Banana Ball Playoffs: Business Toolkit
Banana Ball started right here in Savannah. This October, we're turning four days of playoff excitement into a citywide celebration – and we want your business involved.
🍌 Mark your calendars: October 1-4, 2026 🍌
Our goal is to create an experience that extends far beyond the ballpark, giving locals and visitors a compelling reason to explore, stay longer, and soak up the excitement of Banana Ball Playoff Weekend – ticket or no ticket. Every watch party, every banana-themed special, every dressed-up storefront gives fans a reason to walk through your door.
To make participation seamless, we’ve created this turnkey toolkit filled with ready-to-use resources for:
- Social Media: Graphics and suggested captions to excite your audience.
- Community Participation Ideas: We've taken the guesswork out of it. We're sharing a variety of ideas for your business to get in on the action.
- Ready-to-Print Materials: Flyers and signage for on-site engagement.
- Complete Access: A spot in our campaign and on our digital Bananas pass
Free to join. Sign up, and you're live.
Free to join – no catch!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
It's simple: run a Banana Ball-themed special, host a watch party, dress your storefront – however it makes sense for your business.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
Promotion on Visit Savannah's channels: your activation gets featured alongside our official campaign, putting your business in front of fans actively looking for something to do.
A spot on the digital pass: a free pass fans carry right in their phone wallet that surfaces your specials, deals, and events to the entire fanbase, not just the 5,000 with Playoff tickets. The Bananas will be promoting the weekend and the pass itself to their fans – bringing even more attention to everything on it.
This free toolkit: below, we've created signage, social templates, and activation ideas, so you're not starting from scratch.
