I can see the texts flying back and forth now "You going to the game tonight?" "I don't know, is there going to be free pizza." "No." "Let's do something else." Trying to bribe the students into coming to the games with free food, instead of just trying to play to their school pride, has backfired. -unfortunately could well be the case, ADept should have hired Prez long ago when she made her case to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen a lot of great marketing people come and go and it seems like that has been the problem in the last year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford even held a press conference today. It also is a delicate situation since a DUI is involved - limiting opportunities for humor. SLU is handling this well.

Yes you have to stay away from the DUI. But you have to make light of the bus being stolen. or being stuck in a gym for hours. Press conferences are SID territory who at SLU are better at marketing than our marketing guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Tuesday is going to be the Billiken Blizzard game according to what I just received. Marketing department is emailing student organizations directly, which is a step in the right direction in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 05, you should put together a formal, comprehensive marketing plan for the athletic department and show it to them. Make it as detailed as possible. I'm being serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being facetious, but does the Billiken ever make appearances - on Grand, at schools, at shopping malls? I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. When I worked for the Ambush I had to go pick up the Billiken and find someone to wear it in the Mascot soccer game. Granted it was during a break but still I feel like it should've been easier to get the Billiken to make an appearance at a mascot centric event in a relatively untapped market like St. Charles. Luckily the marketing person then was familiar with me and allowed me to do this. These are the type of fun low risk events Billiken athletics should be marketing at.

billikenfan05 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Really enjoyed that marketing and promotions communicated the Billiken blizzard to the spirit squad. I get that it's Valentine's Day and pink I guess but god damn if you're going to do a promotion like the Blizzard do it full on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you still hire the Billiken out for private appearances? I remember him showing up at a birthday party for a friend's kid years ago. The dad wasn't anybody important in the school; apparently he just called SLU up and rented the Billiken out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuiltFordBills Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not exactly Marketing but I didn't think it deserved a brand new thread. It looks like the SLU Athletics Site is getting an update. It does not seem to be fully functional yet and has many glitches (uuuhhhh ya think), but I like the new sleeker design.

Easier to use ESPN or any of the other 200 sites out there than the school's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
