Arcade Bar Marketing Services 

Engage More Potential Customers with Digital Marketing

The global market for arcade gaming is expected to grow to around $2 billion between 2025 and 2029. Owning an arcade bar is a smart way to jump on cutting-edge trends by offering entertainment along with food and drink. 

Marketing “barcades” poses a unique challenge. They need all the standard marketing strategies of regular bars and restaurants, including local SEO optimization, effective and user-friendly website design, and paid advertising campaigns.

Theme bars also need to effectively promote their unique offerings to their target audiences. This involves leveraging digital marketing best practices to show off what makes your bar unique — the atmosphere, arcade games and pinball machines, nostalgic decor, party packages, and more.

Answering Patrons’ Key Questions 

Why should customers choose your arcade bar over another option for a fun night out? Does it have retro arcade games or the latest VR headsets? Is it family-friendly or adults-only? Are there certain discount nights, tournaments, or memberships available?

A strong marketing strategy will help you communicate all these answers and more. This will boost your bar’s visibility and lead to increased foot traffic and revenue for your business.

Web Design and Development

SEO Design Chicago is well-positioned to elevate your arcade bar website and distinguish you from the competition. Our web design services are custom-quoted for each job. Our experienced designers can handle everything from updating and optimizing your website for relevant keywords to graphic design and technical optimization. 

If you are starting from scratch, we can help you determine the content management platform and web hosting service that best fit your needs and budget. We also offer web hosting services in-house. 

If you have an existing website that you know could be performing better, we can complete a technical SEO audit to find out where your content, meta tags, schema markup, design elements, and keywords can be adjusted to bring in more potential customers. 

Customers increasingly expect websites that load quickly and provide a smooth user experience. Our technical design team will ensure that your website operates smoothly on desktop and mobile screens. An appealing, easy-to-navigate website will make it more likely that your website will attract and keep new customers.

Our team has over a decade of experience running successful search, display, programmatic, and social ads. This aids your business growth by boosting your online visibility. Through this promotion strategy, businesses pay for each click on a targeted ad.

Our PPC team will work with you to define your marketing goals and choose the most effective keyword bidding strategy for you. We can create ad campaigns that help drive traffic to your arcade bar — all within your specified budget. 

Social Media Marketing

Real-life memories made together at the arcade can begin with social media interactions. Leveraging social media enables you to advertise themed nights, collaborate with local influencers, and connect directly with patrons.

Platforms like Instagram and Facebook can help you develop a brand that stands out from other options across the entertainment landscape. Video and image-based social media posts can give potential customers an immediate sense of your bar’s ambiance — casual, nostalgic, edgy, or family-friendly. Potential customers scrolling through their feed are also more likely to linger on engaging video content than static images. 

We will work with you to create a customized package of social media posts that help drive traffic to your digital presence. And of course, we will ensure that your social channels are optimized according to the latest knowledge about search engine optimization. 

At SEO Design Chicago, we will work with you to create a custom social media management package to help your social media campaigns effectively reach and resonate with your target audience.

Our social media services include: 

• Content creation
• Social media optimization
• Influencer marketing
• Metrics, analytics, and reporting
