Advertising Ideas: Capitalizing On UF, FGCU, UM, And Heat!!!
As this week unfolds the basketball world is a great place to turn to turn to see how you can drive business. Capitalizing on the success of UF, FGCU, UM, and The Heat seems to be a simple task as this is what many people are talking about. UF will play FGCU in a sweet 16 match up in The NCAA Tournament, UM advanced to the sweet 16 of The NCAA Tournament, and The Miami Heat are sitting at 26 victories in a row chasing the all time record of 33 in a row. The key is to find ways you can drive traffic with your advertising and create a buzz to strengthen your brand and build revenue.
When you got up this morning did you think how can I use my Social Media Platforms to capitalize on the buzz that UF, FGCU, UM, and The Heat are creating? One way would have been to do a post that reads We would like to congratulate The Florida Gators, The FGCU Eagles, The University of Miami Hurricanes for advancing to The Sweet 16 of The NCAA Men’s basketball Tournament. Come in today and receive 16% off of any purchase. You could also post Good Luck To the Miami Heat as they go for #27 in a row tonight, come in and receive a special Heat Gift, the gift could be key chains that you purchased with The heat Logo on one side and your information on the other.
Remember with advertising it is all about driving sales. The buzz around UF, FGCU, UM, and The Heat is a great opportunity to drive your sales.
