GENERATING PRODUCTS TO THE AMUSEMENT PARK INDUSTRY AT IAAPA

Innovations in keyless lockers and management software are improving the guest experience and creating new ways to monetize each guest visit.

Orlando, Florida — Attendees of the IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando, Florida, come to the show expecting to find ways to deliver compelling guest experiences. At this year’s IAAPA, those in attendance will discover that compelling guest experiences can be made with lockers.

American Locker, the industry leader for over 120 years, has developed an innovative new locker system that promises to save money, improve guest experience, and increase revenue. They are launching this new innovative product line at IAAPA in November.

With the revenue-generating features of keyless lockers, amusement parks, skating rinks, bowling alleys, civic centers, and water parks are now finding new ways to monetize their old facilities. Keyless lockers provide features and advantages that improve the guest experience and create value that guests are more than happy to pay for.

According to Efrain Rodriguez, Vice President of Product Development for American Locker, “This new line of keyless lockers is packed with features that will turn an amusement park’s lockers into a profit center. Parks will be able to eliminate key replacement costs, increase security, and enhance their customers’ experience.”

American Locker has a long history of releasing industry-changing product innovations; they created an entire industry when they first launched the coin-operated locker in 1958. In the decades that followed, American Locker has continuously released advanced technologies that set the standard for security solutions.

“We chose IAAPA to launch our latest product innovation,” explains Roxanne Owens, Senior Vice President of Sales for American Locker. “It makes sense to launch it there, since our keyless locker line will be revolutionizing the amusement park industry.”

“With our keyless lockers, serving your customers has never been easier,” explains Rodriguez. “Now when guests need to rent a locker, they simply visit the kiosk in the park using their cash or credit card, enter their own choice for a PIN number — one that they will easily remember — and go directly to their locker. A dedicated keypad is installed on each locker that allows them to bypass the kiosk and go straight to their locker for as long as they are renting.”

American Locker’s keyless locker technology can be installed into existing lockers, creating new revenue-generating opportunities for facility managers and administrators. Installing this new keyless locker technology into existing lockers provides facility managers with innovations that improve the guest experience and create new ways to monetize each guest visit.

Touted by American Locker’s marketing department as the “ultimate solution for guest storage, parcel collection, click and collect, and asset security,” Tara Munro, Director of Marketing for American Locker, calls out some of the locker line’s most compelling features. “We’ve made it affordable and easy through retrofitting to capitalize on the revenue-generating features of our keyless lockers. Our amusement park customers will be able to eliminate the cost of replacing lost keys and greatly reduce locker down-time. Plus they’re getting a very innovative crowd management feature that dispenses lockers in an organized fashion for peak times, and a pricing management feature that allows for ‘surge-pricing’ price adjustments based on real-time demand.”

“The mechanical design is tried and tested and wholly manufactured in the USA, offering years of reliable operation,” according to Frederick Cook, Chief Executive Officer of American Locker. “These electronic, self-service kiosk systems save time and money, and make it easy to manage locker activity in your business for years.”

“Our company has a storied past, with its roots in creating innovative security products,” explains Munro. “American Locker has built a reputation for leading this industry with ground-breaking solutions. That’s an American Locker tradition.”
