5 Ways Fall Sports Can Infuse Your Sales!
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.

School Concessions: Great Ways to Make Money!
The best advice comes from those who have been there and done that. That’s why we are dedicating this blog post to sharing the insights of individuals who’ve served firsthand with school concession stands. Their knowledge and experience can benefit you!- As Booster Concessions Manager for a large high school, Lynn Spitznagel shares, “Plan orders ahead of time.” She relies on game-day favorites like popcorn, nachos and pretzels. It’s important to keep track of best-sellers and plan orders accordingly, so you don’t run out-of-stock at busy times.
- It’s an old adage, “You get what you pay for.” As a school’s VP of Ways and Means, Stephanie Hall knows that quality makes a difference. That’s why concession stand managers should not make purchases based on price alone. Consider the equipment features, supplies and service.
- Running a concession stand for an eventful booster club, David Roth says that custom menu items make a difference. “Always try to change it up; give variety; keep it interesting.” For example, his school makes a custom hot chocolate with whipped cream and crumbled candy bar on top.
- “Many schools don’t realize the opportunity with concessions coincides with events they’re already doing,” explained Katie Sharp who leads the concessions for a band booster program. Yourconcession stand is a resource you can use year-round for spirit days, concerts, teacher appreciation, etc.
- Steer clear of shopping the retail stores. “It was a disaster going to the store for products,” states Hall. She cited increased costs, out-of-stock items and time-consuming trips as the problems she encountered. Reputable vendors provide a value with the proper products, ease of ordering and proactive customer service.
- When participation and sponsorships of other fundraisers fail to deliver, the concession stand can be counted on as reliable. “The products all sell really well,” said Roth. He considers concessions as the main source of income year-round for all sports. With low costs, concession foods can provide a return in a relatively short time frame (many in just one weekend!).
