Five Reasons to Know What’s on TV for Sports…

The SportsTV Guide is a utility serving restaurant operators for almost 25 years. Too often, when we offer our service to a restaurant operator, their first response is, “We aren’t a sports bar!” It’s high time someone challenged this assertion. It’s a fallacy and always has been.

Imagine, your local team is playing for a championship. Won’t your bar have at least a few folks who would want to watch that game live? Here are five compelling reasons you need to be more aware of what’s on for sports: 1. It’s what your guests want!

By Buzztime, partner for the Football Marketing Bootcamp When football season starts, will you be ready? Expecting crowds without a marketing plan is a risky move.
