Bud Light Capitalizes on the Madness with A Game of Basketball-Themed Quarters

Anheuser-Busch is capitalizing on the madness surrounding the 2011 NCAA Tournament with a Bud Light Shoot for the Championship tabletop quarter-bouncing game at select retail establishments across the country. Throughout the tournament, AB offered consumers ages 21+ an opportunity to compete to win a trip to Las Vegas for a Final Four competition with $25,000 on the line.

Anheuser-Busch produced March to the Championship themed tabletops and a quarters game with a creative basketball thematic. Check out two (2) pictures of their retail activation below:

Create Moments of Opportunity for Fans In-Game

Sports organizations looking for new ways to reward fans attending their games should consider creating "moments of opportunity" for fans. These moments, driven by corporate partner-led promotions, are terrific because they can generate excitement during dull moments in the action and can occur at any point during the game.

As teams look for new ways to generate interest and excitement amongst fans, more are turning to these type of rewarding moments. As an example, check out a "Bud Light Quench Time" promotion recently offered by the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL. The Steelheads identified a three (3) minute period in the game where if the team scored, all fans in attendance would be treated to a discounted price on Anheuser-Busch products for the rest of the game.
