Essio Marketing are announcing the up and coming launch of a new live sports bar website and are offering a free 6 month trial to bar owners. For the past 12 months we have been developing a new and exciting website www.livesportsbars.tv, the site is due to be launched, as planned, this summer (2010). A new and exciting website that will provide sports enthusiasts in the UK with the location and features of bars and pubs that are showing televised live sporting events.
Searching for a Live Sports Bar
Whether you’re searching for live premiership games, Rugby Union, League, Golf, or SKY Sports 3D, LiveSportsBars.TV will locate a sports bar, near to you, that is showing your sporting event. The visitor will be able to enter their team, event or sport, and enter their postcode or town, and will then be provided with a selection of sports bars that fit their search requirements.
The Live Sports Bars Profile Page
Once the visitor has been provided with a choice of live sports bars, they can then click through to each sports bars profile to learn more, for instance, do they serve food are kids allowed and even the kind of atmosphere they can expect.
Each live sports bar will have its own dedicated page where users can find a televised fixture list for that pub or bar. These have either been chosen by default in the case of SKY Sports or by selection to include terrestrial TV such as the FA Cup, Wimbledon and the World Cup.
Once the visitor is satisfied that they have found a bar that is screening their event they can then use the map provided to find the best route. Simple but very effective!
Keep Your Regulars up to Date with Your Live Sporting Events
How often do you call all the local pubs, which are often engaged as everyone else has the same idea, and asked ‘Are you showing tonight’s game?’ Well not anymore, because now all you have to do is visit LiveSportsBars.Tv which will have an individual web page for every sports bar registered. Each bar will have the
Free 6 Month Trial - No Obligations
ability to control the information shown which includes a section to show their own sporting schedules. Your own customers can bookmark the page and visit whenever they need updating about upcoming sporting events.
Free Trial Listing for Two Bars in Every City within the UK – Be Quick
To get the ball rolling and to raise interest, we are offering a ‘free trial listings’ for the first two sports bars in every city and 1 free trial listing for the first sports bar in every town to apply. For the benefit of London we have broken this city into its respective towns ie Clapham, Wimbledon etc. so there is room for over 200 free lsitings for sports bars in London. Please be quick as these free listings we suspect are going to go very quickly.
Why are we giving away Free Listings?
Simple, the reason is that this site’s functionality is essential to the visitor, and then the sports bar in this order. When Live Sport Bars .TV is launched we need the site to provide visitors with a result whenever they search for an event or bar. To achieve this we will give away free trial listings to the first bars in every city and town within the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland for six months.

What’s The Catch? There’s Always a Catch
There’s no catch it’s a straight trade off, we get a functional website from launch and the bar gets a free search engine optimised web page. I should also mention that any pub or bar that signs up for the free trial waivers the set up and registration fee mentioned below, as a gesture of good will from us to say thank you for taking the time to get involved at this early stage.
What Will the Cost be to Bars Who Miss the Free Trial Listing?
This site has been designed for functionality and to maintain user experience we have created a pricing structure that will encourage every bar in the UK to get involved. At these prices we expect bars that don’t even show SKY Sports or the foreign satellite channels to be enthusiastic about signing up.
One Off Set Up Fee of only £49.99+VAT
Subscription Fee: £9.99 + VAT per month (OR)
Subscription Fee: £99.99 + VAT Per Year

Why Is It So Cheap To Register As A Bar Owner?
It’s not cheap; it’s a reasonable price for every bar in the country. We’re aware as much as anyone about the increase in the price of a “pint”, and the costs incurred to show these live events in local bars and pubs around the country. we also appreciate just how much people enjoy going to the pub to watch a live sporting event. We have kept the price low as we want to encourage every single sports bar throughout the UK and Northern Ireland to come on board.
On a final point, please spread the word to pub owners and sports enthusiasts around the country that www.LiveSportsBars.Tv is launching in the summer. If you’re a webmaster of a sports themed site, please link to us and give us some juice. it would be greatly appreciated.
I will keep updating this blog entry to keep things simple and will do an update at the end of each week to keep you informed of the free trials that have been taken and in which town and city. If you own, or manage a sports bar that televises live games and your area is not on the list below, then why not take advantage of a free six month trial. No obligations, no commitments, just an enthusiasm for live sport.
If you want to ask any questions about the free listing or about the www.livesportsbars.tv please comment below or email me on chris.williams@essio-marketing.co.uk.
