Billboards feature players

TCU football has debuted it's billboards to promote season ticket sales. Eyecatching, spirited billboards - creative.
"Reason #____ to support the Frogs" (action photos with individual player number that fits in the blank)
We're DUE a good campaign - after the Pony up! and the June Cometh campaigns, we need an attention-getter - hopefully, we'll have something with some pizzazz.

That will be tough now that the marketing and PR departments have been decimated with layoffs.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Why don't we start a "Marketing Thread" with contributions of catch phrases and descriptive campaigns?

Let PonyFans become the new marketing department for SMU Athletics.
Just send 'da money.

Knowing this group there would probably be way too many scantily clad young ladies involved in our ideas to fly safely past the censors. :lol:

We can go ahead and have interested parties submit their photos and then make a determination. I think the young ladies must at least be wearing a Mustang tattoo.

Bill boards = creative advertising. How many people do you think drive down I 35 and say Damn honey lets buy season tickets to the frogs look there’s a bill board. Think about the ROI with the Mustangs…


No, the answer for the SMU program is NOT advertising. Its wins. WIN and they will come; win and you will get the best type of advertising FREE.

When you do win consistently you will need a system that will not bottle neck potential season ticket holders and single game purchasers directly at the university ticket office.

WIN!

Booze & food, much more effective with creative advertising. In fact it’s more like directive adverting because you already have the need for it.

You made me thirsty...
