Sponsorship
(Bar/Pub/Restaurants with dart boards, or room for them!)
• Do you want to increase your profits? We have the answer. Sponsor a dart team!
• One of the most iconic bar games, darts, is loved and can be played at a variety of skill levels.
• Every Wednesday over one hundred and thirty five players from over twenty two teams play out of nineteen pubs in San Francisco alone.
• By sponsoring one dart team, you’ll have the home and visiting team in your pub bi-weekly, two teams means every week!
• Most teams have six or seven players. This means fifteen new customers in your pub for three to four hours; or every week with two teams. That is a big increase in profit for you!
“Any bar owner looking to increase business on a week night should consider joining the SFDL. It introduces a lot of new people to the bar. I haven’t met one person who plays in these events that isn’t fun. They also have special events on Saturdays and Sundays.”
— Joeseph Asaro, The Bar on Dolores
My brother and I have run Abbey Tavern for over 18 years and have been sponsors for the SFDL for many years. We have searched high and low for ways to boost our customers attendance on Wednesdays and have found that sponsoring a dart team or two does the trick. We just installed 2 additional dart boards (3 total) so we can host some of the SFDL’s special events. We have an additional 10-20 customers show up and our profits have gone up these nights upwards of 65%.
— Dermot Coll, Abbey Tavern
It’s always a good boost to business it also allows the bar to become another community space for people to come by. Having the league allows people to get involved in our bar when they might not usually. After they have good experiences they come back to play, but sometimes also just to hang out because they’ve had fun. It’s a great way to increase business and reach new customers.
— Sean Heany, Plough and Stars
Aside from increased weekly business, I find that dart teams create lasting bonds between our regulars and a sense of ownership with the bar. I believe this fosters a lasting customer loyalty in a city that has long had a tone impermanence.
