Sports Bar

Guest post by Jewel Cole

Sports are my life so it only made sense for me to open a sportbar a few years back.

All my buddies had been looking for a place to go here in town and since it is a small place there just wasn’t anything to suit our needs. It was a lot of work getting this place off the ground between all the permitting and the small business xo and dealing with vendors but I bought it outright and we (I say we because it’s my brother and I) have been running it now for about 3 years now.

I love going into work every day knowing I get to make all the important decisions and I also like being part of a team, too. My staff is great and the best part is I get to hang out with my buddies while I work – who could ask for anything better than that?

I don’t love spending all my time at a bar but you know? What are you going to do.

Should You Advertise?

Advertising is one of the aspects of marketing. If you're selling a product, service or idea, advertising will help you promote these product service and idea to a more bigger audience which, hopefully, will become curious or interested in what you have to offer.

Marketing plays an important aspect in selling, and we know that selling more gives the company organization more revenues. This is the reason why in some companies, they have marketing departments to take care of the branding and advertisement of their products, services or ideas.

If you can't afford to set up a marketing department in your company, business or organization, you can still advertise and have marketing people work on your marketing strategies without paying for labor and overhead costs associated with a fully-staffed marketing department.

How? By getting the services of an advertising agency.

Even if you can afford to have a marketing department, having an advertising agency to work on your marketing strategies can still be advantageous at times. Advertising agencies just focus on advertising developments, trends, innovations and technologies and have the knowledge and expertise to learn more about the target market.

Whether it's in-house or outsourced, advertising and marketing are important so to answer the question of "should you advertise?" the answer's gonna be a big YES.
