Rising costs, shrinking membership numbers, and the constant search for sustainable revenue can leave committees feeling stretched thin. You've likely tried the usual fundraising approaches, from quiz nights to summer fairs and membership drives. They help, but they're time-intensive and often yield modest returns.
What if your club could generate steady income without adding to your workload? At Bowlr, we've developed a solution that transforms an unused screen in your clubhouse into a valuable advertising asset. Our News & Advertising Module helps clubs unlock sustainable revenue through local business partnerships and modern digital technology.
If you'd like to learn more, why not call us on 01202 684400? We'd be happy to answer your questions and talk you through everything Bowlr has to offer, so don't hesitate to get in touch!
Simple Setup and Low Investment
Getting started with club advertising couldn't be easier. We provide everything you need to transform your clubhouse screen into a revenue-generating asset with minimal fuss.
For a one-off setup fee of just £300, you'll receive a plug-and-play TV box that connects directly to any existing screen or monitor with an HDMI port. No technical expertise is required for installation or daily operation.
Most clubs recoup their investment within weeks of signing their first sponsor, and remote content management through our intuitive system means updates take minutes, not hours.
Flexible Revenue Generation
Create a predictable income stream that supports everything from green/rink maintenance to facility upgrades without organising another fundraising event.
Sell advertising slots to multiple local businesses eager to reach your membership base. You set your own pricing structure and rotation schedule to suit your club's needs, offering monthly or annual packages that create recurring revenue.
Feature as many or as few advertisers as you choose, growing at your own pace. Generate passive income that works quietly in the background throughout the year.
Enhanced Club Communications
Thanks to sponsored content, your screen becomes a powerful communication tool that keeps members informed and engaged without relying on noticeboards or email alone.
Display internal club announcements and important updates throughout the day. Promote upcoming competitions, social events, and membership offers instantly.
You can highlight member achievements and celebrate club milestones, while reducing printing costs and ensuring messages reach everyone who visits your clubhouse.
Local Business Partnerships
Your members provide exactly what advertisers value: a captive audience who spend quality time at your venue each week.
Members spend hours at your club playing, socialising, and watching matches. This provides quality exposure that fleeting online ads or crowded billboards simply cannot match. Local businesses gain affordable sponsorship opportunities that build genuine community goodwill, as the advertising feels natural rather than intrusive.
Sponsors aren't just buying ad space; they're supporting a valued local institution, strengthening ties between your club and surrounding businesses through meaningful partnerships.
Effortless Management
Once advertisers are on board, the system runs itself. You're not organising events, manning stalls, or chasing donations.
Control all content remotely through our straightforward management system, deciding what appears on your screen and when. Update advertising slides and club messages in minutes from any device, maintaining complete flexibility without technical hassle.
There's no ongoing event organisation or time-intensive fundraising activities required. Focus on what matters: great bowls and a thriving community, as your screen generates income automatically in the background.
No problem at all. You control how many advertising slots appear and can adjust the rotation frequency to suit your needs. Many clubs start with just two or three advertisers and grow organically. Between commercial content, display your own club messages, events, and announcements to keep the screen engaging and valuable for members.
Absolutely. You maintain complete control over all content appearing on your screen. If a business relationship ends or you need to make changes, simply update the system remotely. Advertisers can be added, paused, or removed at any time without affecting other content or requiring technical support from our team.
Yes, a basic internet connection is required for the TV box to function properly and receive content updates. However, the system uses minimal bandwidth and works with standard club Wi-Fi (though we suggest hardwiring the box with an Ethernet cable). Once content is loaded, the slides rotate automatically throughout the day, so brief connection interruptions won't disrupt the display or viewing experience.
The TV box works with any standard television or display monitor with an HDMI input. If your club doesn't currently have a suitable screen, basic TVs are widely available and affordable. Many clubs find this a worthwhile investment given the revenue potential.
Yes, the system works perfectly for outdoor clubs, though practical considerations apply. The screen needs to be positioned in your clubhouse, pavilion, or indoor social area where members gather regularly. Weatherproof outdoor screens require different technology, but can be utilised so long as they are compatible with the TV box. However, indoor positioning still provides excellent visibility and advertising value throughout your playing season.
