Amazing Lack of Information

[dagr8_1_4ever]

.
Why does the league and teams not come out with regular press releases about what is going on in the off season to help build interest?

Updating websites with new information to keep fans coming back is one of the basics of marketing and nobody in SIFL seems to understand that concept. With so many sites like this that would love to post information I just do not understand standing around doing nothing when you could be fanning the flames to generate interest in the upcoming season.

This link says it all... the Semi-pro Indoor Football League.
Daybreaker: Name that team... the Beaumont ??? (http://setxbayou.blogspot.com/2009/11/daybreaker-name-that-teamthe-beaumont.html)

Oh, and by the way... what happened to Houma? They've disappeared off the SIFL site...

To want someone to take your league serious, you have to act like a serious business and promote yourself year round.

During the holiday season is a great time to do this as people have free time to check out things on the internet and maybe peak a little interest fo rthe coming season.

Heck why most of these teams don't have early season holiday season ticket package deals to give as Christmas presents is amazing.

Columbus IMO is one of the few professionally ran teams here. Why don't others take there model for success and use it?

The league has got to set the standards for what is expected of all their teams. Not send us your money and good luck if you make it. And sadly, we are talking about something as easy as running a website which is minimal expense considering most cost in this league.

Step up and get it together or hire some old cuss like me with some basic marketing principles and make the league look first class so people will treat is as first class.

Here's information.. Just not good information...

And, in case it's been fixed by the time you read this.. It redirects currently to http://cluster1.rialtotech.com/suspended.page/

Whoopsie... looks like somebody didn't pay the web host...

Andre White was probably too busy focusing on Albany to pay the bill.

Or does it mean there is a new website (non AIFA cookie cutter) coming?

SIFL has the team shown as the Carolina Force (No SC).

If you're really that serious about it, then contact the league office. They will give you all the information you need.

Part of the marketing problem in Greenville is that it was called the South Carolina FORCE which alienates half of the Greenville market which are Clemson supports.

So instead of calling it the Greenville FORCE and not offending half of your possible fans they call it Carolina so they can draw NC fans?

Yo, my guy was let let go by the Lightning before it even got off the ground-I think he was asking to many ??s that the priest or what ever the owner is couldnt answer -- like where they are playing and wheres the equipmnt--why no tryouts yet.. My guy is a stand-up cat who can be a little to smart for even me sometimes but he had real concerns with the integrity of the owner -- he said he could never get a straight answer an that the man was stringing the league along as well as the coaches. Holla at me about the Lightning will they play or is all a smoke screen --- And to think my guy wanted me to advertise with them in major way.

yeah, Ive been looking out for some more info on this team because I wanted to try out... but I dont think this team will ever come about this year. I guess the owner still has time to put together something but i dont see it happening
