CALL to ACTION - SMU Marketing and SMU FANS

Postby smuhype » Mon Sep 18, 2017 11:05 pm

Begging the Administration to get creative to drive some form of improved attendance.

ALL SMU FANS & STUDENTS --- Get to the BLVD early, Get into the Stadium early and let's give these players what they all deserve. Make it happen.

Night game, reasonable weather, and the most entertaining product we have had since '84.

Figure it out -- Discount tickets, give away all local organizations, 2 for 1 offers, press the advertising we are currently hearing, but somehow incent the Dallas area to engage. Not concerned about margins and revenue, more interested in any form of a butt in a seat. Print and give out Free T-Shirts, give away $5,000 to one lucky ticket holder (must be present to win).

DO WHAT IT TAKES NOW BEFORE WE ARE FORCED TO SWITCH COACHES AGAIN.

If those rednecks in Ft. Worth figured it out we can too --- Link the city to this product and we will never look back.

End the day 3-1 after a win and move on to conference play.

I heard that it is Parent's weekend/Family weekend - so that's a small plus.

Nice thoughts but it's a little late to have any effect this season.

TCU had this event where 300 or 400 kids ran across the field before the game started. that's free and exciting for the kids. Heck, I would run across the field and I'm much older than most of you.

any kid that can beat Peruna across the field gets a free (fill in the blank)

There are some things underway, but they can always be enhanced. Our mktg effort is always a frustration. Way too little action.

Love the enthusiasm, but TCU didn't "figure it out" and "link the city to the product" because they had some out of this world marketing campaign. They built a fan base with years of sustained winning, cracking the top 25, and beating teams that received local attention (Tech, Baylor, OU).

This year's team shows some promise but we aren't that far removed from 1-11 and 2-10 with the 2014 team labeled as the worst team in FBS history. A third of our home wins since 2014 have happened this month. We are only one year removed from a 5-7 season in which we followed a huge upset over Houston with a disgraceful performance against Memphis on Homecoming.

The marketing will come with the winning. Period.

Our attendance is already baked for this year.
We'd have to do well this season and market that for next season's tickets.
Just enjoy the extra arm and leg room at your seats this year.
