Have they got a spot for him?

Have we got a 'spot' for him?

Yes we freed one up when Tangata went to Halifax I believe when we were allegedly shopping for AF

Maybe you could inform me how I would go about convincing A man whose not for spending money on promoting the club or up for any kind of advertising.
You may recall his negative comments regarding advertising and promotion about 4 years ago.
The club do nothing to encourage new support, they just hold their hand our at season ticket time for the usual suspect to cough up..

Perhaps having a successful team would be the best way to advertise the club, if money weren't available for advertising bearing in mind sponsors will also be having a difficult time financially for the last 18 month or so.

Well that's not actually true is it.
They do market a lot. Maybe not in the way you want but plenty of stuff online about Wakefield

General question regarding the club marketing and hitting their target market.
Does anyone receive emails from the club regarding what is 'happening' eg the re-signing of Batch, signing of Sadiq etc.
I know that the club have my email address via season ticket info, but I think that it just lies dormant as I've never had a 'marketing' email from them. It would be another way of informing fans of offers in the shop or, we as major stakeholders, informing us first about signings etc. before everybody and his dog knows via some other information channel.

In my opinion, I see both arguments.

Yes they do online stuff and on social media, but if you weren't a fan of the club, your less likely to look at their website, Facebook or twitter feeds. Also bot everyone uses social media. This isn't necessarily going to bring in more fans, which is what's needed.

I wonder how Vasty got on with his leaflet drops. That type of marketing is a numbers game, but it can work.

I get it. But it's a money game.
If haven't got enough money you need to find a good balance between marketing and product quality.

We have 28,000 FB users following the Wakefield Trinity page. So there are quite a number on there to impress that don't come to games.

Saying that Leeds have 180k following them. Wigan have 93k and Cas have 67k.
We really need to improve our reach on social media.

Must be the age spread of the relevant fans. We do get quite a few on here who state that they don't do FB or Twitter. Amazing that a backwater like Cas can get so many followers but possibly the zoo effect of people looking in?
