Lesson #5: Do Not Waste Time Marketing Outside Your Target Audience
“If you take four street corners, and on one they are playing baseball, on another they are playing basketball and on the other, street hockey,” says White. “On the fourth corner, a fight breaks out. Where does the crowd go? They all go to the fight.”

Lesson #5: Use IT to Interact
Unlike the owners of most other sports teams, Cuban chooses to sit courtside along with the rest of the Mavericks’ fans instead of in luxury boxes. This is characteristic of Cuban, who, throughout all of his businesses has strived to maintain open channels of communication with the people that matter – whether they are the fans, staff or customers. And, because he is a self-professed technology geek, Cuban chooses to use the Internet as his means of keeping in touch.

Who Loves Your Business (and Why)?
Ideally, you want not just customers, but fans. You want your business name to be passed around via word-of-mouth without you having to do any work. How do you find customers? How do you turn them into fans?
Find a Need and Fill It
When I was in the seventh grade I was on the boxing team and later I boxed while in the Navy. I don't want to sound boastful, but it's a matter of record that the worst I ever finished was second. I finally quit boxing because of my hands - the referee kept stepping on them! As a boxer, the coach would always instruct us in the early part of the fight to feel our opponent out, probe and discover his weakness, and then exploit that weakness. The same basic procedure is followed in all athletic endeavors.
Sales Force Motivation - Learn from the Red Sox' Miraculous Comeback
If you observed the Tampa Bay fans during game 1 in St. Petersburg and game five in Boston, you would have observed some very tense, anxious people. Yet if you paid any mind to the Red Sox fans in the three games they lost and prior to their comeback in game 5, they didn't seem very upset at all...
Causing a Rumble in the Food Jungle: The Foreman Grill Goes for Gold
Critics were skeptical of Foreman’s decision to return to boxing after some ten years. He was out of shape, some said. He was only in it for the publicity, said others. They were right about one thing – Foreman was definitely no longer in his prime.

Lesson #2: “I've learned that it doesn't matter what you do, if you learn to sell, you will never starve.”
Not only did Foreman learn how to market himself and influence how people viewed him outside of the boxing ring, but so too did he develop expert salesmanship skills. Over time, Foreman would become an advertiser’s dream come true thanks to his ability to sell anything from food to appliances to cleaning products.

Are You In The Game
Have you ever noticed that it is the people in the stands who supposedly know everything about the game? They give all kinds of advice, but you don't see them actually in the game. It is as if the game exists only for them. Many will say that yes, the game does exist for the fans, for without the fans, where would the game be? I'd like to throw a wrench into that argument and say that, yes the fans are an important part of the game, but without the players, the game wouldn't exist either.
3 Ways to Boost Team Spirit and Attendance with Inflatables
Whether you work in pro, high school or college sports marketing and promotions, one of your primary goals is to increase attendance. If you have no fans in the stands, everything else suffers. Admission revenues decline; concession stand income is reduced, and sponsors lose interest. Inflatables get fans fired up about all sorts of sports.
Grow Your Facebook Fan Page With Free Samples
Business owners may wince at the word "free" when it comes to their products, but giving away freebies or discounts is a great way to introduce your product to new buyers and encourage more sales. Studies have shown that users of the popular social networking website Facebook are much more likely to "like" a Facebook page if the company offers special freebies and discounts to its fans. By generating more and more fans, businesses can increase their overall visibility on a larger scale. For example, when a person "likes" a product on Facebook, this activity is posted on their profile for the rest of their friends to see. Considering the fact that the average Facebook account holder has about 500 friends, this can dramatically spread the message of your company while also increasing its credibility.
Keep The NEWSS In Mind
It's not about politics. Whether or not they're fans of the president and his party (and his other policies), Americans generally are not fans of the health care reform legislation they pushed through two years ago and are now in the process of implementing. It will change the nation economically, for sure, but it will also make deep changes in the way Americans keep themselves healthy....
