"Secondary spending" items in indoor children's play centers refer to additional消费项目 beyond the entrance ticket (primary spending). They are crucial for enhancing the center's revenue capability, increasing customer loyalty, and extending dwell time. The core idea is to create valuable additional experiences or products that both parents and children are willing to pay for on top of the entrance fee.
