Email is Your Sports Bar’s Best Marketing Tool
But not all emailing marketing services are the same. Most are generic clients that don’t understand the business and marketing challenges, nuances, and needs of sports-themed bars and restaurants like yours. But we do. And we think you deserve a more tailored marketing experience.
The SportsTV Guide HQ is the first and only email marketing service designed for sports bars operators by sports bar operators. It is an all-inclusive email marketing and CRM platform that specializes in delivering exactly what sports-themed bars and restaurants need.
Everything from easy to incorporate recurring promotional automations to out-of-the-box promotions, STVG HQ is specifically tailored to the needs of restaurant operators that rely on sports to drive traffic.
All-Star Promotions Made Easy
One of the downsides of using generic email services is the lack of specialized restaurant and sports-themed promotions and templates. Do you need endless Black Friday deal promotions? Unlikely. What you need are event-specific and reoccurring sports bar promotions.
The STVG HQ comes prebuilt with sports-centric out-of-the-box email promotions such as March Madness bracket program as well as traditional restaurant stand-bys like birthday offers.
You’ll also have the power to create your own templates and promotions that can be sent one-time or part of reoccurring marketing automations.
The SportsTV Guide HQ is more than just email. It’s also a powerful CRM system that’ll help you learn who your guests truly are.
Collect everything from basic demographic data such as name, birthday, and location to more detailed intel such as the guest’s likes and dislikes, interests, favorite sports, and teams, and much more!
You can then take this info and turn it into powerful and personalized marketing efforts – from tailored offer campaigns to sales automations.

Email marketing is, by far, the most effective method for communicating about your restaurant to guests. Social media might appear great on the surface, but social platforms make you pay just to access the audience you have cultivated.
Get in front of your audience with the only email marketing service built for sports bars and show them why you’re the sports HQ for your neighborhood.
Embed Your SportsTV Guide Schedule
The number one reason why guests visit your sports bar is to watch sports! So let them know exactly what games you plan on showing on your TVs with the STVG Email Widget.
This short code embeds your sports TV schedule directly into your email. You can manually choose the games or let our Q-Score algorithm choose it for you. Either way, your guests will know when the games are and when to swing by your location to watch!
It comes in two sizes and is branded to your bar’s colors and tagline.

STVG HQ allows you to create amazing automations, saving you countless marketing hours that could be spent elsewhere without quality suffering. Set up reoccurring emails based on date and time, or triggered by a particular interaction, such as clicking a link. This means you get your message to your guests exactly when you want without lifting a finger.
Your options are endless and are fully customizable to your needs.
Easily Customizable to Your Brand
When you sign up for the STVG HQ, we walk you through the customization process as part of the on-boarding, so every email you send automatically pulls in your branded colors, logo, and social media links. From there, you’ll be able to update colors, logos, images, and links on the fly to get the right look and feel for your campaigns.
