5 Ways Fall Sports Can Infuse Your Sales

fall_sports_blog

For businesses like restaurants and sports bars, game time equals snack time! It’s perfect for concession foods. Take advantage of the season by implementing key strategies that are sure to attract hungry customers.

  • Game Day Specials: Start by offering promotions on certain menu items or creating combo deals. Give a discount to customers dressed in team apparel. Because concession foods are inexpensive, it makes it easy to customize pricing and still earn high profits.
  • Team Color Popcorn: Show your team spirit with popcorn in your team’s colors! Popcorn costs are one of the lowest, so one option is to use it as a giveaway to help boost beverage sales. Or it can be a signature item that you prepackage and sell in souvenir containers.
  • Connect in the Community: If you want to increase traffic, get engaged in the community. Businesses can volunteer to sponsor local kids’ teams or adult community leagues. Get your logo on jerseys (which is great advertising) and invite teams to come celebrate after the game.
  • Creative Names: Have fun with your food names! It will add to the experience when your guests are ordering All-Star Appetizers or a burger that’s named after your favorite mascot. You can also sponsor a contest where customers enter their own name suggestions for a particular menu item.
  • Keep Them Coming Back: Don’t restrict yourself to just game day. Get guests to return by offering them a coupon that’s good on non-game days. It’s a low cost way to encourage repeat business at off-peak times.
