Promoting Club Memberships for Next Season

[Aftermarth]

first off! WE KICK SCUM ASS!!
That was the most amazing game i have ever been too and well done to every single person involved in the mariners and marinators! you are all great and deserve a great big pat on the back.
But now we are in the grand final, its time to start casting an eye further forward to next year.

I saw 2 games this year in melbourne at the Telstra dome (Melb 2 - 2 Adelaide and Melb 1 - 3 Scum) and they had a competition running like our member - get - member promo. Except this had a twist and the rules were simple:
1. The person to sign up the most NEW members recieved a signed and framed team shirt before a match
2. 3 runners up were given free memberships next season (i think it was that i cant really remember)
3. Only  new members (not existing ones) counted in the tally

Wouldnt it be great for the mighty mariners to run something like this during the off-season

with getting to the grand final and winning the league ontop - new members wont be a problem im sure

Melbourne obviously doing something right in the membership dept as they have well over 25,000 don't they? (albeit a bigger population/culture base to work with also though)

The AFL also has a long term culture of mass membership based clubs - still it's impressive.

I wonder what we are up to?

 

[Aftermarth]

is someone from the Marinators in touch with the marketing people of the Mariners club?

officially...yes

 

[Aftermarth]

Jeff could you refer that idea to the Mariners club then? I just think it would be a good idea to expand the club for the following seasons, and a framed signed jersey cannot be that hard to get as a first place, and its a great incentive for the current members

I finally bought a membership this season and am so glad I did. I haven't missed a game since NYE V2 and have enjoyed every game I have been too. I have also brought 3 new people to the games and they are talking about getting memberships.

Go the Mariners GF!
