Marketing and business ideas ? : Sat Apr 18, 2009 10:40 pm  

In these times of recession does anyone have any ideas on how Wire could have a full stadium every week.
(don't state the obvious of play good rugby)
also ideas of making money for the club (help pay off a little tax bill maybe)

People are slagging off the board of late so maybe if you were in charge what would you do different?

We deffo need more marketing around the town. I've mentioned it before, but if you go into Leeds, the Rhinos are everywhere! Overhere we have a bus and some posters advertising the next game. For one I would just get the logo or words about as much as I could, just reminding the town that the clubs there, keeping it in the forefront of the mind as much as poss.

I would definetly have on the enterance roads to Warrington under the "Welcome to Warrington" I would have "Home of the Warrington Wolves" and the logo on there

Doubt there are many people in Warrington who don't know there is a Rugby team in Warrington.

Getting them into the ground is a totally different matter.
You mean the 12 posters in various pubs in Warrington town centre don't work!

half the ticket prices fill the stadium sell more food etc simples depending if warrington get a share of the profit from food etc but it will help encourage the players and help out families who can't go due to finacial reasons

Yea but I mean to constantly have the logo and stuff in their face, just to make people at least just think about them. I remember the first home game of this season in town centre in the morning wearing the shirt, and someone asked me "have warrington got a game this weekend?"

It was the first home game of the season, should have been marketed to fook!

Not bloody charging for the under-5's would be a start

I'm not paying for my 6-month old to sleep through a game

I think the tickets should have Lee Briers' on them and we should name the ground 'The Briers'.

How about (i know this would have to be countrywide) but how about four halves of 20minutes. Which would give people more time to get beer.

Understand what your saying Ash, but long gone are the days when you can advertise, encourage someone by throwing flyers in their face. Need to be a wide promotion but very well targeted.
