Advertise your product or service to our stadium venues

Do you have a product or service that would be ideal for use in a stadium?  We can help you to advertise and promote these, as well as open doors for you…

Stadium Experience is a not-for-profit marketing collaboration with around 40 major football, rugby and cricket club members.  Our aim is to promote their non-matchday activities, such as a venue for conferences and events.  We are currently meeting virtually on Zoom, to discuss the latest industry updates and share best practice.

As part of these meetings, we can provide time for companies to present their product or service for use in stadium venues.  The benefit of this opportunity is meeting many clubs all at one time, saving time and money in travelling to each club individually.  This is the ideal opportunity for companies to get that initial foot in the door, and enable further discussions.

The Audience

We have two audiences available.  The first includes conference, events sales and hospitality sales managers from each stadium venue.

The second group includes public catering and kiosk management from each stadium (covering fan catering on a matchday).  This audience is particularly keen to hear more about food and drink products as well as catering and kiosk innovations.

All member venues (around 40) are invited to each meeting, and the list of members can be found here.  Recent new members include; Blackburn Rovers, Burnley, Charlton Athletic, Gloucester Rugby, Leeds United, Munster Rugby, St. George’s Park, St Helen’s Rugby, Stoke City and West Ham United.

Presenting to stadium venues

Your presentation slot will include up to 15 minutes for you showcase your product or service to your chosen audience, and time for any questions.  You are welcome to do formal presentations, more relaxed demonstrations, or something else entirely!  In the current climate, our meetings have moved to a virtual format using Zoom.  The additional benefit of this format is increased attendance, no travel costs, and the opportunity to have your presentation recorded and sent to all of our 150+ contacts at around 40 stadium venues.

In addition to this, the list of meeting attendees and their email address will be sent to you after the meeting for you to follow up directly with clubs.  Your contact details will also be shared with all clubs that are part of the Stadium Experience group.

Watch the video below, to see how you can promote your products and services to our stadium venues.

Next Meeting Dates

We meet regularly throughout the year.  The 2021 dates will be confirmed in line with the latest Government updates and stadium re-opening plans.  The majority of meeting presentation opportunities will be available after the June re-opening date.

Testimonials

Here are some testimonials from past presenters at our meetings.

Hi-Impact

Presenting at Stadium Experience meetings has led directly to a number of bookings for our digital media services at stadia all over the UK. Being afforded the opportunity to speak before relevant representatives from so many different venues greatly reduces the time and hassle of cold calling, and when presenting at subsequent meetings we have been able to call upon existing clients in the room to give their testimonials to the group, significantly adding to the trusted reputation we are developing in the industry. Investing in Stadium Experience presentations has been extremely worthwhile and we will certainly be continuing to present as well as exploring other ways to promote ourselves through the group. – Simon Sloan, Managing Director, Hi-Impact
