Firstly looking forward to the next 2 home games. But here is 3 simple low costs ideas from me.
1. Get the clubs LinkedIn page up and running and post about club events and especially the foundation to get companies interested.
2.Send out club news, promotions, info about the next game etc via an email database such as Mailchimp to our fan base. (Season ticket holders and people that buy match day tickets online or have in the past)
3. Sort out the online shop.
Great ideas - maybe if we started to win some games this may help ?
We see a lot of negative comments on social media and I get it, people get frustrated about things when they see the club they love not being run in a successful manner. Posts like this are a great example of positive suggestions for the club to look at and maybe act on
@mckviking I still get emails from the likes of Leeds and Featherstone because I bought tickets for an away game at some point.
Also a lot of companies are not on Facebook etc but are on LinkedIn, so if they sponsor a game they can share Widnes post to their business contacts on LinkedIn.
@dan1 another good suggestion for the club.
Tbh I have been guilty in the past of being negative towards how the club seems to be run as a part time club. Unfortunately that’s where we are atm. I listened to the podcast with SM and he said we only have 3 staff members! Moneys too tight to mention for us but this business club idea is a great step in the right direction. 50 members bringing in £5000 a month and hopefully it keeps growing
It took me a short while to see how much this business club actually made and it’s been impressive for sure!
50 companies £25 a week for a minimum of 12 months is definitely a positive amount in the coffers for not that costly and output
