bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted June 19, 2015 Agree, throwing money at the wrong kind, or the wrong places for advertising is silly, especially for the likes of Berwick. Obviously good idea with posters, maybe the club could look at doing some poster specifically for the Polish shops we have around the Borders. Doesn't have to be anything different to the one they produce now, but just have it in Polish language. Should be reasonably cheap to, and with a bit of luck would pay for itself if we get one or two of the speedway daft Polish along. That's not a bad idea at all.

screm 8,087 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) That's not a bad idea at all. Worth sending to the club? I have put that idea on here a time or two, must be worth considering especially when you think of how many Poles turned up when Berwick hosted one of the Under 21 Final a couple of seasons ago. I accept that on that night they had a number of their own riders to support, Jankowski, Zsmarslik etc but even if a small percentage of those there that night come on a regular or semi regular bases it will benefit the club.

You should send them a message via their website. View from the 3rd bend seems to have had a positive response when they did that. It does make sense.

screm 8,087 Posted June 19, 2015 Could we have a debating time out just to apologise to the rest of BSF who would normally come onto the Berwick threads to view much in fighting and name calling, seems for a short time only normality as broken out. Though there is a meeting tomorrow, so expect normal service to be resumed very soon people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goodiepatchie 417 Posted June 19, 2015 The posters surely are not aimed at the fans or the few that recieve the newsletter, these fans come anyway, the posters are for the public at large to inform them that speedway is on, and try and get new faces on a Saturday night. It is commendable that posters have been printed, but to rely on self distribution is crazy, for example most B&B providers are not interested in speedway but would gladly put up a poster, however it is unlikely collect one to put up they need to be distributed. This surely is the Commercial Managers job Very close to the club Another forum account from the same person perhaps DB? That's not a bad idea at all. Worth sending to the club? still waiting for my reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topsoil 2,498 Posted June 19, 2015 I reckon the riders themselves could play a big part in promoting the club. Whether it be school visits or the market stall idea or something in between, riders could help. Young kids seem to very impressed by the sight of riders in kevlars and a bike. After all, they will be the beneficiaries in the end. The more money the club brings in, the more likely they are to get paid on time etc. Surely it's not too much to ask for them to turn up a couple of hours earlier than normal. There was actually a good idea in the Speedway Star last week as well. A meet and greet with riders and the fans outside the turnstiles. Even if the riders take a turn, again kids could be very impressed meeting the riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barncooseboy 237 Posted June 20, 2015 Dont know about Berwick but in the main Plymouth market a Day Stall is £6.25 Tried to get it off the ground for this season but asked for help to do it, none forthcoming. A5 Flyers sent by post to 150 camp sites, garages, motorbike shops in the Plymouth area together with an invite to join us free, only 1 takeup so far. Used post because it would have taken forever to deliver by hand Polish shops delighted to take English language flyers as long as it has a rider piccy on it. Even after 10 years local taxis still dont know there is speedway in Plymouth let alone where it is!!!! Decision making for local branches of national companies taken elsewhere, company owned garages are NOT ALLOWED by head office to display local advertising, Macdonalds are normally franchises so can and will advertise in the programme but seem controlled by national policy on poster display in the shops Plymouth currently has the use of a supporter supplied and maintained sign written tranny pickup with about 10,000 LEDs that visits various shows, the 5 metre rolls of LEDS are currently sold by Maplin at about £50 OR GET THEM DIRECT FROM CHINA FOR ABOUT £10 see www.DHGate.com but make each parcel less than about £25 to avoid HMRC charging VAT (and the courier companies then add about £12 for collecting HMRCs money on top) and watch out for HMRC doing a 1$ is £1 currency calculation Hope Belle Vue will manage to get the new stadium opening into Corrie as a storyline, Rickie is probably a bit old to make a comeback in Eastenders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
