Did you not get the car stickers letter?
Did you not get the car stickers letter?Our club do need to pull their finger out, I haven't been contacted to say why I haven't renewed my season ticket thought they might have noticed by now and even sent me an email. Wasps for all their faults just seem to try harder to get the fans while we sit on our hands waiting for them to come.
The clubs PR is awful and should be improved, but I didn't see any threads on this site suggesting the same until Wasps arrived in town.
SBITC do. I'm not sure the club do directly.Do they still dish out free tickets to a couple of schools each game? Seems an easy way to hook a few early.
Yes they do, and sports teams.Do they still dish out free tickets to a couple of schools each game? Seems an easy way to hook a few early.
I think he was being sarcastic due to the way these threads normally go ?This is the first post I've seen to suggest that, so probably not.
I think it's already well on its way to a full houseI think he was being sarcastic due to the way these threads normally go ?
Wasps coming here changed everything however.
As I said in a previous post, what happened before is totally irrelevant. We can only deal in the here and now and react to what is happening right now and Wasps are trying to ensnare as many new fans as possible and we should be doing exactly the same.
Is that the one that asked me to get a season ticket after I had already bought one weeks earlier ? The one that made me think my ticket had not been processed because I had not been sent confirmation of my purchase ?Did you not get the car stickers letter?
I get that, but if you're the first person to bring the point up then you end up being the reason it goes that way.I think he was being sarcastic due to the way these threads normally go ?
You've over simplified that Grendel. They are targeting kids (aged 7 and under) who might not yet have found a love for sport of any sort. My love for CCFC comes from the fact my Dad was a season ticket holder and took me when I was 7 for my first game. Some kids don't have sport loving parents so might not have ever paid any attention to sport.But you've always said that our supporters will not go to their games anyway and also they pose no threat to us.
Now you seem to be suggesting they have a targeted campaign to take potential supporters of the football club and make them wasps fans.
So they are trying to destroy us now are they?

It's the basics that seem to be missed.
Yes, the club need to be engaging in the Beduff miners welfare club summer fete. It's world renowned.Went to Miners Welfare Park Bedworth where i live this afternoon for a walk in there was an event going on called Party in the park.Went a little walk round.plenty of families were there plenty of stalls fun fair ect.A stage and a small ring for games ect .One of the stalls was Wasps where children were having ago at tackling a supposed rugby player. they seemed to be enjoying it.I also noticed plenty of their flags the kids were carrying Those kids will take those flags home and remember what a great time they had.Might even turn them into fans.Sadly no CCFC stand o well another promotion opportunity gone missing no wonder these children are becoming more interested in the oval ball than the round WHERE IS OUR MARKETING DEPARTMENT definely not in Bedworth this afternoon would not have took much a few cones a couple of young players and some office staff taking details of people who might be interested in bringing their children to watch THE SKY BLUES even giving them a voucher to get a discount on tickets.Very little cost but plenty of P R,Let no one on here blame Wasps for our problems look closer to home.

Exactly! Exactly what I just said. Only just spotted your post.You've over simplified that Grendel. They are targeting kids (aged 7 and under) who might not yet have found a love for sport of any sort.

Marketing is a competition for scarce resources (customers). Before Wasps came along, we had a number of sports teams in Coventry, but CCFC usually got the lion's share of the take up without trying too hard. Football is popular, City have played Premier League football etc. Blaze and Cov RFU were probably also happy with the share of what they got from a fan perspective and they probably didn't have to try too hard to get them either. I agree Wasps are targeting fans that could be City fans of the future, but destroy us? No, I don't think so. They're just better at this stuff than us.

Why are you getting emails from Wasps? I don't, and the reason why is I don't want anything to do with them. You must be getting them because...... maybe you bought a ticket? That makes you more of a Wasps plant than me.Id have a word with your friends at wasps on data deduping.
Every week I receive 3 e mails from them (all the same) with their newsletter and the latest reduced ticket prices
Data overload is an easy way to alienate customers and isn't clever.

I have had absolutely nothing from Wasps either. Do you not tick the 'No spam, no insects' box, Grendel?Why are you getting emails from Wasps? I don't, and the reason why is I don't want anything to do with them. You must be getting them because...... maybe you bought a ticket? That makes you more of a Wasps plant than me.

Totally agree.Perhaps we haven't attended local festivals/fetes or any large gatherings in the past, but we have never had such a rival for our business before like we have with the arrival of Wasps.
So we have to change tactic and get out there and attend everything locally and promote the football club.
No player worth his salt will refuse to give a few hours of their time now and then to work on the stalls. Can you imagine a youngsters face and joy if he scores past RCC or Burge, the latter more likely than the former, and get the outfield players to teach youngster how to kick/pass and shoot, then give them a flag or T shirt and like Otis and ccfcway says you have them hooked for life.
Simple and cheap gifts can make the club hundreds/thousands over the following years.
They were at a school fete the other week weren't they?

Yep, get all that. Will be hard to compete at their level, but a simple 'beat the goalie ' or 'meet the players ' would cost next to nothing.We are a middle of the road third division football team with a budget to match.
They are a leading national rugby team.

That's just moronic, of course they should be out there promoting the club.Do every football club in the country have to market themselves in this way?
Probably the most embarrassing and pitiful thread I've ever seen on here.
I doubt the club has ever attended an event like this in it's existence. Ask yourselves why wasps are and why a club already in a community for over a century isn't.
Maybe ask the SBT?I will volunteer to be Sky Blue Sam if required and bring the goalposts. I'm sure others will volunteer if someone at CCFC can pull it together.
