Days Contract

Sports bars and restaurants are about to experience their biggest 39-day revenue window in four years — but most of them have no plan to market it effectively on social media. Walk in with a done-for-you package and a clear price, and you'll close 3–5 clients this week without a single sales call.

• Walk into 10 sports bars and restaurants near you — ask to speak to the manager directly
• Check their current Instagram — if it has fewer than 3 posts in the last 2 weeks, they need you
• Search Facebook for local bars hosting watch party events — they're already motivated
• Post in local Facebook business groups offering a free 7-day trial for the first 3 clients
• Message restaurants on Instagram that have low engagement — your DM is your pitch

The In-Person Pitch

What to Say When You Walk In

"Hi — I'm a social media manager and I specialize in helping sports bars get more foot traffic during the World Cup. I noticed your Instagram hasn't been very active — I have a 39-day package that covers all match days for $499. Most of my clients see a 20–30% increase in walk-ins on match days from Instagram alone. Do you have 5 minutes to see what that looks like?"

Tools You Need — All Free or Near Free

Use Canva (free) for graphics. Meta Business Suite (free) for scheduling. Later (free tier) for planning. ChatGPT for caption drafts. Your entire operation costs less than $20/month and you're charging $499 per client. That's a very clean margin.

5 Clients.
$2,500.

Every sports bar in your city is about to get busy. The ones with social media managed will get busier. Be the person who manages it.
