Easy ways to tie your business to the event to keep you top of mind.
2. Find your Audience Online. Thanks to geotargeting and social tags, create some fun and creative ads to target your audience around these sports venues and high traffic locations. Create attention-grabbing headers in your ads such as “Attention Golf Fans!” or “Spring Training Specials!”

Spend some time on your Instagram page and seek out consumers that are in the area, tagging photos, and comment or slide into their DM’s to let them know about your business, and any specials you have going on. Social Media has become the new Google when it comes to finding new restaurants and hot spots.
These big happenings can become big dollars for businesses, but plan ahead, spend some time and money investing in your marketing campaign, and don’t forget to have fun, and be creative!!
