3. The Beer Baller story
How it all began
It's the year 2017. Rico and Flo are buddies. Both are students and like to drink a beer or two after work. One day, Rico's ex-girlfriend brings a portable beer pong table and the excitement is endless. From this point on, the table must not be missing anywhere. Whether in the park, by the lake or at a house party, the table was always there. However, the love with Rico's girlfriend at the time does not last. The girlfriend is gone and unfortunately so is the table. However, both guys have fallen in love with beer pong so much that they are looking for a new table. They find a few tables, but they are not of good quality and they don't like the designs either. So why not create one yourself and then use it to organize beer pong tournaments? The idea for BeerBaller was born.
2018
At the beginning of 2018 the time had finally come. A truck full of beer pong tables suddenly stood in front of the door and so the company founding BeerBaller GbR was on the agenda. Now it was official and out of the passion for beer pong a real society had emerged.
The first customer was the local brewer Braustüb'l. With his support as a sponsor, the first beer pong event, the so-called "BeerBaller League", could be implemented. Over several weeks, over 150 participants took part and dueled. The grand finale took place in the courtyard of the Braustüb'l brewery. This was followed by monthly highlight tournaments in a wide variety of locations with a wide variety of game modes.
2019
In 2019, the event orientation changed and the focus was placed on the Bar Bachelor event series. This works like a pub crawl, but without a guide. The participants go through 10 bars this evening. The aim is to obtain his degree in the form of a certificate, the so-called “Bar Bachelor”. This is achieved when you have consumed at least one drink in each of the 10 bars. The Bar Bachelor now takes place in 15 cities in Germany. As a result, the company continued to develop and at the end of 2019 the GbR was converted into a GmbH. In the course of this, a high-quality LED table was also developed, as well as the shot pong. The cooperation with the gastronomy was expanded by the bar quartet. This is a combination of a normal quartet and a voucher booklet.
2020
In 2020, the events should be further expanded and scaled. The Bar Bachelor should be extended to other cities and with the Beer Pong Wednesday a weekly beer pong event series (initially in Darmstadt) was introduced. The Beer Pong Wednesday started successfully until Corona thwarted our plans. This means that no more physical events can be held until the end of the pandemic and the expansion plan had to be postponed. In order to still be able to offer people who are enthusiastic about beer pong a platform, the BeerBaller teamed up with Kiez Beerpong and the Becherhelden and organized social distance beer pong tournaments via zoom during the lockdowns in spring and autumn 2020.
However, the year of the pandemic was used to professionalize the company and take measures to enable future growth. The two founders took out outside capital in the form of loans totaling €170.000. The money was quickly invested in goods, new products and employees. Thus, the BeerBaller team began to grow and since the summer of 2020, several students have been an integral part of the team as interns or mini-jobbers. With this support, the company's online presence was further expanded and further products were developed. On Instagram, BeerBaller has a 5-digit number of followers for the first time.
With the Allblack table, a new beer pong table was developed, which should reach the masses with its elegant black design as a basic variant. With the Shot Pong Cherry, a second version of the successful Shot Pong Classic was developed, which convinces with a noble cherry wood design. In addition, the beer pong range has been expanded to include a beer pong mat, beer pong balls and colored beer pong cups and shot red cups. There are also cooperations with Dare Pong and Wer lacht Loses, which are sold via the company's own web shop. Various clothing designs were also created, so that BeerBaller t-shirts, caps, hats and hoodies are also being offered for the first time.
A look into the future
For 2021, the big goal is to break through the magic 1 million annual sales mark. In order to achieve this, more investments are to be made in online marketing and Amazon.com (USA), the largest market for beer pong equipment, is to be developed. In addition, the product portfolio in the area of drinking games is to be expanded. As soon as the corona restrictions allow it again, the Bar Bachelor and the Beer Pong events are to be scaled up further.
