Survey: Twin Cities Professionals Think the Super Bowl will Give Their Business Enhanced Attention, BUT, They Will be Happy When It’s Over
MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) January 17, 2018 -- According to a new survey of nearly 100 Twin Cities professionals, the upcoming Super Bowl’s stint in Minnesota will give their businesses attention, but it will be short lived.
The survey was conducted by downtown Minneapolis-based YA, the market leader in delivering high-impact, data-driven marketing promotions for the nation’s most respected brands.
Nearly half (40 percent) of those surveyed believe having the Super Bowl in the Twin Cities will bring their companies enhanced attention and publicity.
“Minneapolis has one of the most vibrant downtowns in the nation, and we’re ready to show the world our robust business, entertainment and downtown residential offerings,” said YA CEO and mpls downtown council (mdc) Executive Committee Member Chris Behrens. “With this past weekend’s Vikings win, we could be on the road to making history if our Vikes get to play the big game in our big city.”
And while the hype here has increased to a roar for now, less than a third (29 percent) of respondents believe the Super Bowl will help bring the company more business long term.
However, Twin Cities professionals are making the most of it in the near term. Half say their company will host Super Bowl parties for employees and less than one quarter (22 percent) say extra traffic and detours will hurt their business.
And while nearly a third (27 percent) are marketing to Super Bowl attendees in hopes of getting more business, nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of respondents say they will be happy when the Super Bowl is over.
