Running a rugby club might turn out to be much like running any other important venture. If you have ever run a business, you will find that there are probably lots of parallels. That should not be too surprising – after all, it is a business in one sense, and you are always going to have to think about it in that entrepreneurial sense as well as anything else. But if you are to improve the popularity of your rugby club as soon as possible, you’ll need to attack it from a few different angles, and that is what we are going to look at in this post. As long as you have considered these things, you should find that you can raise the profile of your club much more effectively indeed.
Local Advertising
One of the most effective things you can do is to make a point of focusing primarily on local advertising. People are much more likely to support a local team, and more likely to want to go for that team when trying out themselves. You will want your rugby club to be a recognized name in the area as best as you can make it, and that means getting hot on the local advertising as best as you can. There are a lot of ways to approach this, but it could be as simple as putting out ads in the local newspaper or getting on to the local radio. Before you know it, people will be talking about the club, and the popularity of it is therefore bound to grow in no time. So make sure that you are thinking about this.
Digital Marketing
At the same time as doing that, you should make sure that you are focused on having some kind of digital marketing campaign. That will be important as it will help you to gain a further reach than just the local area, as important as the local area is. Digital marketing sounds tough, but really it just means ensuring that the club has an online presence which can be maintained and checked to ensure that it is putting out the right image for the team. So make sure that you set up a site, have YouTube on repeat on the home page showing some of the club’s best moments, and get involved in social media. All that really will make a difference.
Word Of Mouth
If you do all this, you will start to get the word out there – and you can also do that by literally speaking to people about the club, and ensuring that the word is getting out that way. By speaking highly of the club, more and more people will do the same, and you will find in time that it spreads so easily and smoothly that the popularity of the rugby club really will start to soar. That is when you know you have done it right. It is a good idea to start now, and see where it takes you.
