If you’re a business owner, you know that you’re always trying to do more with less. That’s never been more true than today. You’re getting squeezed from every direction. To make matters worse, it seems like there’s a new article every day about how you need to give your employees more benefits and create a better work environment.
Maybe you’re old-school like me. I think work is for working and play time is for playing. That’s not to say work can’t be enjoyable, but we’re all there for a reason. But there are two whole generations behind me that value the work “experience” as much as they value pay or traditional benefits. But you’re not made of money. You can’t give them everything under the sea just to keep them. So what’s the best value?
Believe it or not, it’s not internet.
Workers today know that their internet habits are being monitored. If they’re on company Wi-Fi, they know that they may not be able to get to their favorite social. If they’re using their own cell connections on their phones, they know that the boss is going to see them. Believe it or not, millennials and Gen-Z folks often have better internet discipline than most of us older people. They’re a lot more comfortable letting texts go unread during office hours.
So how can you show your workers that you value them, and give them the entertainment they want? Believe it or not, it’s good old fashioned satellite TV.
Satellite TV? Really?
Yep.
Satellite TV has several advantages in a business environment. It’s also a proven crowd-pleaser in large groups. Let’s deep dive into it and maybe you’ll agree with me.
- Satellite TV has the news and sports your employees want. News and sports are great additions to a lunchroom. They keep people’s attention and give them an idea how much time has passed. Both of these are smart ideas for a lunchroom.
- Satellite TV doesn’t clog up your internet. You know that not only is business internet slower than home internet, it’s also more expensive! Satellite TV works without any effect on your internet at all.
- Satellite TV is a proven winner when people need to work weekends. When you need to bring people into the warehouse for weekend work, satellite TV will keep things humming along. You can let people have their favorite game or whatever on in the background while they work. It’s a proven crowd-pleaser.
The elephant in the room: sports
OK, let’s talk about sports. NFL Sunday Ticket has moved to streaming this year. I’m not going to deny it. But your local team’s broadcasts probably haven’t. You can watch your local team on a local network affiliate, probably CBS or FOX. When we’re talking about other sports, you can still get all of them on satellite. That’s not likely to change anytime soon, especially if you’re talking about local teams. In fact, recent changes in local sports networks might mean more broadcasts that are more accessible to more people.
Bottom line here is that you don’t need streaming to get great local sports. Satellite TV is all it takes, and it works better than streaming at least in 2023 and 2024.
Choose DIRECTV for Business
You have a choice when it comes to how you spend your company’s money. DIRECTV for Business is economical and smart. Most packages cost the same as they cost for home users. The only time you’ll pay a bit more is if you put the TV in an area accessible to the public. Public-facing areas have to abide by copyright laws in a way that private areas don’t.
Here’s the secret though… if you call DIRECTV’s main number they won’t be able to help you. The company itself doesn’t work with businesses. They depend on dealers like Signal Connect to do that. Small dealers can provide a level of customer service that big call centers can’t.
