Marketing Push : Mon May 11, 2009 12:10 pm  

While saturdays game is still fresh in everyones mind, I feel the club may find it beneficial to capitalise on this by trying to keep the interest locked-in!

Has anyone got any decent ideas?

I for one think it may be a good idea to push for season ticket sales in the courier slightly discounted for the games missed so far, anyone agree?

As regards to the marketing side of life i have strong links with Phoenix FM and can produce advertisements for up and coming halifax games. I have been doing these since we hosted widnes at home! This could possibly boost numbers up ever so slightly. However listen this week in calderdale on 96.7FM or listen online at www.phoenixfm.co.uk.

I hear from a lot of "possible" supporters 2 different reasons why they don't come and watch.

the first is that they won't come until SL is played again in Halifax - well sod em, they will only come if we are in SL

and the second is the group who say that our league is too easy and they won't see a competititve match

Couldn't the club suggest and shame some of the possible supporters by suggesting they suffer from stereotypical "SL snobbery" by accusing they are missing out on the best value for money of rugby entertainment anywhere in west yorkshire at the moment. Surely there are enough quotations floating about that could be used for this style of promotion - we even got a big up in stevo's colume in the league express

What they really mean is they wont come until you are competing in SL , they would turn up for the 1 st couple of matches but if you lost them thyd just call you crap not to be seen again until you play Bradford

The 2 nd lot are just plain lazy buggers

What they both are is not true fans of the club and most likely never will be again

You need to bring in totally new fans without the ' baggage ' these ' life long ' supporters have

That makes around 4 games a week throughout each season since the club was founded in 1873.

Firstly, I don't believe that you are over 136 years old and , secondly, how can I put this politely?, you talk a load of crap!
