Increase Fan Attendance By Using Sports Inflatables

By Stacey Massey


All levels of sports can benefit from the promotion of their program. Promotion helps increase attendance and both home and away games. If no fans are coming out to watch their team play, little money is being generated to pay for things the program might need. Sports inflatables create an exciting opportunity to entertain the crowd and get more people in those empty seats.

Inflatable sports tunnels are very popular in high school and college level sporting events. They are often seen used during football, soccer, basketball, and hockey games. The home team runs down the tunnel during their entrance and bursts forth on to the playing area. The entrance is usually surprising and immediately brings fans to their feet with loud cheers.

Sponsored ads can also be placed on these inflatable tunnels, which draws the attention of new supporters. Essentially, you can turn a fun addition to a game into another marketing tool. These ads are usually paid, so you are generating income for the sports program at the same time.

Another popular option is inflatable tents. They can be seen at sporting events of all types. They can be set up quickly and an exclusive area for the fans is instantly created. They also make a great area to do an autograph signing with players. You can also place sponsor advertisements on these items and increase potential sponsorship exposure even further.

Inflatable batting cages are often seen set up near baseball games. These interactive options allow the fans to show off their skills and participate in a fun activity. A fee can be charged for this activity or it can be used as a means of giving away prizes. Some great prize options include free tickets, team gear and of course cash. These types of activities can draw out a large crowd and get them more involved with a team, which in turn fills the stands.

Inflatables are convenient enough to use during home or away games. Once deflated and folded up, they are small to transport. While on the road, they can provide a boost to visiting team attendance. Home game sales are always much easier to get and have the greatest financial benefit, but teams still need their fans while they are playing in other cities.

Local media usually love events that have several inflatables featured. With a tunnel and a tent for an impromptu meet and greet, local media is more likely to do a feature story on the team. A local news feature can get the attention of many new fans and provide enough incentive for them to start attending games.

Sports inflatables are a cheap investment that can be used for many years of promotion and marketing. With proper care and storage, they should last for a long time, before they need replacing. They create exciting experiences for the fans and provide interactive fun for ticket holders of all ages. They also generate a substantial amount of income through the display of sponsor advertising. Many new sponsors can be found when new methods of advertising are presented to them.
