Company Team Strategies

Rep your business to win!

Since this is single bowling with no team limits, here are ways to maximize your business’s presence:

• The Owner’s Approach – Just yourself, but with company gear
• The All-Star Approach – Send your best 1–2 bowlers to compete
• The Team Approach – Bring 5+ bowlers to increase your odds
• The Client Approach – Invite clients to bowl on your team
• The Full Company Approach – Turn it into a company outing (huge fun!)

No limit on how many bowlers can represent your company – the more the merrier!

Dress to Represent

Show off your brand!

This is your chance to make your company visible on the lanes. Ideas:

• Company t-shirts, polos, or jerseys
• Branded gear (hats, jackets, etc.)
• Your company colors
• Matching outfits for larger teams
• Fun themed costumes tied to your business
• Anything that makes your business memorable

Bonus: Great outfits = great photos = great social media content for your business!

Sponsorship Opportunities

Businesses – put your brand front and center!

Sponsoring the Battle of the Businesses is a great way to:

• Get visibility with the entire BASA community
• Support a fun community-focused event
• Show off your business to a captive audience
• Build goodwill with fellow BASA members
• Get recognition throughout the event

Contact the BASA office at 210.549.7190 for sponsorship information.

The Auction

A great auction is part of the fun! Come ready to:

• Bid on exciting items and experiences
• Support the “give back” mission of the event
• Take home a treasure or two
• Have some friendly bidding wars with your BASA friends

Bring a way to pay – you don’t want to miss out on the item you have your eye on!

“Let’s give back!”

Part of what makes the Battle of the Businesses special is the giving-back component. The event combines the fun of tournament bowling with the good feeling of contributing to something bigger.
