Marketing and Promotional Initiatives

[dong]

Leinster are trying to broaden their market and are promoting games now given their current "European Champions" status. Fairview would not remotely be a rugby area but is a through point for traffic going to Clontarf/Sutton/Howth which would be slightly more rugby orientated.
That the local football clubs (Shels, Bohs and even Sporting Fingal) have never tried such an initiative comes as no surprise (perhaps waiting until they are european Champions ?:rolleyes:
I know exactly the response of the clubs to this:
"Yea but sure what about the cost of printing the leaflets?"
Depressing.

Yea agreed, but you need to speculate........... Most clubs have some way of getting 100/200 copies run off at fairly minimal expense. The only way to raise the profile is to tell people you are there !

Clubs are generally desperately short of volunteers. It's all very well criticising them for what they don't do, but the work that goes in to keeping an LOI club show on the road is incredible and very little credit is ever given for this.

If you want things to get better- get involved.

I wasn't critisising anybody and I do know how much work in involved (and the trojan work carried out by individuals at almost every club). I was commenting on a promotional activity carried out by Leinster - mentioned by another poster - and thought it would be a good idea for the local football clubs as the area lends itself more to football than rugby.

Quite possible I suppose that Shels, Bohs and SF have considered this iniative and abandoned it due to lack of volunteers but I certainly did not hear of it (and it is likely I would have in Bohs or shels).
