Not every pub is set up to ensure that their customers can experience the biggest sporting events and enjoy the highest quality music. Here are 4 reasons why you should invest in a top-quality audio-visual system.

1 – It helps set the mood

The atmosphere of a pub can make or break people’s perception. A silent pub can feel awkward, whilst one that is bustling with life is inviting. A good audio system can help fill the silences if your pub is slightly quieter than usual, but also it means you can crank up the volume for a party to roll on the weekend!

Whilst not every pub is music-oriented, you will likely want to show sport, especially on the big occasions. This means that your audio system needs to cope with a much louder pub so that your customers don’t miss out on a second!

With a modern system, you can also seamlessly switch between live sport, music and back again. This allows you to keep the atmosphere building right up until kick-off and longer after the final whistle.

2 – Allows you to take advantage of live sports crowds

Not everyone is lucky enough to get their hands on tickets for the hottest sporting events. Many look to pubs as a great place to enjoy matches with other like-minded people. Whether it’s Football, Rugby or Cricket, pubs have been a central place to watch games for many years now. You just can’t beat watching sports in a communal space, especially if you are not lucky enough to have a ticket. 

If you can build a reputation as the perfect venue to watch sports, then you will see increased footfall on matchdays and hopefully build a regular string of customers who come back for more!

3 – Return as a community hub

Pubs have always been a hub for the community. Since COVID, however, whilst slightly recovered, this has been lost. By creating a great atmosphere in your pub, through live sports or music, you will see people return to the pub that they love.

Your pub will then encourage interaction among customers, creating a welcoming environment that draws people together, and solidifying the pub’s position as a central gathering place for the community.

Pubs have also started to use their screens to promote local businesses. In return for a fee, you can display advertising on days when there is no sport to show. This is a win-win for local businesses as well as your pub.

4 – Engage with your customers

Engaging with your customers allows you to gauge interest in whether they would like you and the pub to show sporting events and have a great music/ audio system. After all, they are the reason your pub will be successful. 

Some demographics prefer a place to have a quiet drink, whilst others are after a bustling atmosphere. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach.

From this, you might find that your area is dying out for a dynamic venue. A state-of-the-art AV setup can differentiate you from your competitors, especially if you are in a location with a high pub density.
