Bulls have probably been one of the best teams or markEting over the last few years from cut price season tickets that many on here thought wAS a good idea, apparantly NOW theres ticket for their easter game against Leeds on E Bay for £5, they've towed mobile advertising around Bradford Theyve had some of the best pre match entertainment (often better than what followed!) And theyre still BUST
as a club we decided to work within the money we have and not to speculate in the hope that spending lots of money will automatically bring in crowds
What we have tried are things such as . Frank has been into just about every school in Calderdale giving away Mascot packages and free kids tickets, Halicat is at some event or other just about evey week targeting youngsters, we've tried advertising in the local paper, we have a mobile application for those fans who can be bothered to down load it, we let armed forces in free, we send out thousands of e mails to our mailing lists before every home game courtesy of the Clubs main Sponsor Reactiv Media group, players attend local events gyms etc, we put up posters in just about every pub in the town centre, we have a regular spot on the local radio station, all this effort but still working within what we have and we're NOT Bust.
what else might we do to attract more supporters perhaps a better web site some people have said " or lets have more "free " tickets we believe possibly falsely that by investing in Karl and the players that he wanted we would build a team that might even top the table and that might persuade some former and possibly new supporters to come along to games
after all we lost a load of support the year we lost just about very game in SL.so perhaps a winning team might be the best advertising of all?
And after all the easiest way to double our attendances wold be for all those who come along to games to bring one friend, family member, colleague etc
and that way we'd have more money to invest in further promotional activities without jepoardising the financial structure of our club
Mike R Sorry for the rant But I do feel a lot better now!!!!
