If you own or manage a bar or restaurant, you have probably considered installing DIRECTV satellite service for your customers. It is important to consider this during this time of year, as the NFL season starts soon and fans will be looking to watch their favorite teams via the NFL Sunday Ticket package at their favorite bar. So is the DIRECTV worth it if you have a small business?
Commercial DIRECTV is of course a different animal than satellite TV customers. Certain types of businesses have to have some sort of video entertainment. These include bars and certain kinds of restaurants. But many other small business owners are finding that commercial DIRECTV service is increasing business. These include hair salons, barber shops, banks, gyms, and small retail stores.
Obviously if you decide to set up DIRECTV service in your business, you are looking at an additional expense. One good thing about commercial DIRECTV service is that it generally increases business. In fact, of the DIRECTV commercial customers polled last year, 90% feel that having DIRECTV satellite service increased their business. That is a pretty strong statistic favoring the addition of satellite TV service to your business.
DIRECTV can also help you in getting the word out about their premium television service. Free marketing materials are included with your DIRECTV business bundle. These include things like banners and table marketing tents that help your customers see that DIRECTV is now in your bar or restaurant.
Now when it comes to sports programming, DIRECTV is certainly head and shoulders above Dish Network and other cable TV companies when it comes to offering the best content. You will find exclusive packages like the NFL Sunday Ticket and the NCAA Mega March Madness tournaments only on DIRECTV. NFL football and NCAA basketball are top draws when it comes to bringing sports fans to your bar or restaurant. During these events, you don’t want your customer going down the street to your competitor because they have DIRECTV and you don’t.
So what kind of money are you going to have to shell out for a DIRECTV commercial account? That can vary quite a bit, as you will be charged based on how many people will be watching games in your bar. If you have a fairly small setup, you will find DIRECTV commercial rates as low as $51.99 a month for the first year. You will also get free standard installation and two HD receivers with a package like the DIRECTV Commercial Choice package.
Of course many bars and restaurants have multiple TV’s, so of course its best to call to get a customized quote on what service will cost. Also be sure to ask for a price quote on the NFL Sunday Ticket package and the NCAA Mega March Madness bundle if you plan on offering these premium channels to your customers.
Who else can benefit from a DIRECTV business account? Here are a few types of businesses that have made the jump to satellite television service.
Salons
Spas
Barber shops
Banks
Auto Dealers
Fire Stations
Dental Offices
Doctor’s Offices
Fitness Facilities
Private Offices
Any other location where your customers may have wait times.

It is true, TV can make a big difference to restaurants, one place i know has their own ads running on the TV to promote new menus. i think it s agood idea.
