Newsletter Friday 7th Dec

a) Lotsa Heineken and Amlin cup games this weekend. Not enough room to go into much detail. Go to my blog for info, games and times to be found on internet. Also 7s from South Africa.

b) Big Johns will show these games...sadly, none are live. Rugby is not a high priority on regular TV channels in US

Saturday:
11.00 Sale vs. Toulon.
3.00 Munster vs. Saracens.
5.00 Toulouse vs. Ospreys.
This info from the owner;

"Highlight of the weekend will be the Houston Texans vs the Patriots on Monday night.
We are holding a special blow out event to support our home team. We will have free barbecue; cooked by one of our own and his team in the parking lot. All of our 40+ TV's will show the game. Wear the Texans uniform and receive one free domestic beer. Come along and fill this place to support our team. Starts at 6pm."

c) Sponsorship packages are out for International 7s in Feb.

Hard to read the copy. I'll try to get better pics/advertising copy etc for next week.

Heck there isn't even contact info in the flyer. Makes you wonder what qualifies a person to be a marketing manager?

Go Talk to your marketing dept and show them the wonderful opportunities that exist and get them to put this into budget today.

Becci at BABC already has 2 sponsors from her membership.

Think outside the box and maybe invite one of the teams to a company meet and greet.

They would appreciate donations to their travelling costs and they would be great ambassadors for their countries and would inspire women.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll get contact info etc.

But you have to act now. Christmas and New Year are just around the corner, and we know little work is accomplished over this period. Time is of the essence.
