CLAIM A SPONSOR SLOTWHY THIS CAN WORK
THE TRAFFIC IS TIME-BOUND
This is not evergreen local SEO. There is a short, obvious window where fans need help and spend fast. That makes a direct-response offer viable.
YOU ARE SELLING INTENT
The best pages answer commercial questions: where to eat, where to watch, where to stay, what to book on a free day. Those users are already close to spending.
SMALL OPERATORS CLOSE FASTER
The right customer is the owner, GM, or marketing lead who can justify a placement with one group booking, one high-intent customer, or one strong match-day rush.
KEEP THE OFFER NARROW
Three packages cover the real buying cases: a single page, a high-intent page plus email, or anchor inventory on the strongest planning pages.
SPONSOR PACKAGES
FOUNDING LISTING
A clean placement for one business on the page that already matches the fan intent.
- Sponsor card inside one relevant guide, food, fan, or match page
- Photo, 80-120 word write-up, and direct booking/reservation link
- Tracked sponsor CTA clicks and placement views
- One performance snapshot after the first traffic window
- Best for bars, restaurants, shops, fan groups, and single-location operators
FEATURED PARTNER
The default package for businesses where one group, booking, or match-day rush can cover the fee.
- Featured placement on one high-intent T2 page
- One match-day email mention tied to the most relevant Vancouver match
- Priority editorial angle for the fan segment that fits your business
- Tracked CTA clicks, placement views, and source-page screenshot
- Best for tours, experiences, premium dining, transport, and multi-location food brands
ANCHOR
Premium inventory for brands that want to own a major planning surface before kickoff.
- Anchor placement on one top-traffic page or a two-page sponsor combo
- One match-day email mention plus upgrade path to dedicated send
- Category-framed copy where exclusivity genuinely improves the page
- Two performance snapshots and post-campaign report
- Best for high-margin venues, hotel groups, transport, tours, and host-city brands
Best fit: restaurants, bars, watch-party venues, hotels, tours, travel businesses, soccer shops, fan groups, and host-city operators.
WHO SHOULD BUY
RESTAURANTS NEAR BC PLACE
Best fit if one extra table on a match day already covers the fee.
BARS & PUBS
Big-screen, pre-match, and post-match venues are easy sells if the listing sends even a small group.
HALAL & CULTURAL DINING
Strong fit when the guide can solve a very specific visitor need, not just generic discovery.
HOTELS & STAYS
Direct booking links matter because one room-night can pay back the package immediately.
TOURS & EXPERIENCES
Kayak, craft beer, food, and small-group operators can usually recover the fee with a single booking.
LOCAL OPERATORS
The sweet spot is owner-run or manager-run businesses where one person can say yes this week.

FINAL SPONSOR PLACEMENTS
BEFORE KICKOFF.
If the package cannot plausibly pay for itself with a few extra customers, you should not buy it. If it can, this is the cleanest way into the guide.
