Major sporting events present a unique opportunity for technology companies to promote their products and increase their sales. Specifically, during these events, consumers seek ways to enhance their experience by investing in new technological products. By increasing product visibility, targeting specific consumer audiences, and creating personalized shopping experiences within the corporate e-shop, with strategies such as banners, videos, content creation, motion graphics, call-to-action (CTA), specialized product presentation pages, and interest attraction, they prepare and influence visitors in real-time. Thus, conversion rates are enhanced, leading to higher sales volumes. Below, we analyze the main reasons that lead to an increase in demand for technology during sporting events, the products that typically benefit the most, and examples of digital marketing.

This leads to increased sales of 4K televisions, soundbars, and projectors, as viewers desire a cinematic experience from their homes. Examples: banners with images or graphics featuring television offers, videos showcasing the viewing experience with 4K, specialized product presentation pages.
