What do you like best about UPshow?

Before UpShow we were using archaic methods like burning DVDs or USBs to display our content to our bar patrons & visuals for Private Events and this brought our ability to upload years of content & also put out all our new constant instantly with ease. It has helped our promotions for drink promos, concert events & customer messaging to be impactful more than I could have ever imagined. The support staff is always so quick and friendly too. I love the playlist feature and the ability to change content with such flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPshow?

Honestly there is not one feautre of UpShow I have found to be an issue or a dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UPshow solving and how is that benefiting you?

We no longer have to update DVD programming or USBs to upload all our concert event recaps or promotions in our live music venue/bars. We were having to do that weekly. It's saved us so much time and hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UPshow?

Ease of use and flexibility. It's so easy to upload, organize and schedule content and personalize it for each of my locations. It doesn't require a lot of sophisticated hardware or technical support. It's a breeze for my staff to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPshow?

We originally purchased UPshow so we could encourage gym members to post selfies to Instagram and tag us so it will show up on our UpShow channel, to expand our IG audience. But they have so many restrictions on what they will post that very few pictures ever actually post, which is a bummer for us and our members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UPshow solving and how is that benefiting you?

UpShow provides us an easy way to communicate with our gym members. We advertise and promote amenities, personal training, merchandise and use it to provide needed information about our products and services. It's a great tool for inspiring our members as well since we highlight member success stories. The other problem we had was people requesting to watch TV programs, mostly cable news shows, that would offend about half our members, and in turn they'd be offended when we declined. So we avoid this by having UPShow content only, which takes that conversation out completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UPshow?

Staff engagment is one of the hardest thing to do within your four walls, to be consistent with it and have an easy way to deliver it. UPshow has made it really easy for staff and managers to recognize each other in a fun and interactive way! Recognizing milestones is much easier now, with birthdays and anniversaries poping up

Getting out staff messages out has always been a challenge, but this makes it easier to show staff what is going on in the store. Having the visual for staff to see is makes them more engaged with each of them.

Setup and integration has been really easy, they took the time to learn about us before the product came into the building and helped build the backend to help for a successful lauch. The team continues to check in as well which has exceeded the level of support in which I thought we would receive.

Couldn't be happier that I have been able to bring UPshow into my restaurant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPshow?

Honestly , I don't really have anything negative. Any issues that I have had, has been addressed by the team and they have created a solution for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UPshow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating staff engagment for recognition, awareness and creating a fun environment for staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you create a banner, it does change the size of your rotating images. I wish it auto-fit itself to avoid any type of black frame in the dead space around it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows us to introduce our PT staff and our services! When a patient comes in there's something for them to watch and the variety of media options keeps them engaged.
