Another Sarries Marketing Innovation! Empty Another Sarries Marketing Innovation!

Fair play to Nigel Wray and co. for trying to get some interest and support to a couple of what would be otherwise (with respect to the clubs involved) lower profile games.
Students attending the game V Scarlets next week have the chance to enter a draw to get their student loan paid off - they are making it a "student day" and offering cheap beer as well.
Also,the HEC game against Zebre has been reduced to £10 a ticket with the club asking supporters to pay the difference in price to a normal ticket to the Saracens charity foundation.

They've also put a number of tickets on Tickets for Troops for the same game.

Can ex students get their substantial 5 year student loan paid off??? I'll pretend to be a Sarries fan and even wear one of those stupid Fezs for that!

Irish Londoner OK Totally agree.

Not every marketing initiative hits the mark but can't fault the effort.

Bathite don't diss the fez's.Wink  New black fez out this season that looks good.

thats a bit unfair HKC.

i think most clubs would be happy with the first bit of your comment..."a stadium full".

and if the students also drink a lot, good for them. at least they arent likely to be the ones wearing hoodies throwing drinks on players...Wink

It was a tongue in cheek comment quins, but I think we're probably talking about the same demographic.

I think that's a good campaign. They have had a few crackers. This one definitely sits better with me than the Gavin Henson one though - thought that was a bit wide of the mark. A bit like betting on your own team in a way. Thinking about it, I wonder if that's how they planned to recover any losses on the Henson thing - covering it with a bet on Henson scoring???!

anyone who can get 62k bums on seats in wembley for a HC pool game gets my benefit of any doubt for whatever new schemes they want to try.

If they can't get 10k to a new stadium in London then their marketing is sh1t.

More desperation from Sorries.

What do you think Saracens should be doing instead?

As evidently a marketing deity what would you recommend?

I am interested to see if you have anything constructive or worth saying.

Awkward. Funny thing is we were talking about Sarries marketing team a few weeks ago and Beshocked came in telling us all how Saracens came up with the idea of flags. Well done Sarries nobody thought of that before did they Laugh.

beshocked made the point that sarries were trying lots of different stuff (commercially, brand building etc) and the variety of flags they had tried out were a colourful example of that.

Exactly quinsforever. Spot on.

The Saint I never stated that Saracens came up with the idea of flags. That would be ridiculous.

More desperation to get a crowd in. You'd think the free tickets and the cheap booze would do it.
