The Vancouver Canadians don’t just draw crowds — they build momentum. With packed home games at Nat Bailey Stadium and a loyal summer fan base, the team has become a city-wide sensation.

But you don’t have to be a vendor near the ballpark to benefit from the buzz.

If you’re a local business — retail, hospitality, service-based or online — here are six creative ways to tap into the Canadians’ popularity and turn game-day spirit into revenue.

🧢 1. Themed Promotions

Create baseball-inspired specials tied to game days.
Examples:

• “Double Play Discount: 20% Off During Home Games”
• “Canadians Win, You Win – Free Appetizer Tomorrow!”
  This works for restaurants, retailers, salons, and more.

🏷️ 2. Ticket Tie-Ins

Partner with the team (or unofficially ride the wave) by offering perks for fans with ticket stubs.
“Show your Nat Bailey ticket, get 10% off” adds community goodwill and foot traffic.

🎉 3. Watch Parties & Events

Host game-day gatherings for fans who can’t make it to the stadium. Offer themed drinks, jerseys, or contests for best-dressed fans.
This can build repeat traffic and social buzz.

🤝 4. Local Sponsorships

Even without a stadium presence, you can become a local sponsor of little league teams, community events, or fan clubs connected to the Canadians.
It builds credibility, exposure, and loyalty — all at modest cost.

🧃 5. Collaborate with Merch Makers

Team up with a local artist, print shop, or apparel vendor to create a custom Canadians-inspired design. Sell it with a revenue split or offer it as a gift-with-purchase.

📲 6. Leverage Social Media Hashtags

Join the online conversation with creative, timely posts tied to the team’s performance. Use hashtags like:
#GoCanadians #NatBaileyNights #VancouverBaseball

Even a simple meme or celebratory post can drive engagement.

⚾ Final Inning

You don’t need a booth at Nat Bailey to cash in on Vancouver’s love for baseball. With a little creativity, your business can become part of the Canadians culture — building brand loyalty while celebrating community spirit.

The fans are already engaged. Now’s your chance to play ball.
