This thread is for everyone that wants to see Inline Hockey Rise !!
Now we need ideas on how to get the word out there. Im throwing some idea's out there, and please contribute to the list as well. The more idea's the better.
Of course some of these require an investment, but not really much at all.
IDEAS
---------------
Myspace / Facebook - OK, now EVERYONE has myspace or Facebook, if you dont then your not cool..lol, just joking. But they have bulletins where you can post information on things. If we all make a bulletin and tell people to spread the bulletin, then it will get noticed a lot. So start posting bulletin's ALL THE TIME. The more the better. Just dont spam it
Craigslist - Always the best source to spread the news, this site is known in a lot of places!!
Newspaper - a Small ad can run you super cheap, Post a small picture w/ advertisement on it saying something about a upcoming game or the season..etc
Forums - if your reading this, then yes it does work
Door to Door - Make a couple hundred copies of a flyer or something and go out door to door and spread the word. Also stand outside a store and wear your jersey and pass them out that way and talk a little about it as well. DO NOT PUT ON CARS - (A word of warning, i highly woundent do this due to the fact of the rink getting sued for littering. A lot of people dont look at it and throw it on the ground and if there is a whole bunch of them, then the county will sue the rink big time)
Car Washes - Start a car wash and make a BIG SIGN. This also brings money to supporting the team in travels. Most small no name businesses will loan out a piece there parking lot to help you out, just tell them you'll bring business to them because they have to wait a few minutes so they can come into there shop.
Chalk on a car - The best way to spread news is when your driving, so get some $2 car chalk at your local walmart or some place and make a simple to read sign stating where its located and come support.
Coupons - most teams charge $5 anyways...but putting a coupon out there saying "Buy 3 tickets, get one free" or something like that. Coupons like that make people have to bring more people, which means spreading faster.
Business to Business - Bring some flyers to some local businesses and if they bring that flyer in they get a free hot dog or something.
Local Commercials - this one is a little expensive, but will WORK. It all depends on the time you want it posted and how long. Most tv stations charge only like $200 - $300 for 30 seconds of a commercial after 9pm on most nights. Which is really good.
----------------------
Well those are a few for now i guess, but lets hear everyone's ideas. I hope my idea's give you more idea's. Post as many as you like. Of course the ones i posted are just examples!!
Good Luck and hope we make Inline Hockey a Big sport.
